BESTCENTRE

oh,
I saw a bird today.
he made my breath foul with glint omen.
of course I am the son of Jesus Christ's sister.
no,
not Ms. Smith.
I love her as an easel grand,
though.
I am caffeine.

DRIFTING DRAFTING

the master,
and the servant.
the two become one.
the two become one.
they too betrothed and won.
sailing down the river,
drifting

the sun a lazy wave.
the sound a murmered enclave of splash and laugh.
this is the high time.
this is the emergence.

GLOBES TOO WHY

precious seconds tock thru the door waiting
into out to when I arrive
meld a moldy teabrew
never de-hark my crossbow intentions
pal
never do it
when I'm around
pal
I'm everything in the world
not seen
torpors of young gals
ashame
no life in store for those
too bad
can you craft a thousand knots in the shape of me?
or a hundred gloves?
that would be nice
I am your friend and your lover
I think
we're both so weak
we'll be squashed wunna these days
demolished in our tracks
I want
more from this experience
I want
the escape always
but of course
I will learn I will better myself in any case
open the case
and remove the globes
when we make love with each other
we'll make love with the globes too
why

IMMENSE QUESTION

Who is the man in the stupid truck?

MUSINGS MATINGS

I was on the bus
but I got off miles before my stop
and it was night
and there were lights
and people
and I was confused
and I was walking and nothing was familiar
and the blur of it all...
later I drove down a steep hill

OFFICER

my tongue is white
I think it's swollen
the mirror is dusted with wheat and corn engines
the others are trying to talk with the headless polar bear who has the big mop
golden flecks of molten granite spray on my face
looking west
I lazily wade out
but then an octopus catches me
    flowing...
        drifting...
my blood is the ocean...
    since the crash...
my mind is like an old green car half buried in in sun-baked mud
in other words
my gun is just a dead bird
    singing...

PLEASANTRY NEBULOSITY

tell me if you will do it
o
pray tell
o
now that much in our lives is past
I must remember you
I
am the one for you
I
I am here
for
you
now is a time of great change
I know you've heard this before
but this time it is different
we stand at a brink a bright
at a fresh new opening
for destiny cool and breezy
o
I am so enraptured in you
and the future
and our love
but
in the truth of it
I think we'll do all right
but the real action
the real action
the real action is in going nuts
selling it all
all we've got
and moving to the hills
with no future

but there

we might find it

RAINFALL FELT ABREAST

grace your grace your grace
yuck the
members of the
trivial the
blast a blast
in temorous wail
scooter, alter music wheel weeks
bread breen den faultows
bill keeper
then we wade out thru the snow
so deep
so red
and dance an amble dreadful
severe streetlamps error our way
all corrupt in their beam
and I utter these words
and I tan a few coils a'bog
so to treat it friend
in that
fortune is a band-aid for your mouth
fool
in foolish keepings
do
do
and
do with done
I am always your personal fiend a'wild
the tiles remain

after the shower we walk
and it dawns upon us

SUCK IT GODDESS

Venus, suck my cock.
No, on second thought, why don't you, Artemis.

uhh...
I think you've got your pantheons mixed up
Venus is Roman
Artemis is Greek
you might try Venus and Diana
or on the other hand
Aphrodite and Artemis
but in a way this is a moot point
since asking a goddess for oral sex
is an extremely dangerous proposition
but not dangerous for you?

spat on the hood I did
this sheet of paper is not me
nor is it this sheet of paper

THE ACT THE ACT

so now I understand
I understand
all the things which were secret before

the best of these secrets was that
I am
what I am am I am

well that is not too useful an idea but as you the reader can see
this is not the best of poems
if a poem at all
thoughts o'food

tingle well in manners
for not a tree beheld
brightly sounding banners
the odd cards we meld

yes very good in gain
for fortunes we bey
and when the end is near
we seek not the new beginning but the older one
well, just seeing that hotel lobby
yeah
just there
just to be there I know not
in the past I
was the one there

for now it's been years
and an illusion of continuity and peace
what we consider our darkest problems are really
just
lightweight jokes
compared
to the real questions
the real heavy ones
dealing with our existences

oh well
I cringe a little to think the way I live for the moment
but I feel it is beneficial in the end
certainly
and I would rather abide an odd and perturbing present than
endure a sloppy and irritating future
well that's a thing the thing
whats

so being in a banter of brows
seeing feeling mall fall waterfalls mallfalls whee wherever peek smeeck beak
so now I see the way that this is that in the
context
of this I see that here this is a song
but there it is a quanta
a piece of something else
and land band I see the way it all is

a hallway to the locker room
high school crapola
so glad that's over
sometimes
I'll have a dream about having to go back to high school
and the horrific feeling therewith
and that and that and there

is this I'm feelin' now
I feel this way now I know I see I say when then to this bhiss chiss
the bliss of bhiss
not to mention the bliss of bhiss

yes

the way I write and talk now
noithinghyut
nothing yet everything
Noel noel noel mystery micksetersty
and the store I was at
Bradlee's
the other day
real nice
bought five buttons
cool
yeah that
so
it was a feeling and you had to be there

how much $$$ do I got on me right now?
11:06:30 AM 3/20/90
25 cents exactly -- two dimes and a nickel not too good
well if money is a weigher-down then I'm free sure
at least
just one
pinball
away

so so so I would say that now I am here and sitting here and writing here
and talking to you here and saying things and think of
like
the train station going up the stairs and all that

so it's not what I would state but what I would desire to continue this text
in the act
of ending it

THE BEST OF PEOPLE

All of you are the best of people. Loving you is too light a term. Please don't be in the basement this afternoon. Notice the caffeine. I am your humble tyrant. Eat me.

Welcome to eleven. I'm pissed off. I'm here for you. I'm the only one behind the veil of the apparent! I praise. Notice the caffeine. Eat me.

What I'm trying to say is hello. The lucky recipient of this singular honor.

This is a droll and tedious text, but be glad it's not normal yet. Be semi-nuts!

As for me, I left a while ago, so don't, please don't blame me for... for... well, I don't know. But! I admit it. Or -- admitted it. Or -- oh hell, am I fucked up or what?

You think it's fun? You think... you think it's a breeze to do this thing? Well, it's not. I don't wanna burden you with my problems, but, like, my mind is, well, in a bad confusion. I'm pissed, you see. My girlfriend "doesn't like" me anymore. That vortex of energy I released three weeks ago seems to be "destroying the universe". My knee "kills". Driving all these hundreds of miles is "irritating" me. So -- FUCK OFF, YOU GODDAM... GODDAM... DUMMIES!

Aw, just kidding, hey? I'm fine, really, I mean it! No -- really! What's the matter? I'm... I'm... oh, okay, I'm just a stupid ass.

Love,
