Rocks are a library of history .
Microfossils in fissures,
Bubbles of bacteria :
Protozoans that came
Before the Cambrian .
Eukaryotic hammer of the gods
Cracking the carbon floodgate,
But in the record :
Death is no wider than a knife edge .

Testes
Beans in a bag,
They constrict and they sag ;
Walk, and they wag .

Wrong, All the Time
The wrong thinker tinkers,
Wheel out of round . Twisting spokes
To straddle fences, rattling
With spinning plates downtown .
Wheel out of round . Twisting spokes
To straddle fences, rattling
With spinning plates downtown .
A tired juggler .
A spurting performance
Of ergs out of sync :
Misspoken symbols clash .
Back and forth futility
Crashes to the ground:
The stage indifferent .

Might As Well Jump
Rudderless and bilging
: The bedraggled rats
Stagger from worn rigging
Into the ragged sea .

Thermostat
Running hot
Engine in the steam of Hell ;
Jingle valve ringing
Like a Christmas bell :
Off a geothermal vent,
Unbolt the vat .
To trap the devil,
Change the thermostat .

Mudder
Dauber dots the air,
Hangs gossamer in the glare,
Lands : suddenly square .
Abdomen levers extended on thread
For breath and transfixing spiders undead .

Circumvallation
A wall installed by contracted fencers,
Watched by infrared cameras and sensors .
Coils of razor wire festooned like garland,
Rank & file guards deployed by charlatan .
White man who stole America from brown,
Labeled them savage, and spread Christ around .
“Paint it black to burn,” spat from Botox gloss .
A tripling of billions, and still they will cross .
