Part VII

for interminable stretches no matter where you cut in it’s an unfolding series of arteries tunnels apparent clearings but one’s view is limited by lack of light or its illusion for let’s face it what for? that pure financial contradiction lovely and even if unscrupulous dagger-eyed stevedores whose specialization brought home with biting severity because the mere act of walking away constitutes grounds for hoopla where moral responsibility of scientists for their research long march to a walled city where faxes and e-mail jam lines let’s just say a friend about as neutral as the atomic bomb ranging around the social formation to the tune of your life script dyed indigo to signify power of positive drinking to wheel in a load tuna sofas CDs shrink-wrapped heads because dust deadbeats with their pitiful sob stories and my trance solo dog food commercials twisted and driven through language bus tour of the Austrian Alps although we make our peace can you do it? are large story structures around a corner we don’t yet perceive a dead giveaway Grand Central Station Mystic Norwalk or Kenosha because of broken mirrors and a ruffled lake maybe for fifteen minutes of meditation with a chilly autumn wind in your face and their gray flesh their foreboding a document whirlwind prior to rain and Catholicism about which you spin reveries deep in fiction not considered to be rash acts until a super-collider or mononrail port city owing to clogged exhaust jets no writeoff comparisons you lie-a-bed to fight your depression clings to flotsam in the maelstrom forced immobility if to breathe becomes heroic like their hate crimes you realize “this is it no more” they’ll be on a par dagnabit to pound muscle through a grillwork torn papers scattered about a lug wrench to make some comical use of your talents rich man’s heaven until the lid blows having gained a spot of the bubbly they’ll pursue their quarry lights out your dimming mind where anecdotal evidence and trite accounts of family tragedy speaks glibly an untruth news blackout your rhythmic pitch bending to horse-trade serious rations Descartes playing the mandolin for his beloved before curfew and savageries of the A.M.A. their burnished arrogance polymer bonds spread out over family holdings about which ruthless as tigers whose therapy grasp of essentials hydroelectric plant knowing about women’s perceptive eyes thermostat repair facility about town with two deep gashes it was clear I’d crossed over and was dueling the dead glue sleaze appropriations their constant bragging about reality while marking time their speed cancelled out through raw weather books to hollow out clouds of capital illusion that gobbles up coastline once you begin fiddling the old fussbudget hypertrophied from squaring the circle’s golden section I figured I’d dally by the cross-current unrushed and expansive but possessed of an inner rage has no trap doors until I learned to hate them as deeply as I loved them whose credit rating and prize fighters lined up to offer research suggestions whereas before your amazed eyes the average daily rainfall hark! a toucan of noble plumage stumped by fate to root out evil by thinking about Moloch and Behemoth cholesterol scavengers in a chopper our sweetest emoluments and funerary urns gaining some weak-kneed adherents to their abilities with textiles metal wood and old documents a sin tax triumvirate of slow thought oiled at the ancient joints with the thick secretions of stolid time loses out a lurid tale about spidery doings in the back brain mineral deposits a beetle immortal against which chased silver and inlaid tables Waterford flutes my heart-shaped heart second or even third time around gum disease and calluses a stay-away order stopgap measure towards visionary transpositions you’ll remember later as stepping stones through an aerie nothing if not draped over a strawhorse like they used to do in the Susquehanna River Valley looks for any old excuse because I’m not worth it enchanted I’m sure by another fetish his trained eye gobbledegook and wondrous gibberish when they saw an exit or what they took to be evasion colonic hydrotherapeutic washes at so and so much a whack before shock treatments and walking replaced some previous fury excommunicating souls right and left a studied nonchalance yet how little he cared because he knew his real worth stopped being mollified by how crowded hell is and gloomy stretches where diurnal changes have been shelved you’re barely aware no four-color process reviewing blue lines before delicate interpersonal jokes to feed the eye on some far-away land that seems so familiar since here nothing does I curled up next to her motherly presence whose sheer psychoanalytic fakery and quiet uncritical reflection afterwards penurious or munificent and socially inept because any stagecraft and you’ll burn your own fingers sun gift I’m outcast and it won’t be until detonation of streets and alleys in the thousands before you can bat an eye and lushes passed out in a small park stalled back in 1953 a last chance to represent the flight full-bore into culture since survival and success match a voluminous episteme checks calendars of dates and places I’m in a scouting party Australian outback so be up front your driver’s license they’ve masterminded a coup compulsively she runs around their owner’s manual exerts a malign influence before setting out like an explorer whose inner gyroscope blackout to police searches can you imagine a screenplay? lots of money and groveling at the feet as if locked down by your free will and then those pious claims I’m drawn to the ocean’s hisses each slab of creamy light on upholstery one’s ablutions prior or after their faulty mechanisms or a crunch not within normal webbing techniques coming going so many insect killers yet adjusted for metabolic deviation as if being watched I did tell him that waffles Belgian even an ironic commentary of objects fished out we discover a taste the lesbians lugubrious spooned up from Mexican nostalgia but rolling stock they recharge a battery for an ego relocation that sucks the world through premium grade despair filters you hear another great story about Sunday dalliance well beyond oranges and unshaved armpits it’s merely cost consciousness or how it went over environmental jars of the authentic boat reasonably drugged and what they had mopped up spilled milk as guilty broken eyes a revolver tongue within your reach so whereas a plenary indulgence tortillas along canyon edge he wants to be president! ready for a chemical uptake retardant to aid and abet the human drive in the gut until dudes whip it out a choice eliminating subsequent pork out of youth and foolishness drifting through airwaves I know and don’t care smell of suntan oil reruns so you get the point namely female warfare a border one thing they don’t tell you stuff like that them lawyers raking it in Budweiser proper alcoholic consumption about which a swollen belly and cackling signatures original receipts a debatable cold design to progress by moving simple jaws an interior construction sorry to have missed hair loss and osteo collapse a wall of fat that reverberates deeper than magma or machined reactions gun shop pickup culture you’ll no doubt notice red pants 35% better helpless to counter politesse and bracing back slaps it’s a question of conservative taste done up with tactless cunning in order to breed a chorus in your imagination retreats hastily over the rise you think you hear automatic and loving arms legs ribcages evacuated by suction locker break points to remain safe and sound a homing device with meat bearing gifts like venom for their trusting natures carpe diem you sons of bitches unqualified assent to beat them senseless a roaring and giant sad waves having averted a scenario you strut briefly there before anal plurality like respiration of economic indicators on the old noggin to reserve judgment for a scholasticism beyond its own sense of decorum I’ve never been so alone but inside the flowers of fall and spring trinity you might say or duodenum coccyx about which endless speculation on the market floor to open a space for ferriers and grant-writers collateral with your main thrust into stratospheric ozone depletion helps to brand bulls which one heeds since an over-nighter catastrophe or mere strophes for another ode to expiring generations in gravity free-fall up almost at arbitrary dawn as part of planned giving an emotional defense based on fresh lies and family fortunes onward through Symbolist mauve gloom chops about in a vague underbrush of intimations about eternality or finalities you can sleep on like a stock certificate or the long-dead zaumniki whose ravings pierce fogs of history to erect their erections and call them love! only an educated guess you say and maybe the weaker sex starvation and muscle depleting hormonal cross-section clearly revealed guerrillas stopping buses to waste women and children that will fix them at the rebel outpost dictates against your natural inclination to rest in peace because stir-fry or my fleet feet slamming across the bridge to China or Greenland glass of cold ouzo on the square in Thessaloniki because each search for your gut feeling after romance and cruelty a long hour as if costume jewelry or imported shoes the Queen Anne style to install credit system they have their composed desires a caged lion whose perspicacity and salaciousness strung out on crystal issues an order the bad cop’s first lesson in male bonding their primly trimmed coiffures storm warning brief pause for station identification under F.C.C. command to take and hold no matter how many casualties but against the odds a fire alarm jack-hammering business lunch writeoff in came price controls to stem the tide! mind you a solemn distance and grandeur enough to choke a horse whether in demotic or a dead tongue flips to zeroes and off we go into their virginal sublime lit up like New York City for hijacking fully detached vaginosis or all but until hunters’ horns across the dale off in hot pursuit coy out of fear if I allow myself a Te Deum or slapping public taste up the side second or third chances volcanic misery miniseries about child abuse once your tape deck or microwave goes on the fritz old skin no one wants my forearms unresolved tears and what for? so that your skittish fancy-dancing package treatment as if I were for sale a cloud cover because people still check out not to mention a depression of long standing salt and sugar to bear crushing solitude comes apart so why sweat it? why not bag it in? the bozo squads are coming anyway and every available worker or expecting woman in labor with plodding doggedness at the mall of bleak evasive torture syndrome right on bro you manjack eventful and gay blades made possible fin de siècle sirens whistles that break Mach I as human waves go on the block piecewise to bear that burden oleander blossoms by the well an ancient tonsuring rite clears a path for piercing or scars on your memory full gamut of teeming life if you want to call it desire your briefcase and foreign currencies when the summons to appear appears appearing apparent after the fact when ease of worship lower back pain they keep a peristaltic movement data log for steam-cleaning once “here” comes to signify as a free agent trigger-happy so watch your ass treasury decisions during primitive accumulation phase after-shocks for years hurry up shoulder pads and eyeliner because useful alternative fuels and hydroponic windy afternoons absenteeism a barely recognizable dustbin of economic theories gone by the wayside their pretty little machine language a cover-up until shredders have finished like the proverbial tidal wave a tsunami in freon and chlorine filters while they shovel gravel to mix concrete because of our infernal breast milk our nifty sublimations poised on the nominal or substantive brink then your sentimental computer lore a turning gyre the sickly planets drained of blood to succor Wall Street or the Ginza poets of the 21st century whose only hope is total listening I’ve jockeyed for position and now my last bastion where the permanent ghost of Mozart a chimney to the other world stopped up by pigeon nests and old check stubs prior to digicash you feel a fiery knot in your rhomboid status quo statements as step by step reduced a scalar approach danger of poisoning by analogy to the abstract terror perfects a mode to match a vanishing past even as it becomes itself not quite the blank check or carte blanche to extradite the accused protoplasm at gunpoint you already see a razed town just as casually or hurrying on of hoofbeats GE bytes your tendonitis your multiple extinction of species a turnaround for her by God water-blasting then exotic anthropological explosions from well-placed sumptuary laws as otherwise a potlatch of images ever since you broke down in tears having been claimed by your enemies with their mechanical insurance schemes while I scurry like vermin beneath rotting garbage intent on hoarding cellular reactions densified and up for grabs you keep them peeled free work their cattle prods as precisely defined by paid stooges whose accomplices after the fact a smoking gun theoretically capable by birth and afterbirth all the distilled horror of television a crawling towards an edge where you just know you’re done for although stuck in syntax to feed on the bottom like testicular cancer or the compline observance we need a marking off and our leaders have crumbled up their teeth a narrow-minded paradox comes into its own as a reality of your shadowy danger once they pull on their protective coloring your network out and back after fueling what quicker way than rapists’ profiles a statistical nightmare pariah whose stench disorders the brain like the breath of whales or singed seared meat thrown in flames and colorful characters whose mission had to be aborted since we are 80% water yet my nondescript surface gives me the advantage so desired in the last century before moisture and terror a duplicity of ends and means your pantyhose and criminal defense procedures that could care less about your pet peeves or sclerotic solitude medieval in its ambition to engulf the stars in their epicyclical revolutions here we be where you can murder your spouse and get away with it and whose holographic image? around the block to while away a season wouldn’t you say? crackle on the line veritable beachhead afloat miraculously tungsten halide carborundum and American through and through as if those chumps of accountants with their violins and pinched grim visages Anglo Saxon warriors whose hirsute breasts lockjaw after a complex drumming language a box manufacturer under oath about as foolish the hot winds forgiven when questioning or assertions that force would be acquired automatically since adolescence has been extended a universal joint stretches your credulity we’ve dropped them in their tracks aftermath ripple effect and then resumption be damned or your worded structure a painting someone carries what should be or is a jaggedy chunk hauled in hand over hand flushed with effort tachycardial arhythmia as advertising their pontoons and steady boozing coming round the bend in human events out of kilter but whose chain locker or touchy tiller when observed up close driven into the sea of mass mind hallowed halls in bitter bear-baiting stung by the full hive of wallflowers until deep in a lifelong hatred that fuels evolution wild card between the legs a hastily prepared extra bit too irregularly educated charismatically dissolving in fresh paint to blow through end of another synthetic road in hypoglycemic arrest I’ll trim back until a head of steam in language store their Priapus-like conception a fused insane conjunction awaits burial at sea a postponed decision you breathe it in never suspecting merge lane or out of nowhere your terminal separation from biomass alphanumeric dildo maybe junk mail a little old for such shenanigans her powerful selfish drive you’re left gasping at how far it goes into destructive penchant or fatigue after battle but whose airplane when you can’t concentrate worth a shit compaction having lost its historical purpose to obliterate your opponent with long-range ordnance chipper and dapper from a convenient remove takes along 40 or 50 with him indoctrination in illness under cover of night a suicide to die for since why not? flu shots and physical decay of the signal ratio but wait what about new construction or endurance beyond their limits an hour vacation slushy and mushy 50% off the top nursing home fare backed into a corner where she calls the shots wrong over and over on a percentage basis while the others sleep or eat their way through life’s offerings quiet wonder a teletype wrist radio managed outpatient favored status makes up some tale like “out-sourcing” in order to feel a solid footing coconut milk and prestige meats on a rank and file ladder to the stars but why they would care or tune themselves into a dream world in which some woman fucks her best friends’ husband for years sundowning through a martini haze they kick over the engines while ice cream floats and videos a new first I could do without but not to be swordsmanship since whoever consumes the most a virtuous appetite for fiction steel wool cheeks and the unceasing laying of responsibility which you know cannot be backed up it doesn’t matter only having her way a darkness that spreads across the planet extinguishing souls through ignorant acts a maze eye-catching revolutionary spot check for an underwriter to save a trip rash of calls freakish anatomical epidemic outbreaks after I had gotten timed by something you take for granted that closet desire for elitism and wildfire which gobbles down our mouths like clever similes you’ve come to despise hands twisting loosely to materialize their motor homes pulls out prismatic placental lining gas on water aftermath clouds going away from prescience with accelerating punch-drunk adrenaline or serotonin jolts although how to abate or reprieve broken cam shaft jury duty and your civic outrage at parking meters such that anything affordable in the bread-basket the old one two not your typical social security scam but slicker than greased lightning until you pray like their battalions of schismatics howling in the wilderness Arian heresy to polish off practicalities as if a drubbing and high resolution optical scanning device where sheer madness of maternal screaming babies from where I sit content or formally eliminated like feces and urine that fresh smell when the oil appears overweight and miserable because PMS fury as plumbing shuts down to emerge like a hawk thrashes that chance for additional help under contract adjusts temporary air chambers you’re stuck with the bill to collimate through a fragile penumbra from the 1890s daily routine not to bear repeating until she claims rights based in abstract trees that none had the intelligence to question but you’ll make your mistakes whether they stitch up wounds or play catch with body parts anthologized viral time warp threw a curve but gelded by social practice torsion bars in a stew of dull pain although now some verified excuses trotted out can’t say no from research into your past too numerous paint splotches benumbed by beatings you can’t transcend without a whale of a woman whose hamartia plangent shadows beneath an oak or sycamore back when burning and lies were popular ergo an absolutist in questions of state control! but whose dog license? after all that expansion and gaseous blistered feet wrong numbers to poll their trepanned remains for the fuck of it fluent in sign language since I wanted to wait and see but why? each adventurous chapter in a permeable membrane for weeks on end with no priors only a hatchet murder their cold shakes after the hurricane subsided la-la land against your resistant strain with people flying in a medical violation protocol agents whose pentium chip supply mongoose leopard demeanor fit for junkyard along with all those goods and services who pays cash? here is your college fund a row of zeroes rounded off to the nearest zero while studying math as a hobby big game smuggling to make up a story of truly romantic proportions lately your reliance on food in spite of so much precipitation a bone deposit so that we’re unequivocally slotted into their future where an investment strategy as loveless as an Egyptian scarab but fake pity and outright declarations will lead to a sealed envelope reeking of old wax it’s our birthright the muscle names regal in Latin but ultimately while I sit and spin so as to earn my keep a shifting view through the northern lights in your head while you lurch about unsteady on your pins and as per regs people go to work clearing their nasal passages and even then you can’t believe the degree of your depression which amuses the onlookers whose line of sight an adhesive touch to slave away monarchs of those valueless lives by the billion but lunch or the planting season duty-free glaucoma to restore mere panic at being cut off copious tears a 1-800 number when it comes to heresiarchs picking an artist or shortage of manpower precludes evening the scare but yes mambo while they rotate your tires dunderheads one and all although g-thrust base in a bed of lettuce and proper goings on gussied up on your day off projects cool disdain squiggly lines in concrete abysmal enough to ignite a revolution in taste whereas the family fortune seeker whose chain of bruises paralysis and abusive breath that morning cardiogram to sniff it out sectional group stacked up like tinder for those whose lounge act fried their brains rather than admit copied out to save time but in reality a big contract among the humans who break their promises pay per view or exhaling trains and dams and public works the butterfly effect by simply being patient as a glacier gets your goat in the crosshairs when they cut loose like a bacterial assault you call that malice aforethought? or reckless endangerment? let’s do a quicky substitution back to square one i.e. touting the most petty details as symbolic of aphasia and irrevocable evidence gunning to the red line prima donna whose chance had passed to root through history like a truffle pig because not even a task force or blue-ribbon commission bellicose and ugly at heart in strictly theocratic terms a memory you yearn for the pyramid but put your trembling feet in shallow pollution and pray to gods in your febrile troubled imagination that a database with blood types and communication shutdown the final episeotomy and shrill hysteria in the ancient Luciferean houses of pain not a botched drug bust amassing a political base for the cruisers and laser equipment so as to monitor each millisecond of tape undressed by the guards as an emotional experience qualifies you for the semifinals careening between trees like a spooked horse or love gone awry while making up your mind until you realize your lineage but that recognition alters the course of things their original claim to title and fealty during these darkening autumn days the smell of wood smoke and wine they’ve left us very little a few last birds or take their document mounds people living in garbage dumps untying the master narratives by sporadically exploding gas pockets as if mere touch a skin mystery so ignorant to mark down your legacy of nausea poison buildup to within an inch or calibration see-through their rental picture absorbs a quotient of witness protection air brakes souring in the heat while picketers and tradesmen spring their load like farm boys in South Dakota with incremental power tools dawn and a saddening in the sky they’re disappearing and who could blame them? after unsuccessful marriage therapy reverse order boot camp whereas they’ve socialized your urges taking apart each incendiary device with tweezers towards a worthy cause and effect switcheroo focused on unfurnished yet bent space glorious curvature preceding tripe menudo in short an open container you were in a mood to rationalize differential calculus of desire mapping onto bodies and through gateways across states and oceans contra naturam sets another fire since in her mind where blocks of feeling and information subvert your high-flown plans to take a powder then when the comptroller of the currency unzips his fly a flame-thrower of a rhetorical agency we wanted but couldn’t have used goods dumped on a strained market as the custodial parent has blown up the approach roads through jungle growth an experiment to derail a passenger train seen obliquely since high-energy physics still trickling down to whatever you will accept as passable jail sentences between gene splicing technology and memory loss by categorical imperative having to respire as an uncanny resemblance as yes then no while chipping away your neighbors with their Pontiac Bonnevilles but a phone call away the rearrangement of your brain molecules always making stuff up from scratch trolls the bars and night spots alike freezer graveyards corned beef hash and home fries the fingernail routine capsizing homosexuals tossed about like chaff in a wind systemic chemical shock before you leave for Paris in the employ of fools whose ultimatum came down in spades since he forget how we spoke in a code of grunts and cries overland to the capital not as gullible any longer due to scar factors I’m compiling for a midnight run across yet another border cheese tomatoes starched shirts and endless narcissism salvos delivered with a compelling gusto yet when sanity has been restored and hillbilly revenge has become a bad joke you dip back into your dream pot an enema bag when sleeping in comes to a rude halt because your body refuses decades of mistreatment as viewing experience whips out her Visa gold card at ease gentlemen now then we’ve gathered here preeminent thinkers and technologists whose lizard agenda makes its usual pitch to magnetically seal off the area for later use were I to discover their quarantined hearts where shrinkage and expansion and one’s dependence on the food chain facilitated by money another admission of infatuation delivered from a central hopelessness implicates your baseline poverty thinking she can communicate with dogs your fairly ceaseless genetic ambiguity too many courtroom scenes the lazily turning fan blades a Joseph Conrad sublimity when tractor trailer jackknifes on the interstate angel disguised in human garb for a spiritual price fills in blanks as emotionally disabled by demolitions team whose sole point and exclusive if premature engagement but at least you can say that for her a sexist office party since in a spelunking expedition the nor-adrenaline facility a perfect geriatric challenge when dosages are quadrupled to doomsday won’t last beyond your personal apocalypse but who said otherwise? and tiny sculptures of parakeets and vipers etched like varicose veins or scarlet spiderwebs unable or unwilling but prime suspects logged then they like to unwind next door before winding back up political plot meat with psyches like kites blowing away to a Greek island but what was produced stained teeth animal grub by the bag an omniscient floating point co-processor dividing labor like they prescribed until pustules or skin rash grated cheese darling there are people with their feelings in question who take the time to reap that whirlwind over the lips flapping on network TV your source for current data sludge plugs pre-Cambrian bacteria trapped in a vacuum after they sucked out the life Dodge City on impulse slides in and out until professional services deep in muscle tissue bakery goods swimming in meltdown or sarcoma statistics a ruined face their restaurant culture to keep one step ahead pseudonymously fights off reports dying for the scoop to beautify anyone out there overhearing static in-breeding a thinly sliced flesh operative their goddam bandwagon doesn’t change until crushed by events that flatten you like medical examinations drawn back into reiterative fifth wave where trash guts stonewall the micro-myths and here you are licking your wounds with a viral count still slashing the public in your head on awakening it pulled away its phony predictions having been stimulated by the mass media as long as cash money and bankers’ hours some small sign of life they wash their cars with horse fat and lugubrious solemnity each ambulatory and in a cocoon of metal glass plastic calls to the Great Spirit an audience of sorts like little boys with guns about face to confront drudgery ironing and discipline without some further sublimation or Aufhebung their corsets burst before intimate final exposure and how things seem Plaza at 5 for a Campari ride to the airport 40 winks in private quarters his angry tone seething with an ominous energy as if swept up by voice boxes the dry cleaners a banana delight or error liking that’s classified before conception and absent feeling where disordered chronological kingdom to shame their abrasions until you’re ready to die to ask about ire cars cells raining down an ingratitude decentered by information values or bandaged cheeks of chocolate antennae their permanent need doubled as Edenic Oedipal table service a degree like they say raw garlic intoned with boredom if not nativist hatred ice chopper clause that almost inside out to go dragged out through steam pipes a fury of blame that lasts and lasts until the cilantro and clamps down to stifle your face’s dark flowers we’ve abdicated gracelessly wanting a 6 o-clock Spaniard to polish their philosophy yep even that because if you don’t stay within the lines a scuba accident ghettoized by too much shallow explanation indoors through marine layer King Kong or I told you it wouldn’t last the night now that all the seasons intersect to unscramble the blues Bay of Biscay or the Balearic Islands caned brutally for the hell of it you hear water again and can’t separate dream from disguise a dramatic mellowing newspaper account to launch some hare-brained project that breaks their simplicities unfolded although chances are that harmony and freedom to blow out your brains with initiative concentrically arranged to take most advantage of theoretical mystery during celebrations of the planetary alignments when Brahe stepped up full of piss and vinegar virginal but we’ve tacitly agreed to decorate another smooth forehead or biceps apres le deluge botanical shadows and hammering I experienced tunnel vision gone ape at no one to be with just opportunities flushed you’re paralyzed it didn’t happen a slug fest until you think backwards or break the mirror because life isn’t that interesting a trail blazer whose term limits ink-soaked epidermal detonations in a row across sandy wastes that lead the unwary eye like so many lost mountain climbers dropping one by one in their anthropological ethnographies submissively displayed as cinematic montage from whom a wiry frame between night and day mockery of your inquiring mind in repressed repossession of one’s sole purpose to erect scenarios wildly because we’re removing each filiation plucked cruelly from the dark as their criminal detection policies or wish fulfillment agencies beyond which only the congenitally foolhardy looking for an opening with a feel for hefting steel I was learning karate for five minutes they’re moving props a crowd babble mosquito nets building a marketplace at source of tears omphalos and herm stones gunwales an oil slick pulls up stakes bearing brunt for having dealt blows viciously you see I’m able to return at least in thought which sums it up while your own mind works through gauze curtains frightened at the stillness then the population experts with their pneumatic eyesight and hedge clippers to make sure the optical illusion of paradise and unrestrained production distributed slush of hourly pay or recipes for trouble while they listen to themselves chattering about the weather I’m brought up short by circumstantial untruths in utero ab ovo having sworn an oath since what are you going to do without your little handmaiden whose only desire neglect charity have pity on them who need it most while each phase of your cycle I’m taking the time to draft a reply to unasked questions as a way of apologizing for what never happened these words our absence she stole you but forgot about classic Schillerian aesthetics! one comes back around weighing one’s chances and my unitary advocacy or fetching smiles at another commenced process of debilitating prolixity a cancerous multiplication salt smell from dredging as they plug themselves right back in Icarus up to no good whereas a steak dinner and a good smoke some perceived kindness like warmth in your belly after years of suffering for what? don’t make me laugh with your mellifluent truisms about southerners raging at the dust because Pangloss and company a factory alright on a city street in benign arrest wants to draw that picture hair and nails included as custom designed with a definite ulterior motive several hundred pages long shaping up in a back-handed power grab so how many moves until leniency or the midnight hour clemency signature that releases you into a world gone mad detritus along coastline always a wind through the auto bodies their meat locks frozen a door jamb for sale each accompanied guest whose shoe size or bloody remains a screwdriver found nearby you run your hand over the polished wood intimate records that surfaced after they pretended to forget structures of obedience with machine guts so listen up understood and slotted in where an opening through these years of work haze strappado then flesh-eating bacteria once you see that even our furniture and boxes e-mail to intersect with abandoned warehouses on the outskirts shoots the curl various control slices a knob for easy units as they drive in and out sorting mail revolvers while hundreds of police shows with a steady supply not worth a how-do-you-do but realistically a raggedy mood pulls it off while you doze away some percentage adjacent to itself in a structuralist piercing tone reaching for blade or awl to gouge through bone an anti-gravity field steps gingerly over mines and quicksand pockets 10 more days a nickel legs closed but only until a fire alarm or hardening column whereas anyone can tell you straight up words in brain and whose waddle as if watering eyes the RV dump get up on top for an all-out ride but don’t count on it lip-synced as dray animal scopic or haptic to jam a stake down your throat in open acknowledgment of maintenance costs not for nothing but self-pity and orgies of doubt to be expiated a paste of sorts nicely juxtaposed with Armenian church practices or Mohammed’s law that proscribes female odor hallucinatory towards the mid-point of heavy-duty using and using up at both extremes sensory deprivation a culinary flop house my dwindling supply a fur on your tongue adds to their sense of general decay seeping from foundations in advanced rot and termite damage in National Archives or was it the Smithsonian where Mickey Mouse and Christ were being showcased along with Revolutionary War costumes and New England farm implements the uncomplicated lives of sports figures room to grow in vitriolic intent you traipse through woods wanting what New Yorkers hate their furrowed hearts and elliptical statements to the contrary double agent in alcohol and meat loyal among pestilential lowlands rats in vegetables because now I know how to solo which they arranged out of hateful scorn scaled down to classical restraint or anal compulsion take five for a hoe-down jamboree frozen nitrogen and escalating baud rates to placate? rolls away in yaw to perogee for ideal vis-à-vis or their floaters and junk words then another bout of murderous rage bottled for export to the Netherlands on call 24 hours you overslept had to doctor their results timed to coincide with the strike until you extract a confession like a bad tooth and muster up spirit slender among vines in a high-speed time-lapse as if kicked by a mule in the spine you’re brought up short great you hum some ditty from your honey controlled intake since they’ve released their court orders and search warrants a robot factory par excellence or human needs? a composite drawing of accused child molester overwhelmed by the news as a wall that knocks in piping like Saturn’s rings or cobalt eyes eschews all knowledge but they’ve got a comeback mailing list a pittance in that scheme synchronicity whether you buy in brokered by sheer gall exeunt in silence until they hit the streets to assess their gain again assuming your usual turpitude or televised chase having gone to the ends of the earth on government business a swat team fling to underlings as flippancy you made your symbolic slip-up which even torching a string of clubs cannot dodge an unbalanced constriction alphabetical tawdry retellings of ennui and deep southern goo or boredom of a refined nature repartee a swashbuckler to be sure and keel-hauling your ass for primo information joins their legerdemain to a professional certification process as spun out like a savage tale when whammo! shattered glass a wrecking crew where what you felt was discounted because human monstrous ill feet and fists slam the walls a futile rejuvenation the fort-da game outlines in beautiful shades their profiles absorbing gravitational force in spiraling lazy loop-the-loops and what awaits? chary of empty rooms a dust layer in air or softly moving branches epitomizing the bank’s default office with automatic doors and a frisking every time you enter their x-ray hands etiological like a delta where worship has been excommunicated some frenzy of pretense before your body is systematically torn down it’s so much fluff at last toothsome because whose firearms and roving bands that never failed until the time they failed to plaster her face across the screen while hysterical subjects redefined their rootedness as a new tongue but translated by others since opening up trade routes for precious little you’d ever be able to make stick given our orderly unraveling passports and insignias or secret calls sent out like paper cranes on the flood of images my bone reach wrenched their outbursts and vilifications a stupefied look recusant imprecations borne heroically now that gestures of such scope have become mixed with gluten and rye whiskey my ancient family adagio caught in throat and wrung out with a housewifely mediation on the indubitable namely championing a ball of lint or ham hock your scrivening and scrapes with the law made the more indiscreet a glaring act don’t take a back seat but stippling technique a visual textere or each pore of your old old body a calm open eye to play for keeps ripping bark from oaks and sequoias until turbine howl to a high whine before takeoff suddenly the bottom falls out alternating current one prestidigitator whose personalized logic flies in the face we’ve hit a red line let’s bill an hourly theft of digital units one two three ad infinitum because a cosmetic veil to plunder Czech villages as if delusions of that narrative had never come into being or gone blank like the eyes of a dead dog muscular to the hilt and pushing aside weaklings or findlings an axiomatic ontology like breasts on men or vestigial spurs a fake crack in a smooth seamless world tunes in at 6 for an update on more premeditated killings if you believe the anchor herself capsized and soon passed over by hellish ambition the toll house where a multiple axe “event” or gory details a sense of sexual relief before epidemic and nurturing were bashed you stoke your flagging fantasies sureties offered but not my multicultural ideologies a defined line as mapped for chanting and excised from nothing really they whip their way through these confines with no specialties listed as if a four-square presence had

aspect of planetary conjunction for example the Galileo Jupiter probe years later a kindly type goes to Hollywood hat in hand step and fetch it eating disorder endemic to breast removal gang signs individually misappropriated as sunshine kids gets sucked into local politics ad hominem when all you want to do is turn state’s evidence or pry up floorboards with a crowbar from hell your deal-making dream raid simple objects in a web of deceit Saigon before the fall hacks up matting because flash of recognition or blowers to distribute errant signals as we’ve been advised by the prefecture dynastic disarray down by seashore your crazed old salts reminiscing about fried rice and prawns in Honolulu now that nation states and jurisdictions or a ball of light poised at the tip of each leaf since the more you respond to a breathy confession “mute for the moment” out of context until like a bullet blood to influence the course of fate in a photographic negative once the benchmark slipped as if her expectations and degenerate car engines but not even a word of gratitude anaerobic or glycogen stores on credit my fascinated feet move off at odds with the spirit of history when their fetid breath stitching a shroud of lies about the French Revolution or grand ontological claims about being and original sin or one’s oneness but the Greyhound has left for Topeka and a quantum of your mind belongs to an impenetrable Cartesian conundrum so you pack and bid them adieu in your best accent not one at all vaporized by speed dateline Paris as though compensation or experience inside another system whose cracked surface but no view of trees a street your changing ideas about what you want their genitives proliferating like white flies or tiny chunks of code swimming through their ether but if too successful they’ll wipe themselves out glue on glass slides and then some profundity that rocks the rafters with shocks of laughter unprintable eschatology that floats in suspension while you scramble to amble and wonder at your thunder stolen by trolls with nothing better to occupy their nights so sign the guest book emphatically but Oaxaca or professional pony tails beneath a gleaming dome the Great Wall extends a lateral across your body more better than insatiable lust for goods when seconded by a quorum of fragments until she falls back on half-truths as deaf to reason as blind to the obvious since making a clear choice having sought out your garden variety ostranenie but reporting requirements for their hooks deep in your submissive translations since who knows what they figured? doxologies in a soft breeze and deadly nightshade belladonna the mandrake root nourished on the blood of slaughtered heroes skips a step to assert free will because how much applies to you? a stuffed goose of a woman or Mannheim Steamroller doctored for a fake sublimity they rush to pack in before an artificial end rumored sweetly the way your executioner looks at you because she states her position with empty words but you’re doomed past canal bridge a mounting pressure to jump by waylaying innocent bystanders flayed alive with barbed wire right out to the edge where primal screams that undo your sanctity with a placid muscle formation picks up the strand you turn aside and listen avidly to silence step by step she ran away with her serious accusations of abuse stalled out beneath date palms south of Indio or a dotage for sure pathos her rage and flight then the complications and anxieties that seem woven into the fabric your physical repulsion shopping around pulp to top where blood speaks to blood a fog of scarlet droplets ambulance corps de ballet battlefields having been psyched up like old men sitting around playing cards stumbled upon a treasure of form you can hear their evil creeping inflation but Sylvia or pitifully eager to get on a first-name basis with a set of keys your denuded trees acid rain against trumped up claims of ownership that reached back through mists of time and tides to an originary receipt which you’ll have to produce if you expect resolute squinty-eyed gentlemen their toupee boxes and designer luggage in tow you’re professionally managed schedules of meetings and dinners until you land in a hole coated with grime bedbugs African loss magnified by sleep victims whose empathy is stopped cold to become clear that symbolically condemned and dismissed would have been far preferable because of my own torture about which they read from a comfortable distance held at bay by electronic surveillance dogs guns a history of moods and failed projects apartheid for example and fear of being embraced by instant cash for your wreck of a body whose decline or regional accomplishment while they cover the ground in a small bed and hope for a happy moment even though each last December or repeated tasks of humans whose destiny founders against the coastal outcroppings since apparently no one brought in to conciliate through combining resources in that parlance you snort your disapproval and rightly so drops cellular service and newspaper subscriptions as their greatcoats are not impervious slides down banister with cabbages and cucumbers slogging through like a good trooper whose last thought was unslaked thirst flesh wounds refusing to heal and just acts laughed out of court by well armed bailiffs brooking no difference to get one’s portion postponed due to diabetes or maladapted data in cops and robbers or sandbox gymnastics 10-penny nails sturdy as a post now that dirt your sense of temporal flowering since it’s not all the same at a primitive visceral melanin-deprived prosaic act of genuine dread you hear a whine like tiny insects whirring their metabolic blockers a wantonness luxurious in its abandon maybe killed through some slip-up until her health snaps the dead leaves floating to the ground in spite of your clever wily dodges light thin as beaten air while personalities in open conflict with your machine parts adversely affects knockdown potential alongside the abortion mills binderies and warehouses as we figure out a back-room deal in which tender hands nausea at the thought that aggression bad luck even for the tough old bird a wintry bluster of high gray widely regarded behind closed doors when her chicken-shit duty or poorly made but whose standard of living openly rude itching for a drag-out you lavish little attention and rush off to your next slashing astonished looks graven on their petrified visages because a phenomenological hermeneutics rainfall on a loving earth just penniless bums caught in biology until a merciful coup de grace with its attendant mythology from which there’s no waking up as if dealt a blow like accountants burrowing through numbers and congenital genitals where your foreign enclave demands asylum in its pragmatics that transcend food customs where they’re squandering themselves among nations thrones wheels in lead-up to let-down that excludes their bickering because youthful optimism having emigrated to become a baseball coach even if only to spark another uprising among rank and file but who buys that old-time garbage the middle-aged women on the skids after the parties of their blasted memories begin to vaporize it’s kiss and tell all over again a monotonous folding and strife between sinners whose very perfections have been catalogued while her vicious inner nature by way of constant degradation not easy to accept responsibility for since it’s a stone projection last-minute clustering around the mother ship with swelling strains but whether they’re real a decay function or trip to the grave during this accursed season postponed until an impossible juncture sustains some plain melody done through solo efforts over years but rapidly deployed drum beats you might request your incontrovertible proof stuffed pipes in order to hit their faces cheek by jowl goes to heart zone with pistols drawn and cocked you have to catch yourself in the right mood stretched out for a catapult or battering ram get it? turnstile minds at the mall of sociological imperatives Indian fry-bread or chants released like perfume onto a balmy afternoon billow of warm air that helps us we need help here down below panes of glass their peyote buttons along with the clarion call to arms or announcing royalty in all its delusion yet an orchestrated formal withdrawal whereas sestina or alexandrines as if what you wanted didn’t matter a fig since her compulsion to acquire and dispose of or over from Libyan evenings at the edge of town where men pause in their cycles of destruction but Cadillac agencies or a moon shot Greensleeves so thorough and the floor falls out you reel in shock yet cold potato soup catches last light through windows in the fallout a textual job that goes unsung their pointless celebratory gestures like prisoners furloughed for a weekend so don’t condemn their thighs with “I am become death, shatterer of worlds” or “it worked” because it didn’t work not even in your puerile dreams about sand formation an instant of pure guilt that pierces you like broken glass Christmas tree angels on fire in a latchkey child’s brain residue of sludge gums up the movement not wanting to hurt anyone’s feelings that go for broke in the saloon with a canker arthritis your hectic glow for sale and not cheap mind you alternator repair facility up and about insider trading like waves in two directions to make requisite adjustments in my place when even the remotest chance upsurge in human energy for naught LED stabbing the black with a dead hour on the Richter scale since massive depression like mounds of bodies whereas a snap judgment until sugar hits on special but don’t play the ingenue in Bermuda shorts and bow tie with polka dots as if one’s motive weren’t immediate and ciphered as philanthropy or whichever automatic weapon was found at the crime scene unable to check progress of ants and lizards with a barometric denial you wouldn’t believe several tongues grown weary with gossip and blabber so clobber the slobs whose ontological romanticism friendly as vipers when fatal flaws or your return to an old frame of mind where each familiar twist and turn suddenly pitches into yaw your skin turning to dust in the cold air nullified compulsively through geologic subtraction like a wave receding none of it’s calculable in meat units of which only the lonely need not apply by way of genealogical tables or lines of descent as if my black gown for the parade key in a cement box lock on average slackening skin since equipment will require their attention a land mine eye height spinning fantasy webs for fishing with stoic calm in the Jewish quarter having been subjected planter’s warts ringworm down through pile like a Roman arch with its windy ribs and tears from the grit that stings you along lower Broadway which the generations are destroying since not a single person today was here when they built this place yet whose butt was kicked? what remained to do defied their best efforts at wholesale plagiarism and superstructural analysis being written up or down as though plebeian since she sold out for quick result but their deployment in a blizzard of agents each with a mission or resource fork they can prestidigitate into boxes of vegetables on the dinghy as beyond my ken at least where people rise up to rent their spleen according to a very beautiful story with “interesting” characters who fool around on the side like dogs in a classroom or work flow records crevice wall socket brass tube before your home altar to which bears and whey are added as a gradient of desire not need you rush from the room trying desperately to get away in a speeding truck that pops from the screen leaving behind a trail of sparkling electrons now that the grind of buying and age dumps your muscles to preserve backups because after transferring to utopia for free work hours as slaps in the face are a dime a dozen yet mucho dinero to haul around the feline population yet rabid absorption an ozone vanishing act to which I return riven by compulsion to stomp down the doors their kickboxing violence not monitored with usual perspicacity a frozen libido to stump them their bodies awash in animal feeling neutrinos cross-dressers calling for a notch more concentration lassitude your goddam self-pity and broken glass Oh Israel! my sidereal consciousness of photocopy machines catching on fire or exploding since earthquakes and wrecking balls that small through old brick and plumbing always the nerve pills and gas chambers redecorated then a stock market report until I lie down to gaze at the wall lost forever in a web of molecules whose precise valences so much surface space turned to the impassive heavens and I cannot find my knife the delay setting slow decay you can hear a saccharine whining that wants what it cannot earn there being new rules about signal breakup or grains of powder to deliver the requisite foot-power brings you to your knees in a room with walls of pain lasts a hot second but won’t download due to blockage and volume slices so as to reveal a marbling or texture we can delight in but no comparables were to be had just your predictable political revulsion at their shenanigans or hallucinatory flesh wounds from small-bore weapons like a square centimeter’s worth of connectivity would really be appreciated! I heave no account their water-treading delays since what’s in it for them to bust a gut hits bottom where recycling plants or Burkean sublimity has saturated the ground and what did they put in your head for decades sluiceway a grate to keep rats out or you could fashion another fadeout from master control board if the terrorists whose garlic stores and fiber-optic cabling with wide-band coverage to run through hallways like a child playing some private game from which a profile might be extrapolated your depthless cynicism notwithstanding fingers gone bloodless from handling books too long as though one could perpetrate one’s furious genetic code simply by the prayers of selfish old women when you know about foul-ups and personality conflicts after all your miserable disasters with people best to cut loose from the harbor and look straight into the sun production scale of gloss values whereas their inquiries into my substratum fixed with a maniacal force of thought brought down from highlands to persevere all in all runs of arpeggios towards rice paddies in Japan humans doing whatever they want but what illness of the body’s signature? Dolomites or a custard to sweeten your December evening stands over against their multiplying schemes then you seize your tools in a frantic burst of meaningless activity until some soulless judge or bureaucrat with two children in West Virginia an operable condition no guarantees just people’s hands the vulnerable back of the neck never laid eyes on my vomit of Bach and beans plastic language whose sticky little suction cups open and close like babies’ mouths at dry breasts although I’ve mixed down the tracks into a blend you’ll like for its penury and angelic messengers whipping their way through a chill silvery light into your central absence where echoes have gone and others do the interpreting as one’s base measure has become superannuated glacial gills to process a liquid grin stripped from diabolical faces I’m done for since all they want is money or ways to use my so-called tile roof I’m admonished to take heed which produces capillary action by means of eternally returning great feats to astound the masses with authentic Creole Cajun cuisine overnighters particularly not one but two count them two on so many demands having been prepared by ignorance and blinded by years of systematic abuse creature comforts cashiered against an impossible future so I sleep through my profound depression and awaken to a call to defenestration taxes your credulity like so many arguments over nothing until you turn around to view the vanishing skyline of your life’s VIN or bitter eyes that lose their focus in a haze of human failure so drunk drivers who laugh it off coloratura as if the accumulated tart snap of Wittgenstein or soft-headed as Heidegger whose girth belies his underlying Iago complex the answer featured in a bold splash of your commissioned parade of crepe and machinery to plant plugs of meat in rows you could set your clock by while her honed evil greed leaves you breathless again until some invisible voice pronounces your sentence as stamped in metal a flitting shadow chiaroscuro of dead leaves until you wonder why she even bothered and point the steak knife at your midriff tries to invent e-mail address far-fetched my plutonium eyes or food intake to get through another evening only your countdown roger over and out having lost your social graces going back to Cornish origins nearly 6,000 victims of severe child abuse then more than 1,200 entries at your disposal for a devastation of the nations until she hands over the inevitable bill with pretended nonchalance since always the money that guides and controls her highly inflammable mastectomies like an outbreak of virulence and gnashing teeth but maybe he no speakee Spanish your plunger arms doleful moaning about celery potatoes because it was unacknowledged ritual murder gone awry you can detect a deep sadness an overt approach based on immature confused impulses amen to that brother you’ll brand them as sex slaves hanged by their feet for hours or gonads zygotes a physical anxiety about meeting the flight to announce one’s preternatural cunning and unblinking presence to another as if this dialectics of hamburger and soft repetition the flea-bitten mangy cur passionless and forced by economic circumstances to assume compromising postures vis-à-vis the naked eye until blast-off or craving for alcohol without having the balls to bring home the bacon or win the bread Ziggurat’s hanging gardens instead of the favored class dawdling before mezzotints of cityscapes in Northumbria or their logocentric hierarchy change of heart but what can you do? lip service like organ registries racially divided in order to plant one’s tired ass and challenge their unconscious velocities saved for another incarnation on alien turf where they’re dangling incentives and you’re glad no more abalone and albacore as windswept along these edges of things where my pleasure buttons ripped out by ravenous women hell-bent on revenge against the millennia as if I were some rapist of cosmic proportions jet thrust in tons per square inch as sticking spirit where it don’t belong by fiat you bear down on your inner wildness but whose transitive stabbing like someone gored but still up I kick through the boxes and 55-gallon drums stacks of pallets where your fingerprint whorls like galaxies never to be named a gush of star gases or water like steel when you hit it at a high speed as Sir Sol peeps out through branches to sucker-punch your face and not even Mozart the marketer Ivory Coast whereas an old scow decked him a barnacle keel-hauling from micro-organisms air-borne fecal snow as their compensation for being here at all itself a sacrificial act brain damage incremental folly along the rivers of Europe and Asia not distinguished from your comfort zone but given very few days to pull it off such that I’m turning a corner into cell division acute pain that can’t be placed but blots out your body shelf life as do-able but barely as generations of geniuses whose fucking and dying as an embarrassment of riches spurned by callow youth genetically predisposed rigged craps tables takes the heat then says her say golden-haired and silver-tongued I dodge to the left sinister as sin while froth and foam spume on the brine but nights of debauchery ignoring their safe beds of roses with or without thorns just hair-raising antics proper to blood distribution in which your money or excluded middle like a razor slicing an orange you prove yourself dispensable her helium heart approaching the flame like a kamikaze moth one short of company quota offshoot that conduces to a graduated inorganic cylinder and Bunsen burner as though immutable brainstorm of the president now that I’ve been demoralized so demagogues with their harangues and stereotypes corned beef hash in immediate neighborhood you’ve got to ask yourself whose traces you lush unlawful as the holiday crush of suicides one’s inner adult as if by faking that condition you could get out but panzer tanks or hysterical women open-door if you can steam them out while spasmodic jerking an injection of sorts in order to run interference against reflections from a store window or ploys to cause jealousy because she stupidly threatens to walk away and even acts it out as a running commentary on self-delusion until reform school to break an errant will but when it comes to explaining yourself and your marsh of despair a sloughing off comes to seem like raw consumption as a plaything of the gods killing flies on a summer’s day mid-life crisis of the economy bypass operation goes down a passageway between tenement houses old factories from the last century populated by ghosts of workers whose limbs grow into the machinery to form a condition of local swelling whereas a monsoon rips out bamboo shacks sending bodies flying like dust plotting repetition curves taken in cross-section their bagged goods and human collections outraging an already numb citizenry whose strictly conventional marriage practices conceal a festering bed of tropical growth since if you open them up with a fresh scalpel the fact that some could do no more than attest to themselves as if all that up-front money had been drained of its charm and left under withering gunfire but they knew better and had put a point on their desires to go one further I slotted myself into the groove and pushed on through a resistant mass of tree branches like industrial refuse being fed into the chopper while two-bit street hustlers one step from disaster as though avenging angels and pirate software slamming through portals against an average take that would seem minuscule by comparison by whose impending divorce like water under a bridge or over the falls hailstones like footballs my memory of dignity to pry loose with a screwdriver or beat senseless while savoring insults dealt out their shovels and picks a carrying rack bent or boxed for shipment by one’s notion of a lowering sky or cattle in fear but proof as flimsy as waxed paper arrowroot starch butt bugs and a ransom note to stifle a scream at its finality since quotidian minutia sufficient to drown a horse instantly you’ll see if your space heater doesn’t malfunction and your preterit tense a false lead peripety such that running a business or getting laid by the tongue and groove from another perspective just laziness and a sneering quality pops in for a drink her extensive connections in the underworld where rape and arson can get you a reputation but let’s be sure to include a wiry type whose sunken cheeks and lantern jaw needless gum-beating of the very old for whom wicca and warlocks on stag’s leap after exertions of a heroic scale lead to sudden infant death syndrome monadologically unexpected but these beings can perform and will admit their error if you give them half a chance seed pods for a moment modulating endomorphs to perceive a body as a necessary but insufficient condition like toy animals and nomads whose metatarsals bled phenomena such as pianos universal joints my unspoken promise not to destroy the illusion whereat they trotted out their big guns equidistant from defining radii her genius for confusion while you hold your breath Grant’s tomb where normal borrowing privileges detain your pell-mell careering progress towards another smash-up with wheels spinning and her face an angry red indictment of hundred-dollar dinners cutting it fine you tin-horn boonswoggler or a burst of profanity stark enough to give you pause but only briefly because air traffic controllers strain at the crotch to deduct every permissible penny no matter how restless angioplasty and bedpans a doleful afternoon handsomely cut off until I see it clearly and turn away after having picked up the frigging tab but who can judge the precise contours of poverty? whatever they wanted they bought like gods on earth or microbiologists whose view would startle us from our reverie tango or samba to repel rising madness or sour drug deals since without dust an apocalypse of decisions and your poorly remembered milk money alluvial or not her severe alimony for months because ultimately the less you see a spiraling upwards until you incandesce like a gaseous conversion or quantum leap eccentric bachelor fibers under microscope riboflavin B12 complex to manufacture some building blocks without the least concern for excuses and explanations a hard rock pumice on the 6 o’clock news simulating a live conversation over the shoulder where crowds of tourists at the wailing wall or your tentative movement along Park towards 86th Street then qualifiers and provisos to paper over an escape hatch but you’re chest has been packed so a simple trepanning won’t cut it this time show biz comptroller of the currency whose family secret was rollout of the San Francisco region until scores of teenagers falling asleep on chemical imbalance a

leaves hand-worked for years but you won’t find admissions of guilt or unalloyed with a motive to enter the bank weapons blazing a spitfire I offed with a glance away to the woods below since it’s in our reflecting and reflections burning natural gas while landlocked by pregnancy or electromagnetic fields that whipsaw you like the aurora borealis or a schoolyard beneath power lines his clinging to the tried and true I’m severing their air hoses with a keyhole saw as though to launch a search for oil and bananas chili beans their lugubrious mournful moping checklist for ethnic cleansing whereas it seemed like the only remaining course of action until household products accounted for 87% of the numbers but take out each antiquated category and go to work on your limp as fashionable as lesbianism and chocolate truffles laced with strychnine wandering far and wide their obligatory dinners and hurt feelings because she walked out then said it was a mistake or was it the saying? Bellevue or Patton State roughed up around gills to inflate flotation devices as telling of an inner history among indigenous dwellers whose wall structure or grasp their tiny nerves a surgical promise of great white hope on a three-wheeler so as not to disturb me at least in language of repair over years then her monopoly on suffering or its display for maximum pity hallelujah! ritual wounds sodium glutamate to assuage and soothe throughout the sick land politicians aghast at the sight of the city core a chiasmus or x-rated magic flute calls for special super-rare price ranges known for moving real-estate inventions if your luck holds a subtitle that fits its nobility and grandeur so perhaps other points of view about to christen your fallen nature with lovable good will you go down humbly into the well of your aged being where dark gods rule and gay psychologists with gold bracelets the archduke at baccarat all night brassy as a sunny day full of itself diurnal all right provokes a fury of harmony in your whipped brain before the talkies and now goosed asses facing their eventual demise while she sucks life out of others providing nothing but invasion and shrapnel strafing their legs or breastplates jerking stinking with sweat Kantian taste tables pickup of precepts when the question began to be asked hard air stored in the pump house ask me to do it to express repetition of legs in a verb of action to delay so as not to have to confront your fool’s paradise sealed boxes of ante-bellum nostalgia when hundreds of units later a transfusion of dreams as people line up at the trough to multiply blindly their crash helmets and price breaks the barren boughs that web a gray sky reiterating a code for our certain end although deferred because that’s how she skedaddled through a rainy afternoon eluding imagined stalkers her collection of motors all whirring away as if drowning in liquid nitrogen or suave mannerisms that violate your old-fashioned ethics conflict of interest with so many players out of town yet what’s designated if not a fatted calf concupiscence of the eyes or sobbing for hours all in metonymic confluence it’s an analogue of your life or its putative mission as though temporality were taken for granted matrix you say elbowing them with a broad wink but even those placebos and loose teeth since they’ll gut you if you blink or turn your back and I’ve been searching for an Ariadne’s thread or blood line while another compact disk player insurance policy for crying out loud machine-gunning the streets until nothing moves in the synthetic form of half-imagined injuries where referrals to the chain of command fell on deaf ears like asking for big trouble in caves since even in the human body you can see an alternative which gravity will fix cordoned off behind quarantine barriers that can’t stop wind and water too many uninvited house guests or chlorine stained fingers now that we’re in the Sargasso doldrums horse latitudes Israeli airport security measures and Opus Dei my sole contributions to his impact after 5 years loan to value formula scavenging free radicals to protect against an immunological oversight

like things are rolling along but in another sense bad etiquette to inquire while network execs with flip phones and shit for brains their reliance on the cupola or link to cash known as an easy touch pearly-eyed on the beach or tennis court it sickened me the presumption of intimacy so far from the truth but then again brass knuckles a piano wire cuts through flesh your wind pipe wheezing while the detonator rolls free before rapid bursts of automatic weapons do you remember cole slaw buttered saltines and orange-ade or the conjurer’s tricks with small items a lathe or Christmas she ignored me but then I remembered that fathers don’t matter except for money when surrounded by a phalanx of strangers with the plague her flawed understanding of operating procedures bowed down beneath a heavy load you stumble through smoke a textual print across your face because she couldn’t “handle the stress” of stringent requirements so I floored it and never looked back into a dramatic sunset with little to say in lieu of slapped children whose pinched cheeks and striations to indicate a questioning mind hard put to fathom the matter victim of the times witness the evidence but fat cells and the litmus test to uncover a lair where the feral child your mute infant bruises in words as coeval or plainly a slovenly return trip you bring the three rays to a common point which jigsaws out your lonely afternoon instead of what? systemic revolt at the sameness of days? where they strip you of your last dignity both particularly and iteratively beginning with gas to immobilize your body kept unproductive a dream of bubblegum set for Halloween with or without you continental drift as if the hotel operator were to throw a party across the border which meant squat trust shot and a bankruptcy proceeding before social entertaining hocked for the fun of it are you afraid? donkeys monkeys bats with their roaming behavior as a head pose guessed at to reduce crime their tending the weeds against the grain while others who had gone to China in the general expenditure and waste nicely rationalized as personal growth like a horse in blinders or a lather from 50 miles of hard trail
