an old voice in my head

(I wouldn’t mind your) rabble rabble

Been jamming in a rapid manner
my tongue not from imitation but
tumult within the body of one
so otherwise convincing you (you)
crowded is a state of mind and in-
vited there is a clarity we’ll em-
ploy and seek the eastern path
that can’t be blocked but you will phil-
osoph of oh Kissengesprach thinking
pillow or Plato are both options
to go openly or be a debate (to)
ramble rabble rattle or rate (you)

Have you any time for me
to listen to be entreated by
the impossible to be quiet
(oh) how I tried to be anything
but trying is how it speaks to
me through me the answers you
hunger to hear pouring into a word
from me to her and a retinue of
loonies too lost to continue with-
out our silences we shout

Modernity was a dare to me
to stubbornly embargo or em-
brace what I couldn’t not take
a page from a stand for the
ages there can be no way but
language we range to be brinks
we met and set the last best
bastion that can’t be embarrassed
in the red and sun-hidden under
promenades a name is made
(mine)

we will another night

right you are and you are right my
(favorite) hesitance is a spell I
do not intend to be plodding or
slow though probing so expertly
you’d expect no less than to be
plotting as an ally beside me
until another night like this
the first turns illusion into
will you always knew would
be what you wanted to
be what you want

If you speak I will listen
I will begin this narrative
again its two focal moments
men and people we will never
let (in) the full scope in will let
only one become nominal be-
come integral to be(come) two
with you a continual will
will line the new clothes you
wore not to flatter but em-
bellish beyond the taste of a
lie with me night is my truth

Volunteer bringing the ulti-
mate here is the starting gate
(don’t) fold your point until it is
told and by that hold me dear
as the wire strung in dire times
(times) me these communications
take hard times and mileage to
pieces not the collateral carnage
but the body‘s now allowable
emphasis of this emotion (will)

1000 miles

(But) this was your song and
ours among the tall trees and
lakes treat of two geese and
one gaze from the graceful
neck a step so delicate yet
every underlying intent‘s
more forceful so tonight I am
the only one to hear the tread
heavier than we appear or was
said rest soft or stony with me

On the subsequent journey
we quote the first freely even
if you didn’t hear me sing it
at that initial pass or under-
stand the master engineering
at work(s)older than this hemi-
sphere’s wheels and constants
talk not of motive means no the
operant knows itself only by the
artery imparted by grinding heat

It left its mark in an absence
of body and me and marks less
readily or more express how far
and to what length the legion
went and for every engagement
a stone in the throat or road,
jerkin or sling shot not for con-
quest(s) alone although another
stone was truck denoting tributes
to bear miles tone struck here

dropped the class…

I have to say I have to say
it had to change it couldn’t
stay universal as you know it
tuned to symptom and wind
symposium of a him no one
wanted to go with in or see
eye blame oddity by open
blindness the lid is closed

Appalling, kindness, enthroned
enthralling anecdote or scholar
both are doted for the dollars
my doll(s) are (you) in actual
dimension full and underscored
by bendable no sole owner could
oppose or own for any matter
she places serious equal to play

Classy and classless have a
have we gone mad or nuts at
draw what’s at the micro cinema
a slice of a pyrite life my crystal
balls here breaking (at) your will
and bending an ear resistible
like she shatters at her pitch
I hear to swing it after class

I dropped it at Union Station

While you are at it or before
I am make a living stand for
anything you can handle and
can’t let it fall to me now pro-
strate in the metaphorical ways
always the collector impress
your preference express in letting
your pieces bounce to me (now)

My own fragments remain hanging
trained and stationed for lips
like the rail parallel we tell
romantic tales of old days or
make equations for when two
meet the uneasily divided get
to be easier breathers of like
irony heightened at each leg

I picked it some distance ago
far from the depot though out of
sight never out of it or down
counting years like hours on short
fingers of a moneyer’s son
one (tally) ahead as it wacked
that platform was (nothing) con-
crete we both g(re)et gripping

1. threw up in public

She aired a terrible concern
god was not a demon you
could learn to meekly live with-
out consciousness of the body
that was, that was supposed
to go open to seasons like
souls like me the easy effort
queasy seas exacting seize

Patterns heave in muscle
and wash as it crossed our
eyes a mast high to climb
not to collapse to the aft as
mentioned before the inner
roar from divinities no more
ruly than talisman or asp in-
voked island inland choked

Under tightrope inspiration the
out of body rise and falls keep
impossible minds from running
to the spill we bail travail(s)
repeat (unless) defeat wins us
over to the immediate ripped
like the umbilical gets to us pre-
eminent like men (exit) left at sea

2. who is number one?

How you counted before
friends commented on odd
tendencies and shapes these
fingers tendons reversible
you two-sided glue you horo-
scope from head to bone and
cloud creep can echo a phan-
tom call me fan and count
(out)
Perfection is periphery
existence am I twitchy digits
I am (not) the one a one article
particle of currency bartering
debris beachbound (to) banish
each reprisal of the seas like
tepid wee-dy green and water
preeminent body rush to number
(less)
A recipe with cups and (nuts)
choppy for the reason we de-
legated sensations waited too
weighted before ferries bore a
majority your shoulder couldn’t
stable for the furthest shore a
Jersey in every channel and or
wore to (no) more amounting

Amulet, “you go write”

Down to the very last fragment
we have marched complacent has
no place among the frozen waves
of the smallest lake even on the
warmest days it always takes a
little extra oil on the draw and
extortion on throttle that
is not all we find refined

Madness like the exaggerated
serenade of cattle low to ground
optimal sound component and
rotors tore silent sheets of dis-
quiet day animals play down
processional no professional
blithe like magnet and knife will
keep watch by bloodfall moon

Smarts arise collapse water rides
by predesigned ridges but is
not pure is inconsistent be-
cause between the flaws of idle
strips we are stripped restrained
but still persist trickle oblivious
witness miracle and will take a spill
from a horseshoe make wastes refill

(I get) roaming (charges)

Give me penance in a pinch
for this I am penitent for-
ever, my god is infiltrated
and penned by tears I am by thy
bounty a pioneer of-all sanguine
anguish a married man is bound
to assume be the ne plus of his
life among gods and petty boys
who to look and preen over-
bear bitter is the sampling there

Stare at the blank not black
but pale a spurning thorn in
my fleshly willing side to side
with your inveterate best
purgation you said would be
the counter of perfection I
feel swum and upwardly in-
flected she the absolute least
impressed as every rivet of
the brain is fishfood on trays

Agression is in the what(-ifs)
G-D persists if perfection
is manly or fiction is planned
I turn up in grief blind (but) given
sight it fallsin the geo-metry
orbit god is certain to fall for
what can only rigidly be true
you’ve not forgiven not forgot
by planets ftake his name giant
and gas my pressure begs (you)
(inter-e-lude)

cute as a button

What’s in a coat you can’t over
emphasize just the size you up
till now left home or in the show
room too spacious will you stay (with)
us rapacious in love of winter (what)
made you drag you drug moths
shaft incandescent bullies shrug
what woolies you will get into

We did it up religiously until
we read of leatherbound cargo-
hold snap mainstay and catch-
alls a warehouse of the dolls
power outages she out-ages the
need to scurry or even the piece
to plug in the first place of her
face embroiderer in this day

Only she could be crouched and
coming concurrently weaving
speech she’d not vainly adorned
for there was no superimposed
thread like I stud of her silky
screen no repeat no routine
in our bodies felt slim as scrap
to bag or book freely took in
(you would be taken too)

vary pretty very pretty

Pretty I understand like comma
and ampersand that I can’t even
draw but I awe with or without
object wither your thoughts always
will less so your face in stone but
it will still be be still as dust from
lime to wedge and feather a pyr-
amid one taste behind the face

A scheme to be so happy for
you pretend prettily among many
who answers implicity with trinket
and blanket you with language state-
ment when taken in hand-held pad
digital in the original sense cleaner
at hands you’ve invested as I am
on your body be jewels perch

It goes to no waste your hunger
if I have, am, satiable and saving
when it comes to an impasse al-
pine she will be descendant she
will be mine ascendant and high-
way labradorescent a crescent
cameo to my cross continent
