Three Poems

Fatal Lapse Inattention

fatal lapse in- attention why (you) havent
left your … in the bonfire dont you get (net)tle
three times for go[o]d a fabric system predicting [l]uck
all of the above satanic deep caress o[f]
space & neural pathways guardian of the mouth's in[ti]mate
gesture which & concrete virginity elvis (whi[s]pered to me)
taking on the form of a (large) (man in a fount[ain]
by robbers who brought (us) [news] our "fellow" citizens like
shame for [example] "that deer on the roadside was no
deer" in the wreckage convention thank(less) job with
out words to stop [us] many wit[nesses] & no land[scape] rearranging
oceans [s]pent all day tracing our foot[steps] during
an intermission from (ec)stasy a line connecting us easily...
elvis died at [bro/ken] …(filled or thickly covered)

Diagonal

plow tilling
in matching lacquered
boxes daubed with white powder coarse

vernacular an
ache scratch feed
feely-like
put into shape blackened

teeth dismantled
precision wet hope
mediocre irregular beat paper
trapped in bundles about

dissonant beckoning
uncontrollably when not
found resonating in aloof skyscraper
not frequently or sour girl

in car who smelled of you
breathing like a summer her bitter
to be seen on a minor or
completely sidestepped

tassels from
breasts (like) scientists wont
to focus on details could
endure a big picture results

skewed tempestuously marbled
flagrantly like weather
rubber soul mat cushion
nine out of ten

tests prove yesterday
was sepia today red lather
from sleeping voracious painted
in pressed hair ironed in

catching sallow
glimpse like a fan
frantic for an autograph standing
looking much better the typhoon

passed five minutes of you
sudden shortage of
insomnia velour
swollen passage greedy

headache eaten bottle
preserved like moth ball
wrapped in furoshiki
as if willing

to be eaten
gape & stare holes threaten,
themselves people
to get an adequate

look at the disaster window
rolls down peers
voices barely plotted
on landscape in newspaper

repeated or seen
inexhaustibly because
urinating i forgot to figure in the
storm or scent on desktop muscle testy

waves from
the auto meaning
structured along your body
floats by

on the right side of love (or was
it left)
slipping further
long silk knee socks or my unshaven

legs misstep squalor for
breakfast as if
carefully orchestrated panic entering
rooms in striped boxes with

gold foil containing
your weekends once needle, we
usually dread late & i forget to
mention that grieving rhymes with

heaving if one
particle or
vehicle won't do wood
tired from being

touched or
deluded known too well on
wall living on limelight made from shade
bad breath

of the moment, no easy
consolation the day of
intractable condition (or
lopsided teacup on floor) hole

in ozone or silk stocking try
in vain to hide pinkish
brown facelift white face smoke
even if window open decays before

which on a good day accommodate
more or less neo post
driven back several
decades compressed and don't open good

title for a mystery
anything we conquer torn down
later blue white
shredded facade blows out

control squandered money
what remains after
holes in the argument efface
fixture or manic invasive

procedure and probably
for my own good
or drill or plot even as loggers
dismantle figure and resume

the blood letting procedure
