TRUCKING

Terrific, without fuss
witless inscription Physician
In the discussion of aloneness
he debates with himself inter-
rupted by another
elsewhere
in his being and without

scruple or
excepting the agreeable
days I passed alone
never spent one in
a more pleasant tête-à-tête
than I did
yesterday
Slow boat off and gone
streaks of melody wired
inscribed
The epiphany of exteriority
exposes deficiency of sovereign
interiority of the separated
does not situate
as one part limited
in a totality of
another's potential.

This mystery of fractality
Only in darkness
Hopelessly marooned
in a dark tunnel
Beneath Brixton Hill shakes
the wave concealed
dark mass of great
inflection
immediate
The Pink grew then as double as his mind
after green lenses.

The rich cubicle’s enclosure
with its verdant pasturage and fences
About the time the sun cuts laterally
the western hemisphere
the fugitive crowd.
Practically on pearls
fades storage plays, Shakes snappiness
“I have nothing to say
half my days, in this dark world and wide,
And that one talent which is death to hide,
Lodged with me useless,
To serve therewith, draining
light denied
absurd rage pins and stutters long into preening.
 

Fits petrified rust
a mystery of trapezes
an exceeding multitude of falling stars
following thoughts to their extreme
Fits a patch stall
whack box
turns into black coals
cast into an unseen abyss
Trying to remember how these rectangular shapes
Became so extraneous and so near
The shells formed enhance structure
frame programmes fried deprivation
How it feels to be outside
and inside at the same time.

The sound of apples thump the lawn
as one values other
people in proportion to
their adherence to the truth,
one admires him most
excepting the agreeable
when he deviates
most from it. In
today’s tv, this
difference appears
to have a given character
As I said to my friend
Don’t ask me to be there again
The white is too painful.

The concurrency of enclosure and memory
and surrounding dark
scattered in a public, well-lighted place.
By being ‘in’ the specific tremble
pollarded surroundings
trees the scale of it
flakes lack lustre
Lifts carpet
Inhospital burnt back
frightening incompetent State
waste tension photocropping sense
splits open inscaping eye
Witless fritter bust, froze escamotage
blurs consciousness.
What it is as residential
epiphany,
estate cordonned-off.

The shop-frame
proposed shift of paradise
Flash Flash
in a radio stax
wired to beat wither
principles then that
character must be battled
political principles in the face
of what is happening to
emotional
pressure in
the discussion
of aloneness
ricochet and rident
stings like hell.

The sound of apples  interference  lawn glass
“If your work goes well
you are comforted, nourished and protected
The sore predicates managed hinge
on the weeze-box
withered radical shocks
The exquisite endoderm
proposes derelict
interference of sequestered
dose shot sinus
astarts limen
in a rotation
To say that you don’t know,
if you don’t
To see remains a complex matter.

First you work with
thinking, feeling and will
three pots boiling on the stove
then the Critic asks why not
listen to what you say.
