Andy Normal (1998)

    somehow
sparse saturation
soft aspects of elbow and sole
principles orbit
in partisan parallels
legal pattern graces us
to obtain those glacial goods
    exclusive
i long to the rear realm of facial expressions
emerald green eyes
with a tinge of system
solemnly radiate
cathartic uniformity
acid disown
    utterly, merely, amd entirely
silos and salaries
panic contorts itself into wax
mild sun rains
protean nausea
with standard sublimation
pilot symptoms misamount quietly
    comorbid
or insufficient failure to thrive
the sound of organ
the smell of lilac
in lush cascade quarantine
nun tan
prospects malinger
    elseone


(inverses of separation)

    wet look
of your red sneakers
it compels and asserts
the verses of separation
etched in ornate arabic script
wool knickers appetize
public alkaloids
    distinct
behind white picket fences
willow and stew
one cable-fitter sits fumbling with a crayon
and sketches a virulent algorithm
all spiced with fugue and coriander
how to were
    post-positive
while on secular loan
rampant nadir is on the loose
the flexible impact is but a cosmetic theme
a neutral eloquence
otherwise trademark sequels
in vogue and on parole
    district
bouncy as ever
she plays with her batteries
and does gymnastics
lightly lichened tremblings
like an emotional sphincter
your tender affection holds me tight
    responsive


                        rose-flame-fuel

the thought of you
                        descends on me
                                                 like afternoon nap
in the cool green breeze
                        the thought of you
                                                  a rose-flame-fuel

                        it burns with red delight
                                                 the thought of you


vodka sizzles
through

cubes of ice, cubes of ethics
spacetimeself emulsions
tempted into the compliant hype of the grind
by their triple imperative to be spent
with samizdat consistence

entropy manoeuvers carefully among inhibitioninsts

swinging around on the circle
     of thin pueblo air
     and the thick fragrance of saunas
sumptuous curves of laxity
undignify my deviance

only the some
empire of green


untitled (for administrative purposes)

with heuristic competence
they maintain their
with chloric pertinence
        floating through docile canyons
they maintain
against the smell of the earth
against the smell of cellars
their therapeutic lists

        bird chirps etc
        lovers on the bench
        hobos in the grass
        dogs in the pond.

teutonic love
receptive in strategy
proclaims
against buildings with peeling plaster-works
and enduring cats in their windows
proclaims reasonable parasites
to perform the steps of mnemonic dance

adroit gag in the mouth
the deep japanese massage of skipped heartbeats
from fuel-cell through herding to eavesdrop
poses and flirts
boycott and allergy
knife stands in the salt



slow sleep
drifts on like camouflage

knee-deep in dewy moss
such diverse personalities seek their
statistical metaphores
i, for one, wouldn't mind
living between the present and the future

with the strangely-angular movements of a butterfly

neurotic cartoon characters
and industrial-sized
bathe in the sea of postauratic life-choices
of the subproletariat
we are each others' ultras and contras

wooden sucker in the mouth
we hurry on slowly


lewd lethargy
oozes
from the cracks of sun-bleached
facades
small villages of the mind
their winding streets
trace
maya motifs

is it quicksand 
in the veins?
pullinf you under from inside
like myriad convoluted whirlpools?
or has some
muscle wound around
your nerves
ready to flex itself?

cedars, cypress
invite libations
in greenly translucent cups
necks and
pvc-pipes stiffen
under
this high-octane
shaman dance of imagination

tattooed
commercial symbols of our age
slow but uncertain
changes filter 
through
the axiom of choice
andy normal
my rasta is getting good in the back


revision is timely

this client, that host
someone whose temples gestate under coldsweat
revision of approach
tickles him
and where from the pressure?

we stand in front of
undifferentiated
monochrome colorfields
like persuasive
little nuclear families

little did he know
the question
which stick to your skin and leave
the bittersweet taste of sperm
in your mouth

for future reference
we'll insinuate
that
life is bombastic
and gently place is into the strobe light

phlegmatic 
darkness germinates in the corner of his room 
with amphobian rhythm
aspiratoin un-
glamorously squat in his head

lost in the supple
flow chart for superlatives
we appropriate
the color and texture of curry
but have a glass of plain warm water first

well, adults these sort of things


drama writes life
meanwhile mediocrity stands alert
waiting for its moment to join
then thunder
hurls from the sky
thunder of fatal pseudoproblems
our protagonists roam tentatively
with promiscuous incompetence
and incompetent promiscuity
until generous fashion philosophies invade the stage
thus the lines increment
thus we transmute ourselves
on end


assorted two-liners:

like tiny flowers, so grows my anguish,
fragile white petals in a sea of green

cormorans sit on a half-sunken canoe
their vernacular consensus would do for me

the cold light of welding sparks,
my spirit rises with the cool scent of ozone

atomic vassal chambers,
the emergency entrance locks behind you

the paper crumbles between my fingers
pictures of women on patinated pages
subversive nostalgia

mismatch surfaces lazily
like puddles in autumn drizzle

i'm searching for you,
where are you lovely disincentives?

islands of lakes dot the valley,
they do it well

sunbeams reflected on a blue bottle,
there flickers my mood


sugar & summer

eyes: green
hair: red
so begins the list
and i also want her wet
i want my girls bathed in muscatel spa
their good american bodies

sugar & summer i want
even if my wishes are blunt

others can keep the autumn colors
they can have the zesty spring
as long as i can have the summer heat
and let them also keep their refined tastes
i want only sugar to sweeten my days

sugar & summer i crave
the beauty of pure white jade

lacquer-
   shiney heat
ginger-
   spicy sweet

sugar & summer i need
sweet sweetness and hot heat
the graceful anarchy of indulgence


song of sand

sometimes the shock sets in slowly.
or it is a soft and numb and permanent state of shock
a dense space
impeding the movements of your limbs
a weightless solid substance
aether, or phlogiston
burning up the proportions of the loss

the song of sand
playing on your eardrums
it leaves microgrooves

you might complain of insufficient anxiety
and consume your black food
waiting for a cursive cramp to grab your arm

the dark art of beer carving
nature is omnivolent
should you offer or expect condolences?

you'll meet the same stranger every day from now


sonnetta

a long-held deep tremolo
it climbs up the walls like a mozarabic pattern
and thaws the dawn
naples
or a cold yellow knife
with the agility of a greyhound derby
but it cuts slowly as if slicing eggwhite
so i stand 
before the stripped walls of a house under renovation
the strange sensuality of its exposed plywood panels


incidentally

incidentally,
it is also known
that decade derives from decadence

incidentally,
one can also observe how
reality eventuates itself into our lives

rimbaud in africa
theory of everything
commercials for funeral homes

behind municipal doors
crossdressing experts discuss
the advantages of buddhist economics

incidentally,
some believe in the power of topology
i'm one of them

yonder one friend to another talks
here tendon-brained mickey mouse stalks
non-practicing aristocrats

incidentally,
we are immortal, so far


        alchemy

 a man of all seasons
 a man of independent means
 albeit
 living in that most intangible world
 of words

 contrasts in his pleasures
 homogeneity in his disinterest
 lusciously-molded walking-estrogen walking in front of him
 - unaware of the alchemy of it all
 oblivious to the change of terrain
 as he pushes around snippets of his sensory universe
 as he tinkers away absent-mindedly
 - unaware of the alchemy of it all

 and he carefully documents a random few of his moves


the tadpole and the wrench

a surf
of the unproductive sort
washes up on our shore
doctrinal in nature
give me only the details, only the banal details
power-everything

efficiency haunts the grounds
i cruise
and i cruise
overwhelmed by olfactory memories
of death and love
moreover

cushions
dampen the self-reference
shrouded in similarities
preventive in nature
subnatural phenomena occurs
"we are what we pretend to be"


mint etude

incidental transition
looms large
looms above
for tomorrow to arrive
entangled from boredom-busy schedules
counterfeit bluffs
hang from between undefined lips
many of us are searching for the appropriate cliche
the topology of it all
shrouded in myth and foliage
lake consequence
unstirred
somewhere else
an old brick mint prints zero dollar bills


juniper glory

juniper glory
ever so clear

yet
how difficult it is to want something
i feel the enzymes move inside me with misease
how do i aspire?

grape-fat drips onto my lips from somewhere
my esophagus gives off timid convulsions
visions of ravens sucking on a greasy chin

my body contains me
like buckets hold water heavy with dissolved wax
i don't know how and what to want
my tongue runs over the smooth surface of someone's white teeth
soft flesh against hard enamel
my own they are
yet

cold air stands in the room motionless
only juniper glory grows
spreading like a rambler rose
black boom love box
the parquet stares back at you
and i only write by default

out of over
a number to contemplate
too much of a strain to aspire
berries and nosegays pour forth
in a nocturnal cascade

i'm still searching for my label


            typically

the tension action eager covered mind
next put theory what exceptional what
such minds division learning general
absurd youth source version attempt form
publicity discipline convert union

number radically produced social terms
notion structure items circuit aimless
commodity compensation argument facts
defined enlaged excluded anyone place
routines of answer state predominance

appetite adventure ease demand
without before shadow fantasy mark
typically forth with agent conditions
passing is young for neither another
regardless no all not yet coincide function
