maybe it was utah

We gave up the cover
Of mud and anonymity
Rebirth into the ether
Maybe it was wrong

We took our soles off
Hung them on the radiator
Stole a few eukaryotes
Maybe that was rash

We left the brooding solace
Breathed the nitrous solution
Blocked our mouths with nylon
Maybe times were hard

We crashed and were rebuilt
Egos dead in the desert
Simple things we couldn't grasp
Maybe it was Utah

this poem has been vaporized

Thx

a memorial

i was just thinking

remember the time
that we were shopping
at fashion bug and
we were assaulted
by mammals

remember the time
our faces came off in the
snow and we wept
until we realized we were
totally stepping all over
our faces

remember the time
you were high above planet
earth and nothing seemed
to matter but the sweet-ass
breeze through your
frosted mane

neither do i
sorry

the aesthetic aegis

and now they're
opening an ikea
in lone tree,
the golden sky opened wide
and vomited a soup
of hazy light upon
the good citizens
and everyone was bathed
in soft glowing
and understanding
and peals of laughter
rang out from under
the straight trees
straight lines
DIY
AOR
LOL

and of course, everything was
A-OK

borrow your face (remix)

shaded hairman slips into
burning bookstore
at corner of hoover and
lucket

a mass of red pulp and
two dry white sockets

no we told him we
are all out of the secret
we are also all out
of oscar wao
can we recommend
a face

shaded hairman in the coat
of solace takes the skin
off the dust jacket
one doppio to go

and its off to the races

later that year we
all became astronauts
and were crushed in the
event horizon

bucket of lymph

hey man
hey

hairy nodes at the gate of lucubus
droplets of fear
on the countenances of the peoples
of the northern realm
just before
the wordless yawning night

and yea, did lohan
descend on sweaty shafts of
carnescence

that's not a word
fuck you pal

everywhere
look at them go
look at them stretch
eating your feelings
light ethical workouts
stereoisomers
early summer insurgence
screwed by the infidels
tanks on your shoulders
shades on your tanks
moss in the shade
moss growing off your side chain
chains everywhere
look what happened
now the sky is disgusting
and mom is a gargoyle
mycorrhizal union
above ground
and cavities filled with meat
clubfoot summer rain
and luscious burnt locks
everywhere
do you understand now
what was is
and how

carbon elegy

Whether we can see
Immunology
Macular degenerate
Close your flaps
Masticate
Expatriate

In the dying throngs
Cursed sing-alongs
Jumping out of porcelain throats
Close your eyes
Sinking boats
Protein coats

Squeezed into a box
Unprotected locks
Cascading from your guileless face
As time elapses
Things take place
Carapace

The sky is rent to dust
The lovers choke on lust
Crucial insect crawls to light
And Nixon laughs
Endless night
Anthracite

flying is believing

arms outstretched
in the corn field
tongue lolling for god

achieve lift-off
dreams swell, explode
face becomes gold

soar through air
clouds of salt and
symphonic clatter

you are success
you own the night
women, wine, song

anyone can fly
all you have to do
is just believe

and have real wings

dwarfed by wreckage

electric marrow
small man
large wheels

caleb said i didn't have to go
to the acid shop
not with these arms
who has arms

slowly we became the
couch
in c sharp major

static engulfs arms
impossible reaction
small couch
acid bone

tiny animated doorstops
belch forth a stream
of binary destiny
in the shadow of
great halogens

stuff party
let's take place
wrecked and leaning
small

wrecked by dwarves

in the morning
we were beset
on all sides
by dwarves

beignets thrown
here and there
lattes spilt and the
curtains

were torn
light seared the
sectional and on the
television, there
was a talking
lion rising from
a pillar of guilt

you don't have to
wonder why this
keeps happening
but maybe

maybe you do

brutal mac

difficult mac
immeasurably cheesy
incalculably hard
six punishing packets
of culinary brutality
taste the attack
taste the massacre
of your pummeled
throat
brutal mac
the time has come
it's dead fucking serious

ask for it by name
brutal mac

baked goods fiasco

and lo
sterling silver donuts
in the aging sun

laughing bowlers,
whale charnel; renters
in a house of fractions

the mild salve of
hypocrisy
both bracing for the best

nothing delicious can stay
not least of all
the sparkling donut
the currency of
dreams

the year of utterly plain and undistinguished thinking

weed out time

beige thoughts
spread thin on a
dry cracker
as ghosts of good ideas
linger in the
drywall

step up 2
the streets
only with science
not awesome
dancing

it's weed out
time
let the panic
pandemic

begin

simon tuka-waku (reprise)

His light
Filters through
The milk
Of fortitude

Dragons
On high
Playing backgammon
Laughing
Thinking
Boiling

Lead us to sea
Simon
Take our hand
Collective
Hand
Or plural
Hands
Whatever you
Feel like

The time is now
The now is here
Some can't wait
To die

special topics in calamity physics 2: dead by dawn

spooky action
at a distance

men wearing lead
drilling holes
through
spacetime

horrific nightmare creatures
at k-mart
loitering in the back
by the bicycles
and camping gear

father scolds
genius daughter
and sigma signs
fall out of the
ether

einstein looms
visage swathed in fear
yogurt bubbles
with fear
and active cultures
that also
fear

hot author politics
space beyond words
nanobots and
vinyasa flow

spooky

In Real Life


this is what happens

whimsical fun and smiling cats

Everything is great
Cats are flying around
People smile and say,
I like you
And there's a ferris wheel
For all the kids
And money and free snacks
And Jesus Christ
Shooting hoops at the YMCA
With a cadre of paralyzed children
That are now able to stand
And the air is filled with song and
Everyone is happy
Fun
Smiles
