“The Candid Pantomime”
In enacting its duty, The net in form unveils what is the hidden mystery, A life processional too rapacious of the senses To stand a battle of reason, A snail to the turgid nebula Wedged in the waxing figure Of a crying ghost.
“What I Saw When I Decided to Skip the Book Discussion”
I stroll down to the park, getting ready to roll a cigarette. There’s a girl on a run, stretching by the river. She senses me coming up, senses some people around her, and then goes full force into her lunge, knowing balance only in the moment’s extremes. With a slight smile, I glide past a […]
“Continuous Lethal Explosions”
By the time you see another Brothel poster, By the time you hear Another joke of hopeless nothing, You will realize . By the time they just Stare, and stare, That the logic was really a dead end Like . At the day’s decline You are just cattle too, Given “freedom” In exchange for . […]

Sometimes I feel like I’m on an assembly line — I don’t have to tell you. You see the race in mad drifts Of . Temporary assemblage, People panic coated and This . Is why They . Band together, to numb The ache of quicksand.
“Next Entrance Ramp”
Eventually, the question has to come up, Be posed: is the world within we live, righteous? A man is righteous, I think, . If he’s able to be patient with his fellow, And coax from there all the goodness, End a person’s pain. . And in this pain’s exodus There is the human connection Like […]
