The First Word Found
Behind Each Buckle
Belt that one out at
breakneck, why don’t
you? We’re already
all the way back to
2006, and things are
generally fine (I rem
ember wine and fine
dining, Valentine’s and
rolls of twine). Papaw, a
numismatist, got us already
worn-looking leather belts
apiece, each with its own
shimmering bicentennial
$ coin. “Heads, you win ..read more

Unorthodox Plop
It was the end of another
era. I had broken my
reading glasses. This
happened, I want to
say often? But it
hasn’t been often
that I’ve afforded
such luxuries. I
could add these
days but fail to
comprehend
at the moment
how to succinctly
discern them from
any other. With any
distinction. Although to
begin, I could squeal how
once upon a time that might’ve
been the glitter that defined. I
squinch my eyes into a steep scarp
trying to make something out of this.
But slap the alarm, who am I kidding?
Unlike the gorgeous sky, were it not so
damned dark, I’m downright indisting ..read more

Great Form, Croc
Ask for information
regarding. Four
years ago, October.
Follow up with
which one?
The dead one,
probably.
Regrettably.
You will
never know.
And when the man
says he has no
regrets whatsoever,
you’d better believe him ..read more

A Fuzzier Plane of Existence
I exist
on a
fuzzier
plane,
in general,
I’d say.
But if we
were to talk
grossest
area of fuzziness,
then we might
have to start
again
from scratch ..read more

Botched Surgical Email
I dug out an email
with the subject
“Dir. Gen. Surgery Division.”
The next thing you know,
it appears that I’m
quoting Emily Dickinson.
The bottom two-thirds
of the torn out full-sized
originally spiral-bound sheet
is some sort of attempt at
rejiggering somebody’s
family tree or,
and this regrettably
is much more likely,
a company’s organizational chart ..read more

Today’s Terror
Today’s terror
is too much food.
That is my
favorite
terror. I
don’t usually
like terror but
this is one
terror
that
I
can
get behind ..read more

2 Days
3 conversations about
gingers. No call to
Ginger, but I should
call her later today,
say hi to her tomorrow.
Don’t put off to tomorrow
what can be done today,
is that the way the saying
crumbled? Kevin says it’s
the year of a particular
dragon, the Wood Dragon.
I insist I’ve taken a step back
from that nonsense, but now
am curious. He says it’s going
to be an entrepreneurial year.
I write two extra lines in hopes ..read more

Keep In Mind
And with breakneck
speed, examine for
the purposes of hair
cleanliness, diagram
of faction. Questions
of what is happening
on the 1st of September.
No, send 1st to Steph
anie? Partiality for fe
male/gay. Particularly?
Questions about what’s
haps. Happening. Radar:
broad-based magazines.
Also, think about Naropa ..read more

People That Grow Up, Though
I’d like to have a very serious
engagement with several of
them to see what they think
this means so I can determine
whether or not I have achieved
such an accomplishment (if an
accomplishment such a thing
is), and how they got there
and maybe see if they think
I have made progress in such
matters. Today I worked on
filling out disability forms. I
do not want to be on disability
but try to remain proactive as
I’ve tried like mad to get a job
for how many years now and
still do not have one. This is
not a sonnet unless one wants
to be snooty or perhaps more
