Order #0404
the horizon line of smoking trees has darvocet in it
cuttings for transplant will bear egg resemblance
and eons from now the children will thank us
with skin kicks and the now accepted sex practice
of numbing a stranger at the footnotes
thought it was a life of pure desperado
Alcoa fixed all that like the sky
puckering the bowl the marbles repel
rechristening her stinky what was it
about Barbara Bain? She slept with Cinnamon
in the mouth of a trundle before the fog
your congressperson’s apologia curdles milk
this is not a test of the rag or bottle or fossil product
it speaks to the eternal via one of those drive-in screams
elemental as the burst lodestone that commands men
with a hold on the real man in the droplet
sixty brushes per hair is her secret and asterisks
on the Admiral Benbow situation room knob
the word we is a form of rank disunity
proffered to the bugs who inherit us
your ligature is what makes you clattery minced
as meat as big a brute as the bear of your tribal dreams
breadfruit and worsted to cover your finite ball collection
we’ve overstayed our welcome
with a whoop and a flooding aura
if you flip out now you’ll lose your plaque
coke cans for the king of all antennae
let’s name him Zeus
put him on a leash
see if a cute one looks
