Paragraph

Letters cluster or justly stand alone,
Warded into some words at intervals
Of broken interruption by punction,
Be it spatial or glyphic, acting as
A rift for clarity as the subpoints
Are predicated : a topic sentenced
With paragraph, full-stopping intent or
Line-spacing a new riff after indent :
Right words included, Emersonian ;
Left words sequestered, precluding droning—
Topics anthropic assayed in essay .

The Brutes Banishèd

Booting from booing,
Bozo boohooing ;
Bring down the blackshirts :
Bigots frown, butthurt .

The Woman in the Window

Drawn to a painting of the femme fatale,
Recall the panting of the animal
Before primal became civil .

I hate this solidity,
The stodginess I feel .
It is the end of the brightness,
The end of spirit
And adventure .

Don’t talk like that .
Men of our years have no business
Playing around with any adventure
They can avoid .

Otherwise, swerve about-face the straight-lace,
And spin the fateful curve topsy-turve,
Oneiric in shadowed noir .

Dusk of Musk

This is the picture :

The world’s richest man
Chain-sawing the world’s poorest
Children .

High on ketamine,
Handing down political scripture—
Of me . Before you—
No matter : the effin’ scale
Of lives cut short,
Oligarchical sport .

O, mallet of malice fall
In logarithmic arc,
And drive home the coffin nail,
And shove this asshole
Ignominious

Into dimensionless dark .

Mufti Decrees Outside

Fatwa for the fatso,
Orange bozo pulping fatter :
Thank you for your attention to this matter .

From the back hall : Luigi
Juices fruit . Get the squeegee
For the smear after fall follows the fart of the peel .

Plumb bob the bunker bombs
Digging ditches after the outbreak
Of yellowcake riches to deeper catacombs .

Bone Tool

Scored by South Africans in Swaziland,
Glint of the flint sharp in the hunters hand :
A fibular Lebombo bone, baboon,
Counter of the ancient changeable moon .

Laud

Not for the first time, the fourth
Planet rolls through the crystal
Sphere ; a promenade
Of prominence whipcracking
Quintessence into
A quiescent pulsing hum
Like wind blowing across the
Pursed lip of a coke bottle ;
Transforming purple darkness
Into tangerine morning .
Quietly harmonic, the pageant
Unfolds lazuli .

Notes from an Outing

Some critters I spied on my bimble :
Two crows cawing and a statuesque crane,
And a sunning turtle dome on the lane,
And a squirrel, tail furled,
Covering nuts with terrain .

Some that I heard, hidden from pupil :
An unmistakable woodpecker trill,
The scramble of a skink
Scaping down a hill,
The flop of the frog into the spill .
