Prepared Observations

through the lungs of a crow

car addict inertia can you

feel me now this spent balloon

supper? a twisting receptacle of

all one’s thought as ache to be

beholden through switch of a

long toadstill violation with

orange tickets sporting their various

ways in the law of juxtposed

wisdom papers in effect until

forecast calls for legging removed

from the atmospheric bedroom

allowed glue for an artifice

that sinks through the postal cracks

lone ranger’s passport in the

hobbyhole built in 1977 the year

punk crashed it’s boob matrix

through tom schnider’s windshield

on a cold foggy morning

at which the police said

“sir please correct your nomenclature”

Young Dandled Kippers

the british grey is wearing us down

so tired of the functional red

and the blatant blue

recieving through heart credit

a sweetness off layaway since

karl saffran’s track glory days

humming the cookie theme

that makes the teeth to be distinct

which is to recite a single

pain in the noir

ignoring the constellation

just a plain gallant cheek book

landing on the rain’s

neon heliport

within a young

welsh corgie’s corrupted

world view

from Cognitive Dance-off

*

a blizzard that apologizes profusely

for not remembering your name

*

for my confusion

and stone-washed guilt

and lackluster wit

and showroom promise gone all

less-than-maintained

you-didn’t-know-this-market-would-

poop-all-over-the-boat

showroom floor cad chagrin

I really owe-skie

*

in fact a wide open premise

we had neglected was that the funeral

hadn’t taken place at all

that the foreman had actually tricked

us into our bereavement and that

all of the looting

the pulling-down-the-statue-ing

had been a prank we were

coerced by suggestion

(we were so horny)

to play on ourselves

*

lackluster birds are paper in my memory

the riff of yester-glue / TMI

in the zone

like throwing rocks in the ocean

everything fell for the time-being

forgiving and humorous

but stopped listening to suggestions

when a final installment of tanked-out

tossers sank into a YouTube-derived

demonstration of Olde English

and really comfortable couch postures

*

I need to get a sense of humor

in the part of town where word has it

they throw down the cardboard for a measly

taste of that post-avant primo shit

if I just flash my American Tree credentials

without being overly discreet

but also without offending the locals

who don’t know any better

I can graduate to the next level of preciosity

be let into my new family

and with any luck you see me several years later

spooning the cutting edge

*

a last given suggestion

welts in the dinner roll of collective angst

Area Man

area man an important gold arm

vs. an example such as area man

or area man in a bittersweet glove

of wind like area man finally

succombs offers succor to the asian markets

or paydirt in a plastic lock

area man ooh yes

area man oh maybe lets stop

playing around

area man tongue us on our balconies

have a taste for birdflu area man you

recombinant mutant you

area man, man in an area

farther away yet toward where

the form fingers the function

the same principle as you reach

your robotic hand farther down through the prizebox

romance lies in wait for a housewarming

gift is a likely stunt

a lovelorn end table of promises

area man will never keep

only the cream of area man’s promise is real

only the measurement of luck

is one thing we’re out of

area man didn’t leave us any, let any out

area man takes me and you off his phone

he posts a grief along the tubes that draw up

the bingo machine being romantized

holler at you later

to pick up that area man

at the airport

save the zinfindel pasted

cards pasted F6 or try F8

younger than we struggled to believe

is area man having a brand new heart attack

a fascinating reception for his wake

along the coast

releasing the bubbles from the froth

from the ether from the freezeframe of the

world’s fantatstic grip and commodity fetish

sheltered reams of gold

punch up the imp in the cloud

the area man of the respectable courtship

sharkskin vs. the natural ways of man

what sounds as familiar later the vortex

was glanced into is all

an embroidery of prayers around

area man’s abode

the troubled psychedelia of his gait

later a pirate’s booty was shook

to shake out the fissionable material

the confirmed or most likely reducable

love which hangs from

area man’s hangnail lame as fuck

which is what we do in slo mo

the laughter of area man in sound booth

or mattress-coated suburban rec room

the softcore of sobriety society

the vague science of lucidity

the tame tune of newly washed hatchbacks

and their glimmer in the sideways american morning show

a highly rated foot-race job

whistling on your gps

don’t name it’s location

melt it in your mouth

in your handmouth area man

poor means of your lovemaking area man
