this is the continuation of the earth
this room here is the starlit nightery
ripe for the moon
earth is bursting with eggs
one rice for the oil derry oil
to program better peas
earth is a long way from earth

I gave mrs fields my recipes, advised ann landers
I later served in the army under colonel sanders
I went to junior high with dr sholls, and then
I graduated rice university with uncle ben
I also dated Julia child
until things got too wild
she said she was on a mission
and I had to get outa the kitchen
in my opera debut I played palyacho
I knew all the greats and the not so
many more memories to mention
thank you for your kind attention
….and that’s the truth!
Poems
1.
I sit alone in a room
Wondering if it’s me or
Whether there’s something more
Going on.
Is he thinking about me?
Am I going crazy?
Is my heart coming to conclusions premature?
2.
I summon the courage
To text him and tell him how I feel.
It goes much better than expected,
He actually likes me,
Apparently as much as I like him.
I feel boundless joy about
What’s to come.
Poems
Atrocious verse of silence
and toad of nothingness
atrocious page where the wind is silent
territory isolated from melancholy
treasures of insomnia and the plain of silence
over which the rain and words fails
and the wind destroys everything except the word
-Leopoldo Maria Panero
Radia
My heart is elsewhere camouflaged by the
poetic phantom power
church of clarity eminence front
cardinal lamentation dwell
melancholy body sacrilege
tattoo highway insomnia punk equinox
superhorse transfiguration tesseract
deacon anarchy untitled child
and the night ocean I neglected to mention

A rat mist nominee
shadow the gym pluck;
the octopus of pot
fumigate the deer berry –
scotch winch salute;
hurdle the weep!
we will have a texture party for the hands
the hammer of the dollar sign to trick one dusty
you sled like a green bean (the burger bear)
lashing the science for the completed beast
the face was a sheet from a coloring book
scoot was the flat worst of the gamma damn
