A sane explainer conveys planet terrain is not planar :
Correlation, crystal—Terra-shape equals oblate spherical .

Short Shrift
Spiritus Sanctus spanked us,
And expanded our lungs—
Lamentation before laughter .
Yet, of the three gods in the godhead,
Do you not think the Holy Ghost
Gets short shrift ?
Are these not coequal branches
Of cosmic government ?
The alabastard flapper hovers
Pneumatic across dimensions ;
The wind over the waters,
Carves up Chaos into subdivisions ;
Updrafts the skirt of Madonna,
Imaculate the swelling .
But in the Old Testament, the Father
Gets top billing ; and in the Good News,
The Son suffers the blues :
Yahweh thrilling with river splitting
And dekaplague killing;
Jesus spellbinding by sighting the blind,
And unwrapping death from the winding .
Pretzeled apologies for Sky Daddy,
CEO of the Council of Cielo,
Come from being concerned
Of being eaten by worms
As the terminal organic form .
Composed . Decomposed . Compost .

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 .
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 .
