Rush of prevalent life forms style
creased flesh at wrist & between

fingers remembers motion typical
of humanoid drive in prehensile

era before smiley face nostalgia
the serial tips into a red bowl

your designer food breaks a fast
a hankie, a watered eye, a posey

listening to radio for a godlike
intercession: miracle of the day

emptied out all dreams in a bin
that was then & now this might
itself be dream in banished
daylight a thought parcel on TV
among friendly fire mercenaries
skirting the royal beaters web

casts thick scaley skin a verb
rapped its head like appendage
i love Goya's terse stroke his
eyes his breath catch horror
day traps encapsulated no need
for succor the maiden awaits

red soldiers batter some brat
pack or brat-wurst obscenity
flick on photo opportunity hee
haw the donkey was beheaded
in a thrice quips no estaca or
no garrocha ex some alternative

appending your 568 page report
for fevered audiencia: a willing
victim she wandered down the pike
it was a novel of high adventure
opportunity for future advancement

the un-dead in your family
ancestry, in archive
in portraiture

their look, in you
a pursed likeness
hawkish deviltry

and show me other rooms
open for the viewing public

where with resource
and valor spent old films

pronounce on popcorn air

then to my paiute cousin I say
meet me where

i'll be working under my car

fell

almost asleep

on the oily earth

but for the open trunk
of that old continental

its wrapt contents shape
a body i think, shall i
unwrap it -- who

can sleep in this prescience
anyway, it's not good

what 24-hour gas station
is this: a chevron, old
coat of arms

where are you?
i'm guessing a body in there
can i borrow that phone

give her a call

where is

she?
