please forgvive this short stack
the plastic wrap is attacking and i've lost my shoe
there's no way out to shout down this tennis match
catch your luck in a bucket and shake it all about
that's what it's all about
shouting from the mountaintop you think why isn't there a new verb
absurdly repetitive you pet your belly and rub your nose
wishing for good tidings of great joy
toying with the spinach and wishing to be a sinner
lingering over the cannonballs stalling out silently
cutting out unreliably

i'm sneezing for no reason but it's pleasant to know that the show's on the road and all the irony has turned to silver the quivery sparkles in the occasional spotlight getting it right again with friends to witness the wonder that is blundering without paper asking the mayor for forgiveness and his name though with intent to return it to earn it a spot after what's got to be some sort of job he's doing since the streets are brewing sidewalks and the chalk is talking the celery stalking and all the little ducks are having a row going at it like two beaks to three at the top of the ninth did i mention there's no paper which means fingers can't linger while subtle thinking does its blinking just the clicking of fingertips licking the letters from their homes luring them with the farm boys to the broad shoulders of emboldened paranoia i know i saw you and your orchestra and what can you say about that what cat has your tongue now and had you sung an octave lower the chandelier would be singing a different tune or at least be around to bear witness and witness a bear in its bare witnessed state fated to be repetitive just conjecturing the lecture tour ought to be wrapping up right about

the darkest i've ever been is a spincycle away from a heart attack counteracting the lemons squeezing their seeds and freezing their toes a glowing row of townhouses soused by condensation the frustration of listening too closely and hearing more mostly you've overstepped the bounds you slipped into once the caboose passed by and the cabbage rain dry crying all the black sheep home to roost with toast on the side a ride of ducks in a row like a big boy on show circling the notes and doting on rote behavior leaning a savior up against a crankshaft just burned marshmallows in the smoky shallows callow work sticking with jerks and their funky bunches the trenches unmentioned by multidimensional schedules handling the cranberries with leafy fingers the delicate lingering of crumbs on lips and sips tripping on seventy-five dollar tips in honor of the season and we should be fine if the gold pans out if the gemstones have filled out their tax forms and billed each employee for their [which is his or her] purportedly free meal ticket a sticky trinket fanning the wrong hands of in-demand erasers printing between the spacers of perfect teeth and museum frames naming same-colored shapes through rosy glasses the tumbling masses yearning to drink free with no cover and to color with no number

candid berries
a watchdog list
lisps washing machines
no one showed up
sad to report from the secondary lines
forts and mobiles
auto
routes swishing and switching
a new open love
wide open and keyless
humongous
except not in the way your dad says it
extremely very big
new in the cosmic sense not in the car sense
a real new yes
really and not synthesized created like gods do except you did it and god isn't real
fourteen
excuse that last line
it's just so exciting is all
big in your mouth a big rubber ball made of appleskin
cotton in your veins
and stuff like that
a blooming cottonball behind your eyes and that
post your scooters, vacation, fall

definitely an alibi would buy you some time but the dime you're spinning on is no sit-upon it's just change gone wrong meaning for the worse like a hearse outside when you wake up with fried egg on your face trying to erase those mistakes with a frying pan but that's a candyland defense running off from the fence from the trench full of unmentionable unbearable parables the walrus eating the carpenter and the ivory furs provoking all of hoboken to climb on board with animal rights and human lefts the palette cleft with only one primary color left in hand painting everything yellow all those dangerous hellos and goodbyes the disguised trials wrapped up in aluminium foiling and ready to boil all the king's men a bubbly bath a mythological wrath called down from the hardbacks where the cardsharks sit up straight and contemplate the changing scene before them with not a friend behind them and not a key to wind them as they slow down as their frowns slump and dump plastic eggs into the grass jingling with store-bought beans of the jelly variety a demo of piety of some sort as fertility symbols mingle with chocolate and the sun comes up like a bonnet on parade

hot shoot game

Concurrent with the unfortunate events last yesterday we were fashionably able and swinging like sweaty bachelorettes down the openhouse speedway
don't be fooled
we stated
it was a smarty pants compromise with the doorman who was a fool and therefore was passively required to apply for a steady position at the halfway supermarket
we were not at the supermarket
tilting all the time we bounced around unnoticed along lettuces and heads of lettuces and carrots pointing phallically at us and we didn't do it your honor at the supermarket and that is when this is when i mean we were spotted by the federal feds who were opportuned at the correct time of our appearance and disappearance
it's a whole new ball game we stated
and then we stated again
and that is when the event happened which we are most regrettably being informed of

just a phone call just a letter is all it's spelled out to be like the birds like the absurd words twisting my tongue and when you see where i'm coming from your unstrung hopes will rope-a-dope those doubts clouting their soapy ears out with dirty words unheard of through this passage the middle compassion in complicit fashion trashing all the call girls answering their ringers rounding their rosy fingers those diamond zingers clinging to each glimpse of normalcy in the way things work in the lurky jerky circus the turkey trotting around the ring and the thing is where's the master? is it inevitable disaster if we can't see those coattails that tophat and other compound words but the whip is another story creaming all that glory in a stroke or two choking you and your bedroom features the uncomfortable creatures perching on your pillow and looking over your shoulder your dreams your candlelight imaginings the tragedy of one thousand hours cowering with moos and hooves giving way out giving coupons for tomorrow if you'll just go away today you'll save no money but the sun will be brighter no doubter and the louder you shout the larger the crowd to see what it's all about but by when they've all gathered you can't see what's the matter yourself

long away and far ago a tow truck arrived to carry that weight which was macaroni salad and sleepless nights and the bites too big to swallow the birds too skinny for nesting all of the rest in the way of a blue sky trying its best to shine through with no sun to turn to though by the way it was day which is questionable but the best of times were stolen in the worst of crimes and the alarm never sounded which astounded the grounded wires the red wagon high flyers with steel toes and a renegade wheel to boot to know more of but no more of that we know better than to catch it all in the exposition when everyone is listening for a plot point for a hero to emerge for the soup to surge forward but you've been forewarned and the storm is coming anyway to carry on when the tow truck hooked up to the scene obscene amounts of doubt spouted off the ramparts and the carts were full to overflowing with questions like what lesson are we learning here what message are we steering our children to there must be some cleaner way to save the day but the crafty laughs scattered the clouds crowding the sidewalks talking it up and marking it down selling futures at a rate past prime when thirty seems not dirty but inevitable the buckets full of clams are scamming their little lives but and down the seacoast with remote changes of learning the dances and all the proper steps

there's some such going down underground around the corner standing like lemonade demanding the overpaid refunds be spun into energy a felted sleeve leaving the body with apparent stitches with electrical glitches dropping off the grid knitting one kite and pearling two oysters the cloisters overflowing with those glowing hot in search of silence no one able to shut their mouths but on route four south there's a house party with your name on it your claim on the famous roof chewing up the truth and spouting it out the chimney please forgive me for transgressing the speed limit but the lemon law was about to call my bluff to stuff my overnight bag and stag a stagehand with demands for oil and horns and warrantless alarms wire-tapping unarmed civilians a nation of millions held back easily with some penstrokes choking with laughter with an AC adapter crafting a homespun appointment book with a good look through the window wondering how the wind blows no one good or ill spilling built-up thrills down the alley and into the sewer a stink like manure and a drink mixed to cure an avalanche from slamming into your head before the storm beyond the norm but short of a quorum touring several cities before landing on a final fantasy destination the lack of reasons to leave pouring out the sleeves of the even traders baiting the switch and scratching that itch to create to raise the interest rate until all the carbon copies adopted stop and stare and wonder where the original went

all day on the road unloading from the maps strapping on wheels and feeling the road pulling along strongly with music or using its silence to convey the wonder of clouds the loud and the softspoken token minivans the transatlantic flyers the RVbuyers all along the same path trekking the final frontier which is over there not over here clearly so steering the stars along there's no time for an egg moon to break to scramble just a ramble in the bronx the jungle the bungled directions the corrections to your order sorted out by the rest stop queen obscenely in charge and living large in some tiny kingdom winning no fans and airing no condition listening with interest to the best and the worst of the gas station matrons too old for their prime ribs to be harvested and built into spillover confusion waking and shaking off closed eyes in surprise in wondering why it's so late and how the time zones phone home ahead easily led around the block to tick off the tock and to apologize unnecessarily for the minutes missing but the broken shoulders tired of holding up a head plead for bed instead

elevated above the train there's a rain and a hard place erasing the space where that once was which means filling it up which means a cup overflowing with glowing apples stapled to the trapeze freezing its eyes off which makes others scoff at the sense which it hasn't and the dark horizon stretching out its fingers into the sky winding by the stop full stop this is about something else this is about trees in the city and the sidewalk gardening shiny by the library and broken pipey in construction zones this is about the city vertical the purple and the glaze of rain and no chickens but they would be free range or rearranged in strange combinations with potatoes and glowing grill marks sparked by midwestern flair and redirected there and where the pingpong stalls and the calls go out for panda bear but nowhere to be found on the green line or the pink just a blink and there's rain and then it's gone once again this is about the corner bakery the fakery and the truth the time zones transposed into bunk beds the locks lead and followed heavily with hanging heads and swollen guts nuts to those cartwheels you've got to steal to feel real and the price isn't worth the advice given to your back which is to attack and retreat in constricting predictions of collapse lapsing into lines over water and mud seen as fodder for the tour of duty art and the departure from the ranks pouring out from tanks and into new zealand
