silence prevails
where the bugs go
common sense
flees a dying breed
kitchen slipper
racing down the
staircase on your toe
tendons flexed
trying to absorb
gatorade & pudding
it’s a school night
titles
by titles
need names for
the thing
titles

say titles
when we say
name things
resonance of emotion
tranquil bonus
luxury symptoms we

pick pocket arrival
evolve not in
stages but
pieces
one piece
of many
fragment
pieces
need
more pieces
to progress
forward
members
that are
not related
hold it
against atoms
photon shadow
essential demands
sequels of the odyssey and slaughterhouse
completed &
mastered
extensive copies
available
I recreate shape
eager when
I am tempted
it becomes
personal
about me
and mine
not
you
not
you
not yours
it’s mine
not
ours but
mine
it’s
mine
crawl through
little windows
they are
stacked
stacked across
electronic tempo
&
automated chorus
melancholy singing
singing doesn’t
happen anymore

myelin sheath
beneath the
absences &
changing
seats feeding
my paranoia

party
on my balcony
ruminating dreams
spherical cognition
again
the faucet
does not turn off
at my funeral
less scared if
I don’t wear glasses
at my funeral
balance
genuine ignorance
at my funeral
