SWATTING OF THE SONGS

tears unite & we nod.
Slocum nods too. the
jury shows respect for
the community kitchen,
the green grab bag full
of electricity. Slocum’s
breastbone she does not
hold, still will not after
the jeep is sold. we ring
around the kingdom &
choke the garden harshly
housed. we listen for the
bathwater to stop, for the
fountain to rise this time.
she crunches numbers &
Slocum maintains power
whatever causes it—a
swollen given. the police
kill & pass the time, look
at it like a corrupted wish.
three schools burn & two
houses too, toolboxes &
phantom fireworks flaring
inside of garages, frozen
food fizzling inside of
the community kitchen.
Slocum’s backbone looks
bigger than ever—never
been clearer, in fact. hey,
well, what do you know,
what an amusement park
is this humble hellhole.






UNTITLED

archival bluetooth on facebook repeat
et al be at my
house the whitest of all






UNTITLED

Fills the room with daytime worries
Fills the room with sudden hallways
Fills the room with electrical charges
Fills the room with dead emblems
Fills the room with vivid infants
Fills the room with wavy universes
Fills the room with virgin ages
Fills the room with purple silences
Fills the room with concealed substances
Fills the room with leaden pencils
Fills the room with beautiful intentions
Fills the room with parental creases
Fills the room with arctic glasses
Fills the room with fucking surfaces
Fills the room with incredible melodies
Fills the room with handwritten doors
Fills the room with farewell laughs
Fills the room with sweaty peckers
Fills the room with mysterious weapons
Fills the room with quiet roads
Fills the room with ancient crimes
Fills the room with nervous mothers
Fills the room with twisted statements
Fills the room with bloodless fingers
Fills the room with naked postures
Fills the room with talking buttons
Fills the room with lost toenails
Fills the room with absent nightmares
Fills the room with symmetrical sleeves
Fills the room with organic adventures
Fills the room with sleepy movements







JULYTIME DRESSED IN ITS SUNDAY BEST

any labor-intensive sketch
            oaf larger than sports club philosophy
            CD-ROM channel going fishing ding
            hides misery above nomadic gantries
any icy map-reading pixie
            trailers & gantries beyond the blue sun
            light hours moving everyday life along
            an office party murder mystery rat race
any acidic or basic sunset
            the squalling risibility of Pepsi Cola
            fresh refreshing just before rebellion
            an owlish hoot a flowery downpour
any rosy petal or daybeam
            whisking away nearby office shrine
            shrine animals wandering all giddy
            headstones lifted & foothills awash
