Too-few

Too few

eye-

lashes

flutter when

I talk; too

few

strange

in-

cantations

will be

said

at my

Funeral; too

few

loads of

garbage

are

re-gretted.

Really.

Penulate

There is no

word,

to my know-

ledge

in the English

lang-

uage called

"Penulate".

If there were

I'd be

'King Alphabet'.

My Elders

Ole

          was an

“Ole Norse-

          man”

(at some point)

          and probably

had

         “White Wisdom”

(whatever

          that is...)

I may 

          live

     to regret it.

Spend some sadness...

...truth-

     fully, and

the mis-

     begotten tale

            will return.

I need more room

From the

               Tidal estu-

ary

to the

               ‘free-form

                         Bananna

suit’ I

               call a soul.

It just

                gets 

                        “mighty

crowded

               all up in

                         heah.”

[10breadcrumbs]

Never have I ever...

told the

               sun-rise

not to come

                pre-

pared for a 

                 a greeting,

and then 

                  rescinded it;

or been worthy, and not

                               known it.

Ned, the ‘Ned’

In his

      head

Ned was dead.

But...

     we knew

          otherwise.

Justice wanes

“Stephen’s speech to the Sanhedrin”

(Acts 7, NIV)

If justice is blind

Then the motherfucker better

Have some sense of smell.

Because Lot has called in, man

The great Ayatollah is

Bringing in the sheaves, brother.

And they ain’t nothin’ to say

About it, Ayes they?

The Heat of the Day

It sometimes seems

All manner

of in

                       explicable 

                             events

occured

before I was 

            even born.

The Bakken Museum of Electricity in Life

...contains

         precisely

                    nothing.

And by “nothing”

I mean “everything”.

                        And by

“everything”

                        I mean the

                                   Geraniums’

small, flawed iris of

                         purple.

And by (that), I

             mean

how the Sun must

                set

and promises not

                      to rise

again.

“She has received...”

“...research grants from the American Antiquarian Society (kudos) and the Bakken Museum of Electricity in Life.”

                                    - Said of the poet Kathryn Nuernberger

she has received:

      two false

               diplomas

from my

        cheating spouse,

(one Red Hen)

The ability to say 

      “no”

       while thinking “yes”

           and an 

understanding of the Universe

                        I

      find comforting.

Thought Log

1. Rhyming is sublime

2. If I don’t do it, the thought of doing it (becomes) irrelevant

3. Try, only try

4. Why does “red” rhyme with “dead”?

5. Dead walks, red talks

6. To open, is infinite; to close, is emptiness

7. Emptiness is infinite

8. I don’t want an Infiniti car

9. Road and Track magazine makes me ill

10. Try. but don’t cry

11. End

12. Really, End

Modify/Codify

If it

         occurred

                                  to us

         that to

                          modify

is

                         to codify

things

                        might be a 

                                                  whole

lot easier.

But

               it don’t

                                     so it

                                                       ain’t.

“Shucks,”

             and, by the way.

                                         "fuck.“

Oh, well…

In appropriate ressurection

If the

     savior

just

     popped out

               of his

                             coffin

like the

       formerly

                  lazy eye of some

                                            pirate

Would we:

      (a) laugh

                (b) cry

                             (c) jump up in

                                   fright?

Upon that

"Great question"

                    lies our

whole                                 future.

Man alive.

When the

           primrose path

Won't

          straighten

When ziggurats

   are

           still

                un-

inflated.

               Be wary.

Clear the Blast Radius

Was it

       (ever)

(possible)

       to escape

the

of the
