The Natural Cues of the Visual
You are on a sidewalk. Strolling along in a conversation conversion of a complete circle. You and partner are barbell ends. When partner moves a millimeter away from you, you slip in step and slip a telephone pole. You are home alone reading. Leave a sliver of the alcove window unshut. Foe enters at the other end of the brownstone. Tiny cyclones pass over forearm slanting to the slitted vortex. Tiny inflatable air dancers advertise "A presence is here. Shiver. A presence is here. Wobble.” You are in a car. Bust out in a dance at any time because you don't need music on the outside. Passenger...

whodunnit without a twist
professor made it quite clear that he
thought the conclusion they’d reached was complete poppycock, but they’d reached it, so there’s an end to it, he said

Crazy Love
Reading between the lines, she was out in left field and off the deep end,
grasping at straws to drink of a glass half empty.

Random Ramblins #12 ~ Window at night
Sittin here, at mine window at night,
by my fridge, drinkin beers in the cold day of it,
By my window, alone once again,
Tryin to figure out which one o us is sane, or insane,
Darlin don’t you know that men sometimes need time, on our own,
When there is no one left for you to blame, can you truly love me,
Turn you music on me
Spread your wings high o’er me
Hero’s often fade,
In the minds eye, front news,
With revelations of all that’s good in man,
Cosmic Queries come out strong,
In a place that does not belong, ...

3:33AM
Pain hits hard enough to wake me up
~again… damn it… again~
prayin to empty bottles of pills
Ignite the soothing away of pain
please, refill… please
hands shakin & can hardly see
cant make it to phone, legs achin so bad,
been so busy perfecting hatred an resentment lately
that forgot to practice smiling
an bein grateful for what already got
though at the moment
cant seem to remember anything to be grateful for
3:33am
what the fuk is so special about 3:33
`~,,~`
Layin in bed nude for days...

spends most of his days in
the library studying toby jugs
outside
things are looking
ugly

Everything
Looking at you,
When I first told you all these things
Of the clouding in my mind
Something snapped,
made me want to run an hide
feeling all right, looking at you,
When it happened,
I am feelin it too,
All I want to do,
All I ever wanted to do
Is to give you everything
When I first told you all these things
Of the clouding in my mind
Something snapped,
made me want to run an hide
feeling all right, looking at you,
When it happened,
I am feelin it too,
All I want to do,
All I ever wanted to do
Is to give you everything

It is strange today, I feel sad
bought a new cell phone and sensed it was too expensive
I never liked spending money on myself makes
I feel guilty, like I do not deserve it.
I bought a suit when I was twenty a nice suit I bought
in Stockholm, it soon got too small, and I gave it
to my sister's husband.
Being the stinting sort, he wore it until it fell off.
When a child, I never wore anything new
only hand-me-down
I was OK with that.
The phone is black, and I feel intimidated by its sternness
when I switch it on,...

Call of Idols
Skies transpose
To the reason
Blowing wind
Vicarious now
Traverse cast
From the body
Uncertain when
Spiraling near
Presumed matter
Why the spatial
Currents direct
Physical allusion
Above hills
Call of idols
Into valleys
Moonlit nigh
Language universal
Down the slopes
Folds echo
Present thickening
...

the wind in the willows
I was with badger on curtailing dear old toad’s behaviour on the open road, but I think badger possibly went too far, and then deep in the wild wood it
snowed, and toad hall was taken over by the proletariat, and I suspect that
I am more of a weasel and a stoat than a mole, but then, no one’s perfect
