Captive Audience

Lately, I’m leaning into the whole idea
Of reshattering the glass
Of a company attack
But then I’m increasingly
Leaning toward the ceiling
Of a paucity of feeling
Of tearing to the dry cleaning
No savoring nor seething
Alack, it’s threatening to stab
At the center of my back
Lately, I’m reeling from what my eyes are seeing
There’s no strongman at the helm
No one to lay your burden down
So go on stealing away to country living
One noisy trip around a wheel
Back to a script for how to feel
So go on fiending for personal completing
No penance is a pawn nor pass
You all but went and menaced us
Frankly, I’m freaking at the corrosion of meaning
A bedlam of calculuses with no architecture underlying
And they’re gorily colliding
I was straining for connection
But I’m unelected, so I’ll cease trying
And throw my hands up high
This is the wage was up and given up
I’ll hold my purse out grudgingly

Jacket's Creed

Party to the planning of Mach II, III, G to Z,
I was thrown into disharmony
A chilled-bone snap
The throttling realization friends could not exist
Presented the planet’s smallest violin
Rendered see-through
(((Skim off the top
Of the till)))
Scene time is the lean time
At the same time
It’s a scream
Planck time is the best time
Like the last time
It’s obscene
Then everything was normal but I was hung by inertia
The craven need to turn the faucet off
Bull, china shop
So I ascertained dimensions and what is, what’s not
There’s no box limitless, unquantifiable
No dish unhinged the jaw
Scene time is the lean time
At the same time
It’s a scream
Planck time is the best time
Like the last time
It’s obscene

Drab Vocabulary

I position myself as a student
I disconnect curriculums
Claimed by the dogs
Our backs to the wall
Nobody had them
Flying on fumes, I’m fluent in strange old languages long lapsed
Do the collapse
All you didactic debt collectors
Take the biggest words you can say
Throw most of them away
Then spend them as you may with no loose change
And while the hacks all scrounge and scrape
In this economy
You’ll do great
I met the motorcycle mama of Maya
She read me like a file
I’m drained of my guile
I’m an advantageous star
I can hear them sound the refrain
About how you’re doing great
Compared to ancient history
And maybe when they all drift to off sleep
Down in Gethsemane
You’ll do great
Great
Great!

Arc of the Arrow

I’m cashed
Put me out to pasture
A last lump sum to spare
Is rescinded
The flare has flamed out
If not for me, what have you got?
I move so quick that I skid out
How does a man
Pin a thing down?
I’m blinded by expertise
I don’t know what I believe
I’m your fall guy
I’m your attack dog
Realize and heed, assign the essence of this mire
Submit your flawless offering to the blackest blades of accidental fire
One of these days
The library will lend me out
I’m blinded by expertise
I don’t know what I believe
I’m trusting God’s calculations
Realize and heed, assign the essence of this mire
Submit your comment envelope to the catacombs of accidental fire
It burns the same as the competition’s distant and dispassionate outliers
You’ll only taste the taste of failure if you stop trying altogether

Swine Among the Relics

Tepid layers
Playing players
It’s hard to understand beyond my shoes
Cry, soothsayer
Crass inflamer
Readymade Menassahs sing the blues
Cold, corporate and clean
Elucidate me
Too slow, there they all go
The palisades are shone blades for a dandy like me
Reliquary swine
With articulating spines
Sentenced layman
Reeducation
It’s hard to understand why I can’t choose
Unrelations with teeth
Are picking on me
Too slow, there you all go
Why won't Lord Fauntleroy rent his own pad?
Those reliquary swine
With articulating spines
Reliquary swine
