Handsprings draw my enthusiasm. But a contact soaked
in a rolling nutrition bursts with power, and cannot be denied. I must contact
the resin. I like you, dear reader, whoever you are. Do you remember the
Reverend T. Lawrence Shannon? The bus? The Mexican hotel? I am painting you a
picture of pyromania. The world needs calliopes. Violins in the windows.
Windows in blueberries. I feel the voyage turn turpentine. There is something
beneath my heart. I will call it a vowel. I will urge the use of fiddlesticks. There
is a form of initiation in the writing of poetry that requires crawling. There is
also a form of language that makes you squirt monuments. Our cookies lure the
bears. Our jackknives perspire. A confusion collects kaolin and does what a jaw
does. That is to say, dream. My bones are enjoying a romance with thought. I
feel suitably benevolent, and signal codeine to a thermodynamic folklore.
Silly me. I forgot to hurl myself into the water. I’ve
been dogpaddling all this time in thin air. What you call codeine, I call mood.
For that is my mood. Mood is when a Rembrandt copper exhales England. Mood is
the antique spigot that sweetens metamorphosis with the foam of a thousand
twilights. I foster a loud nebula of grasping arabesques. This, too, is a mood,
only with a little plumage to the poop. Shift your body to starboard. I am
hauling a callous acceptance. The jokes about the hothouse are dripping with
redemption. A puddle of wool opens its lips and emits a long vital tongue. It
urges conference. We harden to hear it talk. It is to be assumed that we are
all familiar with the art of fencing. Invocations such as this fold naturally
into a raw sienna and delineate the properties of an energetic bug. Think of
this as a dime. A small fragment of metal urging the radical clarity of an
outboard religion.

I sit on the bus and feel the shock of the unfamiliar the man across me works at a hotel i admire the font of the insignia of his jacket, minutes later a hatian woman pregnant with a shiny face and a dress all to short warms the spot he left behind. next to me the man with a ponytail and paint on his pants relaxes his leg so it grazes against mine. the play of the light on the rubber ball blue of the walls is soothing....we herd out at the stop to catch the train on the platform. before me a large imposing man bends and the sight is utterly vulnerable, the one waiting behind him crosses his arm his face contorted like a prune but in watching he too is indicted. I read about another shooting and the bittery comments that stoke the fire...finally someone says. .'we have no control' and they are right...galaxies collide and we are part of that too. This is my entry on your page from a dust filled particle of a moving world. Thank u for listening.
i just love how you play with vocabulary. kudos!
