We  see

 pupa, cocoons 

and  baby   carriages   We 

see  oxygen being  inhaled  N' 

carbon  exhaled   We see  the mighty

 exchange    We see  Dollar bills  and 

the Tao We see Brother Jones on

 the  trading  floor  Trading 

expectations-

His rattle 

away

 

 

What iz the sound

Of love me

Love me not

When the last Petal has fallen

 

 

......Ask them why they thought her so-unstrung

so az not to be able to handle her grieve?

 

 

I need - U - here

So I can rap- U

Up in my arms

deeply squeeze - U

 

 

 

 

What do you know about my spirit

.....what whipping it can take or can’t

Why do you whisper about the size of my balls?

 

 
 

&Viola!!!

U have

Eccentric modems

Witty words

Computer magistry

At your fingertips

You have genius

You have a resemblance for facets

A field for facts

Sparkling stones

A fax

A phone call

to God

 

 

Woman/child

u are a

gartered & thonged

seven year old smile

smiling back into the camera

wizdomed

beyond your years

When  you ever a child?

 

 

My heart goes out to her

...should she ever learn

the truth

the look in her eyes

at that moment

would be..........

 

 

Televisionworthy

 

 

We would be like masses

Traveling at unheard of speeds

Would be like lava

Succinct

We would be in love

& when cooled

we could be cups n’ craters

to hold tears & mountains

to dive deep down them in

 

 

The straight jackets of time

Descend upon me

You cannot

You cannot

Do this and that

& The music becomes a little tamer

A little less loud

The language becomes a little less lurid

A little more economical

& The baby bird falls from it’s nest

And becomes crushed under the weight

Of not being able to fly

 

 

If given the chance

would you push her off that thin ledge

between real & the not?

 

 

If my scent drips over the fence

& Falls into your bed

Will you come?

j

 

I am drawn into your centuries

Into your liar

Into your lionz eyes

 

 

You think I am your little pot washer

Your sex pot

You think I am your maid

 

You think wrong

 

 

I will climb for az long az I can

I will climb az high az any won can go

I will climb from my heart

I will climb from my mind

& then let go

 

 

I  feel my esteems

Like an unnamed flavor

I  feel  an over  and around 

savoring of the senses

I feel the revolutions of my teeth Folding

red  reason  into buttered thyme

& Chaos into leaves of clarity

 

 

Can their be a legitimate falling

 a slur of sound

A lapse of reason

Without  withdrawal

Without  running away

 

 

My bamb

My baby lamb

What was life like before us...

 

 

Elite wanderer of words

Sweet breath of poets

Pleeze sing for me sonnets

Not of another age

but ov now

I am so intuned

To the microphones of implies sound

I feel I am so suddenly here 

On the verge 

of magnificence

 

 

I know that little know

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Sniffing the air

Searching for a stop……

Having that somethings wrong feeling

That kind of real paranoia

You try to dismiss

Az silly……

Don't

 

 

...The hook to my throat

let's me know

there is no love lost

 

 

If only

 I could be standing

a notepad away from an inspiration

/swim in that deep dark place

that respires one to breath heavier

/Where ever succession folds you

into deeper whorls /into the words/ of mystery

 

 

Computer condensation/Ball bearings/Falls into command/With rip tares/Bruised vocabularies/Trying to get out faster formulas/Of why it all goes in trickle file/Toward the sea/Off yellow page Gibran’s/& the wisdom masters disappear/With a gust completely deleting /Themselves into thin air/Crunching into asphalt ashes /& coke dust perversions/of what it is to be alive/

 

 

Keep your lauphodils about you lass

Keep yourself wrought iron strong

for the moor important stroll through the wood

Make your foundations without holes

yr’ footings without sound

yr’ face a fortress

 

Silence

stills the soul

& searches for havens in history

add 2 and 2 and deduces

 the lightswitch is better left.......

& you cannot save the course

or carry the wind to it’s momma

but you can carry a note into

the night& witness my

musical box sound for itself.

 

Imagine

your mares rearing

you awake

your haunches flanked

with rough hands

 

 

 

How noble am I I to keep 

My sins to myself.

I talk of stone throwers as I am casting stone

 

 

I knew her when

babed to my thigh

She was a knee

higher than a

leg hopper

When she was a baby concept

Akin to thought

New

I knew her no bigger

than the concept
