Being pulled

In both directions move trains
making a racket louder than every voice.
Exposing sunlight through photographic perfection,
but only in a photograph.
Split down the middle, sitting separately.
Watching each others backs and watching what is behind one another.

A palace unthought, unplanned, unheard, but just close enough
Liquid flowing from two ears and shots fired.
God Damn.
Never knew he, I, we, she, her, had it coming.
Set up a campfire right here, in the valley of the closest shadow.
Set up to never fade.

Stumbling is never an accident.
Similar to a robbery of personal things,
certain things will never be forgotten or remembered, consciously.
A talkative human with respectable traits told a story once, and twice, and three times.
And the fourth time I was reminded how important it was for stories to be retold.
Not dried out from the sun's heat, bones do not show underneath skin, soul now trapped in a jar.
Still exploring every possibility of returning
Living with a list of to-do's
But rather the list of how to.
Salvation crossed off for 24 hours.

To do

well it didn't happen

so lets make some breakfast then take a nap

Tracking

The minimalist

drew a straight line

with a straight edge

on a square sheet

bleached white.

Soft lead leaves

opaque tracks

trailing on and on and on

and on. Designing the sun.

When graphing out the

walk, for this day,

no steps are taken.

All made out of plastic

sitting on glass

with reflected sunlight.

Stood from the desk

on the second floor

to find the sharpener.

That's real

Cords travel through each other wrapping like presents

To rip and tear the fabric that does not exist anymore

An impossible feature that has been introduced

Leaking into the bloodline

or possibly an injection.

Hypothetical thoughts in a petri dish

Lines of people

Every wire laid straight, untangled for a purpose

Conduct the necessary amount of tests to find

Every question should not be answered

Sixth senses not acquired

Unexposed, points of focus, monochrome, depth, two-dimensional

Discovered latent messages wound up

One beneath a floorboard and a few in the sky

Payment upfront for the possibility of insight

Every piece moves accordingly

Rush of who's turn next

Risk of where the board ends

Got into a taxi before it rained all afternoon

Slide around in the comfort of another's judgment call

Seconds matter when it is getting dark

Serving The Public

Germs
Take the opportunity to help your neighbor.
Pay by telephone
Amount enclosed
See reverse for more details.

Occupant
Waiting for the music to stop
Answering every call
Seeking the snap and a pop
Turbulent, log on the flume: washed
Tests Required: Vision, Knowledge
Save now

Shake the clock waiting for a pause
automatically deducted
Publish the mirror held up
It's reflection holds up in dim lighting
Check here or remain
All properties are charged
Circling away right on track

I like gin. I like today. I like, read this poem

Wednesday, April 1, 2009

Pressed up against a

concrete wall: textures, consistency, solidity,

All is laid out in readable fashion

Empty papers and empty eyes make nothing.

Unsound through easy moments

Wrapping around facts,

There is pleasure in not knowing how a reaction will effect the way sheets are slept on

Washing off a section just for you

Pushing everything aside, the lock on the fence, the books on the table, the ideas in my head, the tongue in your mouth.

Tweak it, a little bit more

Twitches in visual terms

Literal terms

Sick of seeing.

So deep, leagues of depth watching a movie being pulled by a submarine

Zero effects, affect...

How?

Not inconsistency, but indecision.

Tried and convicted of eating the leftovers

Pulling hair for tin between teeth, a gagging reflex, you look away

Reconfirmation, reconfirmation.

A question and answer in one sentence

Get into the car, to go, to see you push the pedals

Please scan that item one more time

Many black rooms, with audio, and a human element

A woman jumped out of a window

Maybe I will be there for that

my great grandfather holding my grandmother on my mothers side.

Roll Over

Justify

Holding gloves

Cover noses

Zip up layer one

I am trusting you

Will I see you soon?

Does it matter?

Talk to you soon.

It has been a week

Too long for any real emotion

New morning sun, new walks, I am so tired

Leaning back I look at the world; motion blur

Thick books have been waiting ten years, they will wait another ten

Teach me how to focus upon your face

Deep roots live within me, holding me to a person I hope to be one day

That man will find me on his own accord

But you can't always count on yourself to get it right the first time.

When I roll over, let me fall.

A still from the film Metropolis

The explanation of the operation rose doubt, in every cell, in turn causing cancer

For example, using cardboard instead of concrete. What a great idea that was.
Melted ice cream with snake eyes. Vomit of yellow, carrots, and smooth.
Man, check out my game. It’s a whistle, it’s a walk.
Still stuttering on the down stroke.
I care about what tree burns best. But fire is fire.
Are you sure there is not anymore in the back? Cause isn’t that your favorite?
The way you push away by a double exhale, one-two, is a way of it doesn’t matter any way.
And it’s okay
But it’s not, so…
Anyway

We can sit on this side and enjoy with our eyes, the deep
passion of our interlaced morals.

Convenience is a golden hurtle that I am coming back for.
