HEAVY CLOUDS PASSING BEFORE THE SUN

Walk this way, mudra. A glance. Separation of events: pads, breeze. Distend or refract in the act of holding back. After the first mile there is no other. Take it away take it away bob. It tears up to see. Once. Oh yes, Russia. They made say that. Swan Lake. Inchoate curtain. Just that lonely as a kid. What to do to make fog light. Dont understand passing in this unreadable fashion. Mounting another production of Orphee. Though harder, the second more interesting than the first. Always subtract. Thats not sound, thats not woody guthrie. Run limbs straight, sic transit arc. To prove this finite and unstoppable fever, find a place to sit, sit. Little sister put your blue dress on, that everyone should leave. First in one direction, then opposite. Fold cups. Watch out joe. A patch of censorship. The heart of park central. It is dark of day. Must with, with must. This way before, now slit, slitting. To go straight. Learn what it means to receive syllables.

TICONDEROGA

We came to the landing place with buck knives and whale grease for the job. The garbage had yet to be put out. Barges up and down the rivers intersected long treeless vistas of acquisition. Sugar in the pan was pornography in the minds of men. That intimacy saved for green grass. Your flow. A product said, Hit me with a club. We were about the world, high above apartment houses. You couldnt cross the channel necking on the bridge. After the waldorf salad came virgilian fortitude. I thought I wanted to intend and to determine. The pickup was full of handsome strangers. Marrying the daughters off was arranged by Cats Cradle. She wrote her dear friend immediately on coming away. A girl clatters in scared circles on Wagon Train. If you got the busy signal, your only course was to turn to the unfolding mode. The first faucets gave dubious water. We were going along minding our own business and wham, came diseases. Thundering eyes. We sashayed through a creamy wilderness. She prided herself on never showing her ugliness, petulance or greed. Leaving the dark of indoors for a second, everything was changed. We could not make back enough money to pay off the company store. They owned the kids notebooks and the paper inside them. I was aging fast. Wheels sang. He came to me at night. You could hear the bombing in a nearby city. It occurred to her to mount a campaign against foulness. They were surrounded only by those of their own generation. Flouride was introduced to the water. What had been left at the dump sites would never be known, forever experienced. It was gold. Looking on her intended, she tried to gauge the difference between pangs and his injury. Now he would never own a horse, a clod of turf, marry her. We came to a grove of cottonwoods and were persuaded to rest the animals. There was a brutish stench in the air; could we go on ravaging a previously established status quo, however dark? At the exit, hitchhikers had written how long and which drugs between rides. We said good-bye on the brow of the last hill leading to the sea, and proceeded with guns on our backs along avenues of shut-up houses. Then we began to eat each

SHADOWLESS

Canned fun is up to this letter at least unscheduled with echos to empty the heads. Someones insides owns pants and departs of loud rock. Commercial attractions feets made of clay, like guys. Crazed in back of a hanged man, one knows nothing to do but call out grand sentences. Stand up you dust. Report this to Rick. Stop dip and throb for a drugged note, nicely separated under the tress. Skim lip feeds. Numbers. Another. I sees bags fill.

There is no need to feel better than another. Though existence is in question, lightholes give rise to data. One and one and one, rays from certain hot bodies says Mister Blondlot. And he was right, these girls really can sell your product. Cruising onto 14th, sick-skinned in a Cutlass. He has a certain name for wit, Thane of Cawdor. A short sleep is short for Napoleon, plain or striped. One who narrates is beginning to exist morally to include a host both trim and filthy. It is only natural. The unregenerated soul stages a mock naval battle. The father, once boss, now axed, consults the Coast Pilot. Designated for the lowest tides. Free from admixture or adulteration. The pointed or narrow end of a thing or the constricted part of an organ, or an isthmus or a cape indicates application. Hence anything causing oblivion. Not ever. At no time. The bed or receptacle was prepared but no nominee quite fit the bill, a story of our lives anyway. All ways.

GAS

After this conversation have another hill, high meadow, stream there. Then squat in a chair, this V a vector to that smoke across from the Chevron station. Where there is pause, rush in. If a taxi gives kosher jelly, schmaltz. Your friend belongs to a reactionary party. Even so, without sticking your head out the window sound is. Its possible to go from A to B and not get trapped. Try being a moorhen or Jane Austen. Think how it will look when you are really more. When traffic resumes, its not night anywhere. Okay a minute. I have a motto. The unit is a comet of meaning, as is gas, a glass of milk. Slow as this instrument is, the labor of parts makes matter apart from us and money. The number 13. Swallow a ball of wax to see how important you are. For the first few hours the air seems perfumed. Then utterance throws in, where the modern lake should have been.

THE GREASY PLAIN

O vile nights away from home under your blond rooves The greasy plain vastly stretches closer To the drop I step in for O to be 16, mean, and belligerent as a servant Of the people, driving the herd down To Omaha to get unfed, and burnt like a mother again O my brothers and your kids, faking it on inner tubes You make me make it making you Like a long cool glass a water, unlisted, unlimited! O baby sticking out of your great great clothes I found it particular in you to have pre-dawn Dressed for school, as if such were the trips taken To ready places. I comprehend a maplike cynicism In the romance of certain offspring Rushing to the vet on wet asphalt of a night O holes in the sky like grease! You accept me For leaving us out and out

I say mud for category. Deposit familiar. To sell stamps and then recover. Rotor lowers ceiling. Polyester resin. I saw snagged pants in a vacant lot. Parked nearby. Insurance fires. Ills list. Tip over in a burning boat. I saw the symbol for off the air, a double coil. Two birds in one square. Headphones for the head. A kid knows which head to exit. Why come you to Carter Hall. I think you go with get the name. Cereal. Saltines. Rider down. And fear not newt, I am your fathers babe so turn off the knight, hes getting naked. Turn him to a tree. Turn my arms, circle round the barrel with a hat on. Adjacent but not made. At Sandwich, the Cape Cod Canal. Baby alligators are more like dogs, but snakes are raw script. I say wet, often a mistake. Bone. The dialectic between work and contemplation leaves you kind of nude. The mirage of having been you. Apply once and repeat. You have always recoiled from the crude. See this as I say acid rain. Simultaneous underground. Everyone must. A future dissolve. We continue to kill animals to prove we own these knives and forks. I saw the swap meet from far off. Say piece. The companions sunk in alpha watching revolutionary soap-opera. Knock now! Move eclectic. Spirit parts, natural, exquisite.

ACQUISITION OF THE FACTS

What occurs are falling conventions, the label dispenser among them; even this is borrowed length. The figure In-The-Garden is here in the garden and like you, sunk to the hoe, the pick, and precipitation. Born to abstraction, customizing alterations to the human. Ass-backward is the devotion to form: you in back of you full of salt. Now I know the Greeks came before the Romans and how to submit to black. Even if nothing gets down all day but flyweight ideas, you know proscription; setting out alone again and again into the dirt and glamour, thinking it will be dunes along the way. But thats just a familiar spot in a rhythm, going and getting to work, not only for love and school, but in the interest of plot. Influence can be taken as light as knot; DNA is no railroad, nor does my mom (Rosemary, though youve met) know your pop.

PROGRAM NOTES

An oak outside pins providence to habit to see firmly a vocabulary erupt from crying rules dignity presently fosters. The heart focuses there too, being instructed similarly in force of habit, the angling city with one punctual gull overheadgulls being standard in the progress of tears ending in being. To have almost scorched the rules dignifies the gull, building the souffle of real eating among the calling-up, the thinking, the cheating, and the meaning-well. A sad thing it is when a gull flies against the plane making habit look silly next to progress. Picture the oak standing up in the heat, vocabulary falling down like socks, the listening and subordinate tears in abatement waiting for provender to slide. This is for what the city waits. Lining up for the lining up of crusts after the souffle has puffed. The tears dont wake the oak, gull, or plane during the familiar lurid waning, but they posit the end anyway. To get out of this dignified stationary! Baffling giddiness seems to instruct the continuing vocabulary of thinking, therefore writing, not perhaps as prudent means, personally habitual and not devoid of dignity. The souffle is already cold but representative nonetheless of sheer atomic progress upward into a cloudiness of neutral tears, i.e., straight-ahead believable levels of heart. Some mocking is in order, but that too is a habit of the schematic city; the oak doesnt mind the emotional plane. In the end, what vocabulary leaves is just socks.

Any serious rule should want to know what feeds it. Not much else happens, in Little Rhody. The progess of tn-city vocabulary as it comes to a slow boil wont hurt the hearth, at least not if habit stands by the trusty oak, a thing of pastness and deep drinking which satisfies not only in reading but in scrambling around outside too. The bird is definitely not lonely in this gulley; planes criss-cross like happy boomerangs, dropping crusts of versicles on the city until lightning jars off the rest.

I see the Great Smoky Mountains, fringe characters in the Panamints, Drusilla Ice. Would she spell out the future for them in numbers and dollars? Would she sit on the ground? Expatriot and pregnant, the sister-effect yokes facts. Mimesis just isnt practical, too many hens and chickens. Misguided birds flap in the hot advance of an afternoon spring storm. Inside, he must have been watching me, listening to Wozzeck in music class while the dull trees bloomed just beyond, and I thought on world trade. Drive out of the city and the earth is still. Resemble two people or replicate the family ideal, whichever you think will benefit your neighbors on White Street in Ogalala the most. The human community is either alive or dead; yours is sometimes columns, irreducible. When I see a word in your mouth I want to have it too. You must not be wanted or youd be down in the sewers with the effluvia. A,B,A,B,B. Rude girls know they are. Was his insight devoid of will? I imagine a scale from 1 to 10.

SEGMENT

Bright equal air is mine made mass, plant, you, estimable option. When I sing I look straight over the crowd to the apex of trainheads beyond visioning your doting constructions again. Cicadas are glad to be articulate and soon dead; I almost wish we were this close forming our bind, our plait or matter in solid lights. If I ride in this or that vehicle, you have tools to deconstruct that chain. I personally will be doing the same, forming sheer sides for all my friends fit. If however I am still and not relying on machines, it will be due to conjugation of another type. Our formality understates the crush. The duration of streets, speeches, our musics is how able their movers are.

Gorgeous appears at the door, chimes strict shores. This dear friend has come to me now that Im laid up with fever, bringing something to read before sleep, a mountain. Way down south in the yankety-yank, once, were windows on our fidgety debs... I read until a speck or spot gets caught in my eye and the page turns linty or invisible.

What is the literal mind? A circle in a social town. Its objects point as umbrellas ask simply to be upon. Positioned in a timeless moment your head shops, head in orbit suddenly asks for directions where can I get something to eat? The bell rings but not for the town marking the exquisite experience of objects these we collect as he calls the universe lumpy or you, the body

What is the literal mind? The person next to you in line hears an incomplete version, senses self as continuous but you only a stop a sufficient condition of movement producing time. You are the customer of continuous experiment as the baby born to the tabloid necessarily has two heads. This baby needs a blanket says the postman as he handles me (a bundle). Only you (thought) can navigate the polynomial lag of these projections. I have sunned myself in their benefit, come home blinking.

I am going to make you some hot fish but only as high as a house is wanton as milk in a wagon and only after the neighbor is calmed. I am making you human while placing myself on top. For locomotion undoes time and this alone continuous by bringing near and then removing what are now called Eurocentric chocolate fish. Assigned as homework then, this one study, as all the other mots flow under the bridge and on to the next meetinghouse.

In my solitude youll find me greatly changed but is it I or things? The rent makes the tree house social no matter how many wires attack. With smokestack, that too a body of the past. My beard conceals this lack of place while current pain rehearses universal paths around unfriendly hot spots. The earth is flat and the body full of boo-boos.

Women and animals, on the other hand, take along a lunch. The active mind veers off left on purpose woken by its nemesis in a repetitive boring dream. Myself is left alone the sort, namely, that is bound to rain relieved in light of its incompletable thinking.

Idiomatically matter is speaking. Is the answer to Whats the matter? Must I accompany you further? To see how curiosity slaves? Of course, after great pain the landscape listens as your eyes lay over mine. Things havent changed. It is bound to rain to return ourselves abstinent to words revealed in things for they do incur responsibility in their makers. Where you are necessary I cohere.

For locomotion starts who panoramically says this is now the poem. Capitated is how the grass appeared to me in summer among others in dayg1o outfits (not me) not working. A bunker by the sea says better give me head, bitch. Hope she didnt (kept hers) self-constituted by that most animate of acts, ducks quack the only familiar sound in conversation.

The smell returns me to the human t-shirt plowing through its subjects... phylum, peplum, valance If we ever felt that fun free territory shouldnt it have been great to be going to be and reading?

The problem was the built-in saddle. Was it antitraditional? I had not had one intellectual thought since daybreak yet felt aroused and languid. The cave made something erotic of my own elongation, and the light, shy as birds, me and them, end of story. Later, my own is the beach, smooth-stoned and local; that was my family but this is my poem. The music was allowed to orgasm.

Another world waxes whole as a mood turns away, as gray turns or foregrounds blue. A shopping cart rolls unrehearsed along the street voicing the amorous, pleading cries of the expelled. Look up, the world, once heads extension now provision of itself a limb with some body on it or two physiognomies who tolerate the strange whose pleasure it is to pay us for the trouble. But why this should be our job one does not know.

Holding the tail of your shirt I am about myself. Premier and rare, after rain, spring. You pretend never a dull moment but, speaking must evince intelligence, character and good wit. Will, lit I did it. We like those who resemble us, provided this terrible thing is possible.

Thrown back, the imagined to its fearsome object It was like hearing a voice between my legs only painful resembling you. One of one word in ten thousand what a racket the thought I feel. Imagine us hotly stated against this modulation (blood relation) working there, sealed from objects reach. promise or predication, I yell across the office floor please finish us returning later on to what there was to overcome Then, if nailed by sun I look up is it to understand?

But like others, we thought we were beyond the world. True enough though not a fact of any object. The intermediate term many times I believed I belonged to it then sound, hundreds of feet beyond the edges of my body where moods of our own evaporate, nuanced against hours of political mouth with us absorbed in bending intelligence. The trees, whose bountiful principle

Blue, like you are the sensitive young lovers set upon in the station. Thus between two points its the world that fails and this post we inhabit after bedrock and before the spade is tight (Are you asking to be not only sexual but prior?) I never did acquire the secret code... The day was excellent and moody for their ride, their conversation, their return to an unpsychological idyll but that was never true. It was work.

I relent, wet and written. If here I shed the mania for understanding brief still spells a picture remains of you deeply into matters country (though buried in a book) and when I look up there you are still, spell so wrung from choice. All day long I live brief to see my own mistakes. Institutions right and left never one on top. One little island, how many feet would fit here, spading up a parcel? A circle makes you poignant and I a mode no farther in the struggle of our tongue to travel. As though being two, we stood in all those places
