PROWESS REMAINS

Decorum fasts. We plenary the mainframe tidings lastingly. A fresh
noose holds over our heads incantatory moldings once picked over in
a fit of jungling. I have traveled to display. A wide net forms this
congregation. Prowess remains vaguely horizontal. The cement
remaining in a pit creeds forward as a priest incarcerates the thoughts
of listeners synonymous with escape clause. Hundred yearn for solace.
The remarkable A-train distances our betters from the landing gear that
will deride our fate. A bounty likes to be associated with what's west.
Pilot speech the opposite of wants. Today when I need information,
he's on mute so I cannot decipher what's accompanying. Or when we
land, having in mind the why of all this patterning. The default
position landing is, competes with unexpected closure. Last and
constant is the mountain range with all that magnet to be tapped.
Some lakes are reedy blue. Poured in the land so easily that they
become a weld of seedlings. When the last soprano beams, it will be
church for starters. The machine called "combine" and anticipation of
a sheaf of grain to be poured in.
 
 

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY

Perhaps to the fourth power crafting adjectives demonstrative and
otherwise pointing the lever west (best guess). To what extent does
this electric fraction pop quiz all the way to haberdashery. He's
clothed so fortyish he's windowed north and probably the smooth
direction of the brush (walk in the arroyo prompting resurrection of
a borrowed youth). The dog lopes through the lapidary window seat.
(She's wearing all her fractionary jewels. She's easter of the apothecary.
Dazzled past the yes of neighboring phenomena.) This many flapjack
follicles. This many yeasts. This many inclines past the promontory
weather. Travel quickly to be tamed as slipknot as they get with
hunches on their backs feedback and knit purl harnesses the full way
forward also. In the lane that's closest to a heathen face-first farthing's
worth of levity. To brunch we slow boat for we're worn and clasped
and tribal. Keepsakily as we covet anything that's low as anymore we
rotate and we round the nearest corner.

Yet next best, "to do" list in calligraphy, the top half of a soprano
 
 

A SMOOTH ELAN TO HAVE EMBROIDERED AND THEN CREASED

Quicksand reputed to have open arms receives with thirst so obvious
you'd swear contagion had set in. The room's length archery downs
several peak experiences halfway humorous because we come as soon
as we are asked. He mortared never-loose opinions into omnivores
who swore they cared as carefully as for a creche. He picked a smooth
elan to have embroidered and then creased as if to interfere with the
narration. "All cows eat grass." Pleasurably, hound dogs join the ranks
of pets as wanted as the poster boys in P.O.s we have passed a score
of times. This human carnival declared he held writers accountable for
progress psychological or otherwise. He said his nether prayers. He
showed us how to weep though it felt pre-recorded. All the forms of
hair dryer rehearsed a constancy of whine. Symbology prepared to
quaff a half a jug of olive juice because it often had to simmer in some
physicality half crooned. The feathers fail to chatter, anyone can
vouch. There's work to do that's fundamentally compatible with
cherishing our sleep as though a firmly blessed thing.

The robing and disrobing in these passages, the sequencing
 
 

THE QUIPPERWARE OF ALL NEW TONGUES' LONG SUFFERING

The quipperware of all new tongues' long suffering long past
All these handsome birds and blotters left in warehomes
Do you feed me trout
When limber I'm aghast at all the fangled down quilts
Who needs gimme politics when summer scores a hot new tip for all to magnify
Eviction is a science well bred well thought out coiffed as any tide in process of Responging
Fancy that, she offered in a prior English thought American one time
The razor wire of all this self
And pilferage, remember that from rhet and comp
She slept behind twelve rows of other desks so soundly I could tap in to her dream
A little canyon all its own
Send help as soon as moons declare themselves as worthy as the next full-grown noun
Violence remembers these have been been our knees
One time the clipped sequential membrane of a duck wing dipped into the raisin colored Sea
Where nothing had been washed, where there were things to wash all day
And all day lapping lapping without purpose, save to mesmerize
What had been kept, what had degraded, and the e-mails roundly kept responding
"Was that linear"
 
 

LOVE POEM IN TWO HALVES

First Half

These minuses keep
Lunging and restraining
Impulse to conserve
On breath perhaps
Shared or perhaps
Left home to redefine
What home
After a point
A reconciliation seams
Some particles
Retract and business
Also usual pronounces
Its biography in staid
Small reflect particles
That don't approach
Remission
Otherwise, mimesis
Of a rumored comfort
Perhaps simply default
In answer to
The lonely gravity
 

Second Half

Touch best
Known for
Lingering
Harmonics
For the dailies
Just retrace
Some things
Craft
Leisure in the mind
As gently as a made thing
Never passes
One beside the other one is
Adjectival
So and so
Who never earn
Desire
Who also braid
Accumulating strands of evidence
None of the singularity
Stays true
