HERE I GO
Look: Selfie: It’s morning:
Ask: Am I a psychopath?
It’s risky: Put in
Its frame things you like
Badly: A scare: Danger
She’s wasted: Years: A gesture:
For example take apart the future:
The directions are: Build
A model from the meanest
So it’s familiar: This is NOT
A joke or trick: The ultimate secret
Of eternal love: Not to be looked at
But to demand non-looking
She leaves the blinds open:
And don’t look: And place frailty
Uncertainly: To trust: You teaser
You liar on the center line
You black ice: Your deliberate ugly:
Look at the morning:
Morning.
YOUR FAVORITE COLOR:
Like the newest one best:
As mama loves the baby more
Who smiles: If you want:
To be liked you must
Like in kind: Or be just
A dick: My life had should
A boded thing: But it was my
Tub of spinach held the dead
Field mouse: Wee timorous: Felt
Elect: We’ll all get there but
Some of us sooner: Whee!
Frogger: For remembrance: Thank god
You’re not always with the ones
You love: A cataract opens the door:
A lake pools from my mouth:
Either drooling or limpid
Vocabularily: One child purely hated
And one mugged for the camera:
One thinks: I don’t know you yet:
I don’t know how: Kiddo:
It’s all coming: It’s all about to:
HE MAKES ME TO LIE
Down: On green cloth: By force:
Because there isn’t any
To run out: I want
Way to wake up roaring
More days: All no
Not enough: All sorry
Not enough: The dead
Not enough: Too much hole
To take the tamp: Fine: Talk
Dirty man at me: Spit: Miss
Priss: Wanting the turn
Endless: Another another’s
To fix: Because it does not
Arrange itself: Living alone who
Do you lay the blame on:
A brotherhood of blah blah blah:
An attitude of good morning
Habit forming: As loving
As it is to give it all to you:
It is not loveable: And made so
It does not run out:
I undo my best today:
I can do and don’t:
What makes an end: What
Isn’t there:
ILL CALL
Raised to rule: But unreliable:
Flickers: Each freezing frame
A place setting for a man’s
Man: Who comes to fix people
Comes unfixed: Amplifies
The projector’s flip: History
Laid the seed: We play
Its field: With obstructed skill
Get in position girl: To receive:
Your good your gift services:
Players lobbed into the game:
The guitarist in mittens:
Your fork is the left one:
My fork is the one that bends:
All the tough talk credentialed
And winning: Believed: One
Aligns the light with the edge:
Pours the sauce on the meat:
Puts the money in the till:
It’s not right how the song
Goes but I miss it still
STRANGER: MANNERS:
Convenience store: I make my
Meals from: Assembled nearlies:
Food that sits well: Excuse me:
Out of the house endlessly:
Talking: In summer dress:
Stressed us: But it’s the kindest
I prefer: Coffee: So-so: How
Frustrates the mutter: The trail off:
The old hideaway: Unlistened
To fading: Would those glasses
Protect or blind if you were
Punched: No thought but in wish:
No trust but in wait:
What’s coming to: Ice cream
Lolls in the freezer: Cereal’s
Stacked straight: Should
Water stain I would not
Spill: One concern is to make
Change correctly: To teach
Them that they may buy:
Sugar in a spray bottle:
Donuts from the baker:
A fine okay smile from
Men we say safe: And women:
Who walk like guesses:
Tests: Speaking as spoken to:
Most all of us: Negotiating:
Holding the door letting
You go: You: Stranger: I
Let you go:
NOT UNTRUE: NOT UNKIND:
We fool around: I sit at home:
I need help: Seeps in: She doesn’t
Though I do not think: This game takes
Not exactly: Exploration:
Your character chosen shirt-like:
Why put the same one on each go:
Because you like remembering:
It reattaches: Was a girl:
Practiced cursing: Tried friends: Played at
Paste: I am a little bit wish
Compared to you: It’s like kissing
Time: The screen the outdoors insists
We meet: Mild sway: A chair tended
By someone slow or old or tired:
Got bored: Went there because I could:
Does the territory like to be
Defended no one asks: Its hills
Swell walled and bloody: The war’s dull
TV: One wants neither to be
Occupied nor occupier:
But every step the body fills up
Space: Frontier agree: You should be
Moral: Should not be so sorry:
Be so lucky: Cultivate no
Attitude: Eat PB&J:
The cats yuck barf and so I wipe
Barf: What is it to be a pet:
Petted: I have a snake coiling
Over me: All muscle: Tonguing:
And the live-in makes meals and mends
For him: Likes to be loved: The sky
Obstructed: Child obstreperous:
In this I see no fitness for
Motherhood: You put it on: Go
Somewhere else: Remove it there: Eyes
Adjust: Do better: Blink: Restart:
These words in this arrangement: Not
Before or since: But innocence
Persists perhaps: He drops a hi
Beautiful: And why whine at it:
Can I get your number baby:
Let’s say it’s one: Alone: Followed
By half the integers minus
One: Lined up like kids: Divisor
Universally: People who
Love it: Who loved me before: Who
Thinks this is a worthless count: Horse
Faced but I can overlook it
Says he: What’s beauty she: Nothing
On screen: But horses and gambling:
Even broke we can try to drink:
I could not see: The subtlety:
I read on it: I sugar thought:
One wants to inhabit gently:
Be gently inhabited: Sweet
Taker: Clean house: White lady what
Do you want in the silver bowl:
A crystal face: A straighter smile
I FOUGHT THE LAW AND:
The law won: I thought
But me: And the law
Went on: Its rare unvarying
Fairness: Some survivor
Cleaning the mess left: Then
At her death too: A cleaner
A vector of dumb life
That wants: Everything
Into the dumpster my dears:
Except: Save the six-gun:
Save the cuffs: Until we’re done
Let’s play: House: Jail: I spy
The flaw and the flaw: Loss:
That the face you make may
Be: Come all on your own
ON TIDBITS
There are many but one:
Of the problems with the orgy

Surely it could happen more:
Naturally: One gets bored
Reiterating: Offers of semi
Athletic niceties: The message

Crippled you: Us each: Miss
Here mom: It’s never always:
Men their futures: Women
Their bearings: What I carry

A vehicle intended as end:
One way to buy is: Dear:
You break the object:
You break it first
SWORD FIGHT
Well fuck: These my thrusts: Aren’t smartest
Like those: Though true they too try hard:
You don’t do it once: You do it
Badly and as to: How to fold:
I call my ma: My finger glows:

When what you have is sex to sell:
You sell the sex: Seamy under
Best-dressed dukes: Oh alien go
Back: If back you have: And I my
Socks put on and never cry: Can’t
Be the meds: Cause it’s all gone:
We call it strong: Who cares might call
It cold: You learn it how it’s told
Around the TV when you’re small:
To make comfort: Necessity:
A sewing of the thumb into
The glove: A trying to make work:
For hands: Which quit their selves to creep
Across the road: And ugh poor: Them:
Creatures dumb: Defenseless: We grab
The nearest chance: Why do we: Dream
Bad: Why selfish mutter: Mother:
Pronounce: If the children vary

Sword raised: Lucky worker: Sings out:
Why do it small: Why it at all:
