flinching out of sleep, resting at an oblique
angle
tightness of body is soothed by incantation
too early to care to check the time
now squeezing the body, contracting in
this is even closer quarters, see?
slide out inches to just where we
where we were before,
but this time more thankful
easily distressed and excellent at managing distress
i think it's about time you caught the feel
modernity looks so much like press n' seal
you've gotta sit stuck, containered
easily distressed and excellent at managing distress

there would be no more asteroids
if we kept calling in sick
these days no one seems to notice
large objects unless they find them themselves
so much are consumed with a
singularity
envisioned as a hard-pressed diamond
strong and small from pressure
knowing full well that the diamonds
as big as fists come from something bigger
than people
becoming enthralled in the business of
occupying the searching self with
small objects
Beyond gratification there's no fuel
maybe no short cut to saying it out loud
Maybe more important things to talk about
when desires are.. referrals

Hello it's me
I read your Christmas letter -
it's good, I liked it
Mom might consider taking out the part
about peeing on everything
But other than that it was really good
I read the YouTube or Facebook thing
about the haircut
If you don't want to get a haircut
Then don't get a haircut
Just leave your hair long
I'll talk to you later, Bye

i'm into it you're out of it
i'm not complaining not a bit
before the mirror in a slow blink, paused
to see my almost closed eyes as closed
looking across
which can easily be understood (or rearranged)
as down
at a preserved me
awake with no longer an urge
to pilot a body
obviously operating,
concerned with a health i could not see
leave behind photosynthesis
in an aluminum dustcloud
high on foil grown in the
mirage of a touchdown
i'm into it you're out of it
i'm not complaining not a bit
rock bottom's nocturne's octaves shift

i wore rubies and bought tomatoes
and now in my middle age i am rowing
down to the water
considered tiresome, considered a milestone
load-bearing, low-slung crowbar carry
why i oughta do the damn thang like Poppa Very?
pry up all skin all naked and worried
the prison of the body jots down its life on a
dissolving century
open the dresser drawer of my Milwaukee toolbox
this old thing i'm bored with
is how you look at your self
i have scissors to consider
some folks die for songs and i'll deliver -
liver and kidney as mincemeat
for the bewitching, redistricting
solar frisbee
total eclipse and moonspeed
just what is this? style of rhythm?
from the kitchen of brutish tapestry
a wide sweep at human interest,
we precede intention in a
catastrophically urgent mess
with the urge to dance
and nest
kneeside nearer now than ever before
a launchpad for more
approach in matador style and fashion
your whole shit is clashing
i'm captain of the Crunchatize enterprise

Skybirds falling requires Earth's calming down..
Appropriate
Disproportionate pantone/ keep away this leaflet tray
meanwhile keeping it A.L.K.
Apparition substitution convincing, sincere
Uplifter!
mustard-kisser/ surgeon-tier worst premier
war goblet in the hand of a speeding goblin
refuse those questions like Marshawn did
nice now that it's all been laid out
asking certitude how certain attitudes
no longer pass
short-staffed round-the-clock
fucked in colony
salt&sugar in my coffee
i have a bad case of waking up
blood in my toothbrush
what if i lose touch
birds suddenly appear around my trunk
in an excruciating rush
the details gave me a buzz
i wanted to come over tomorrow and the next day
for the pricing of the sun
asleep young trees
another utility for those dwelling on the surface
a good smell made dizzy golden light
drip out from an old blue Mitsubishi
excited, and giant
excited, and giant

the prophet Jeremiah decided to build an artificial man
he was perfect he was able to talk
immediately he talked to Jeremiah, and he asked him
"What did you do?"
- "Well, look! I have succeeded!"
"No no no, it's not good..
from now on when people
meet other people in the street
they will not know if you made them
or God made them..
Undo me"
so that's what Jeremiah did.

A front patch that's blank because it's skull
on a living thing
It would be presumptuous to think
it was already dead
Data-mine a dead dog with no shot wound
empty of holes
Thrown by its own gallop
smells like a capture or fresh haddock
Once more back into the sea
A best pal a thrush comes west on a Gale
we know you're doing well
Your death is warm and large

for all that you do I cannot speak
I can cough tendency
Mortal pillars unthrown
by the side of the oatstash
ashes of graffiti cut trees
Our personal outcomes
are so destined by purple ligature
Now lift me Up!
with those massive shaping movements
Listen to the orange and white striped time signature
Elbow weave seven-fourteen
At the epicenter of almost, player
Will the berry halve?
Taste wine? (take time)
there never was much else but the work
busying myself since birth
get rid of myself this Spring,
descendants of loop-diggers in a
tune-gambling rig
with a Suped up amateur wit
too hot to handle the bandages thick
like butter pads
spit a stuttered adage to another rap's fans
Amid amens arid careful dancing on the terrace
Terrible to approach with sense or errands
tan and shirtless on the fronts of my arms
shirtless on the fronts of my hands

I parse thru
Lightly, unencumbered stony

Ive been waiting and wanting
so much to go walking
Appearing at 8oclock
in the morning
Make me forget the word park
itineraries of fried potatos in late March
Envious of you inflict on me
but its so nice to have lunch..
A great confusion surrounded us like egg yolks
of stone monarchs
To fold i led me down for pleasant red cabbage
and modern art
Aqueduct take those seeds take the hill to supper
fish water into two earthenware tupperware
Certain of certain rare elements and gems
certain of the elemental hymn
Certain of everything other than him
Where he at?
Back on the back of another whim -
I can do anything
without taste for anything other
than the heinous immediate
So much personal space..
A needless event takes place and is
the main ingredient of a media rift
Eveningwise matrimony sits lengthwise
Untouched, really
truest fate

Limerick English extinguish anguish earwigs
chipped anglo spearhead
There should have been a swan song
a chanson par une chanteuse
Does this world work overtime?
How is it that the clouds still hang on you?
Why those boys bang on you?
Take a look at yourself..
Because that which was sees us
Perks of curtains
Relax!
Make me slow being slow
that is not how i relax

I'm sorry
I've admitted i wasn't there in the head
But your consciousness that once sang to me
Fell silent

(If you want it i got exactly what you need)

[H.R.O. + N.J.K] "Voice recording"
There was a little old man canoeing up the river this morning
He didn't look like anyone that's ever canoed by before
It was an aluminum boat, that was shiny
He was having kind of a hard time [laughs]
but he was working hard at it
And I noticed that he went up the line a ways
and was sitting in the middle of the river -
I don't know if he was gonna decide
whether he was gonna keep going or turn around
and go home
- Yeah. Work really hard or just sit back and let the current
take you home.
Believe me, there have been times
that's all you had to do
because it was coming by pretty fast

- Well, it's moving. There's no doubt about that
I was lying in bed half-asleep
and you know I've got so doggone many coffee cans
I kept thinking I was gonna make.. something out of them
- Mmhm
I was thinking of making luminaries out of them
setting them up in rows like this
and then put a board on it and you'd have a float out here
[Laughing]
Oh yes-
Crazy ideas goin through my head

[s.al] "verse"
It's been such a busy day in the neighborhood
I was gonna sell this beat for $150 bucks
people thought that that was too much
That was when I decided it's enough
but it's still tough
I'm winding down (with you)
and I'm wondering how to dim the mood
I parse thru (lightly, unencumbered, stony)
