keep it together like underwater weather out of reach of shore of more certainty of the trends we see developing in weather patterns and scattered bits – the uneclipsed celestials and halfbegotten vegetables somebody meant to cook – somebody should have booked for a sidebysideways latterday breakfast all along the waterway lane

30 march

returned unearned like a lesson unmentionable or a creek unsinkable – nobody drinks from that canoe without the requisite say-so – and although we’ve got the lid on it’s not strong enough for hurricanes or laser tag and anyway the soup is up

29 march

different font like you want to show a new angle like the strangled efforts of other days can’t faze the phases that mark the stages like coach and also right left center off on and other yawns of carrying out the wordplay to the endgame and forgetting to keep any scores

28 march

and when the light flickered on we were surprised to start to understand how dark it had become – only in the light can we see clearly the brightness

27 march

Joanna Linden:))

26 march

even as the odds to it’s a tricky flow from here to there without awareness of the care missed in appreciation of the everyday right of way situations – the conversations with reality that create new states of mind and also of beauty of art of health of hope

25 march

melted into fever

24 march

melted like a butterball cannonade – the lemonade too sweet to do without – the doubts stacked too high to drive home in the dark – park in the driveway if there’s nobody home –

23 march

when you read it in in succession like that it’s a map collapsing into spiderscribbled lines twining into doubletime station on the way to public television indecision and a bit more before lunch – no such nonsense but we lose again again and I scan the cans for trash but it’s someplace else instead –

22 march

but somehow we are expected to collect our regrets and set them aside – not to hide but to pass by as if everything else ahead is better to focus on – the sticky down and the fevered right lighting up the way to fiddled rates and more mistakes as far as the tracks can go

21 march

tea party alarm clock ticks like a deer like a lick of salt like a cannon ball struck out with a midnight slipper and a glass that glimmers long beyond the steps and grates to a later escape straight on through the scene –

20 march

let’s touch our toes to the elevator floor and press more buttons than we could have dreamed – all the scenes leading on to the act unspoken and the vows untoken like a key offer nobody managed to redeem before it locked

19 march

starch the linens and roll the curtain pants back – counteract the sailsetting and tangled underwire

18 march

back again backwards undertime and overthought: caught between Iraq this thing out and Iran away fast and as the trash cans overturned in the burning certainty of rushing elsewhere – the close care of a warm touch and the feel that nothing matters much more than the score that can never be totaled

17 march

some kind of luck upside down and a shamrock attracting shakes and lakes and puddles and underspent amazement we tip over gratefully again and again

16 march

salty lips and invisible horizons – the sun blundering through timetelling and tastetesting – rest of the way there is no other path – no way the last melts its quota at the rate – the great weight lifted and surprising drift out of bounds – common ground and tongues strung along by honeythick wonder

15 march

out of the park and under the wire – fired by tiramisu and all the rest of the sand in the beach – reaching out to touch the streetlights and catching lowgo stars – whitewashed churches and redswept dust – must and do and horns that warn

Travel tip: Delicious Happiness Ice Cream Parlor Surprise

14 march

pineapple pie and lime twist / keep up the levels until morning turns aside

13 march

elsewhere the dreams dare to sleep on their own pillowed schedule with the rebel yell as well as can be expected – matched and connected to the halfdone prelude leading into the chapter verse and worse

12 march

slipping into the dip between the space unseen and the second horizon there’s more than one surprise in store for more than a nickel’s worth of wonder – blundering through the outer world to underwater circumstance the dance plays on and the steps make time – shining through the use cases and evening up the odds

11 march

in the dark the lights flow by as lines as the sand commanding its own exit its waves that save the sea from beaching its own reach beyond stars

10 march

by the beach by the wave by the saving grace we chase our winds away to blow the bay seasoning beyond reasoning and into the mishmash of rehashed decisions and on into fission from the rest and fusion of the best type available from any whileby menu

9 march

bark like a bite free light dream seeming to steam through polite flights or damp tramps happening through marshes through starches through potato fields and barley yields and barely grown elements of fiction – bon voyage and other lines

8 march

keep in touch like the luck stays Irish like the truck in the garage – the buck at the lodge – the gravel in the driveway that keeps the dust down: we are the harbingers of doublechecked spellings, dwelling on the improbable and wobbling into place – the race to the fittest and the math that adds up: thought to be in group five but til the numbering arrives let’s muddle through the undefined lines and draw up something new

7 march

upright your seat and downturn all wrongs – you can do no turn undone – unstrung and knitted up like knotted pines and dinner lines drawn thick with salt and circumstance – chance encounters in diners at finer stages of engagement – a  page meant to be read back to black and on into the fine print –

6 march

miles above and so slow below the pin drops the rain chops off its puddle at defeat of cloud-based strategies – clattering noisily through the candlesticks and parking at the far end of the table

5 march

pushing back the rucksack ragtag soup brigade, we’ve made our way to the lemonade shade trees to breeze through the short list of buttons, twists, and sideways ties that bind – that twine our hearts in tandem carousel uncertainty: as we see, we pay the rent and spend our days investing

4 march

pun like a stunner and drop like a brick ton underdone halfbaked trial and error: compare your starting lineup with the stabletop calamity: these are the jeans Jane rode in on

3 march

starch like an overcoat fire brigade saved like a cattle prod overawed and underwater: these are all the passing fancies, these are all the highway dandies flaunting toothsome lollipops and gobbling seconds first

2 march

along the way I played the fiddle and let the meter run – a stunning set of bars and rests while they band kept up though the time ran out –

1 march

search and decry the wry looks that cook bookings like an out of work jerk store that hard cores the apples and sets back the clocks: lock our hands to the wheels and turn it all ahead
