THE WHEEL SLOWING FOR NOW

I tell you what I'm going to do
go upstairs and think
yeah
that's what I'll do
I'll think
or whatever
I mean
I know it's a rare commodity
where I come from
to feel these feelings of emotional misery
and underneath
I am smiling
at the experience
but I haven't eaten a thing all day
and I realize
that all my problems
or at least most all of my problems
come from the inside
my shortcomings are the reasons for my
so-called
problems
and that's a good thing to realize

THE LATE AFTERNOON

waking in late afternoon
mind pummelled with horrible dream
waiting for nothing
lounging in avoidance
dark thinking in shower
drying in personal nakedness
composing in machine-lit darkness
trying to make up for the experience
that wasn't real
planning to phone
the real versions
of the people who inhabit my dreams
you were in my dream
so I figured I'd call you
the late afternoon is tired
the late afternoon is slow
I am lethargic in this time
when I awake in this time I am discouraged
but something about it
is memorable
and I think that the experience
is good
shall I go to the store
and get some coffee and snack cakes
shall I go to the store
and look around
shall I go to the library
and explore
shall I awaken
from the late afternoon...

MY POWERS MY SITUATION

"a vague open
highway from
a dream or
from some reality
beyond my
dreams, dark,
maybe rainy,
a lit skyscraper
in the distance..."

MOTE GLANCE

Whaller
being at the subway
exitting into the
lit pressure of midday
Cazatre
in an office
way up there
very nice
but the headache
and the family trouble
Ambleman
trying to start the car
suburbs cannot
yells disturbs the neighbors
the plans just aren't working
Bieski
never admitting
it's over
lounging watching TV
smoking
reading the newspaper
gonna make some calls
one of these days
Heastead
flying over the river
in someone else's helicopter
life is pretty good
the new girlfriend
may be just
what he needs

MEANDERS BADLY

a hallway of horizontal wells
all different
too many
which will you enter

HORRID GOOSE RHYME

Teddy Toe
saw the show,
and the show
saw he.

And then Teddy
ate a mole,
and it tunnelled
to his knee!

Now Teddy's tale
is not unknown,
to us in the land
of the free,
but Teddy Toe
is hated,
for once
he drank the sea.

GROWING LIFE AS TUNNEL

you must never
in strange shopping areas
drifting in and out of identity
imagine a better place

command the force
of the twilight
in your power
you are sinking
into nothingness and delusion

just walk along
bag in hand
don't admit anything
your power
look at the sky now
such natural beauty
appreciating it
isn't exactly
the power you want

girl
you can be a witch
but
it's not that easy
girl
you can have what you want
but not
without the price

FLUEB CARNIVAZL

Dabe --
    candor's your pariah

Eartha --
    your entering into my dream was cute

Phoble --
    demarcate your collections for safety

Teighp --
    a glorious jigsaw sculpture in your cellar

Highvlyph --
    benumb in your bearded deception

Smulle --
    grab and grapple for your liberty

ERE

Wanna party?
I do.
Do ya wanna?
Yes.

Imagine, if you will,
at a little country celebration,
late evening, late summer,
and the light illuminating the scene
just goes out
just like that
and it's no more.

And driving down the road
late at night
on the highway
cars moving towards you
on the other side
the one with the brights
very bright
coming closer
and then they just go out
and darkness
and it's all gone.

Wanna party?
I do.
Do ya wanna?
Yes.

BLAM SUN

every time a new challenge
every time a new disaster
mending bends in fizzling fashions
sending candy to the slightly ill
I stand at highwayside's edge
I curse the wind and setting sun
remembering so much
forgetting so much more
lazy heavy machines sashay
as sparks choke the atmosphere
above the city it's good
above the city it's a mirror
above the city it's time
in my room it's silent and still
in my room I'm there
in my room I'm trickling down a corkscrew
trickling through...

BA-ZHED

ba-zhed
what's this word?
it can represent anything
since words are flexible
ba-zhed
comes from the surface of my mind
just a little enunciated outburst
I heard a little while ago in my head
ba-zhed
might be a word in another language
but I don't know
ba-zhed
I'll make it mean
how about the state of
physical and emotional
exhaustion
after waking up
from a powerful dream
I was so ba-zhed earlier
after that dream about
killing and dismemberment
I had
okay
