29 january

keep me honest. ten minutes and in it to the end there are extended circumstances to dance around in to abound and expound upon the wrong side of the bed the back wide and unfed the kettle drum the ramparts and other sides of the castle stormed by norms and performance anxiety: so much piety and no one is humble! so much power and still such a mumble! we have skills and we cannot share them out loud -- too proud for an overbear, too shrouded in underworn raincoats and underthroated sighs (ours are not the reasons why -- ours are all the hours flying in the face of reasons: keep us please from marveled treasons fed from darn unraveled pleas and thanks and outer banks of mission statements -- waking tents and closing parentheses in natural surroundings) hounding the dogs on the banks and clanking around the the speakers of the house: mister g, tear down the wall! ali g oxen free: come one, come all! we are all the answers to our parents' wandering eyes! we are all the guesses that we could have better disguised! let me play a different tune while sergeants march and pickles prune: we are each the choristers the barristers the temple scribes~ know us before we arrive and we will dance the waltz with you! we will tie your running shoe so you can make your grand escape before the sun has turned too late and all the walls have come undone... leave me now to turn unstrung and i will unhook as i fall - as the evening cannon ball imagines scenes from civil wars and calendars of colonial doors: these are the things i can do without (come on) - the balking from views and the easyclose truths are the science i can't take when the baked eggs break (where has all the boiling gone?) (when were carrots metal?) these are all the paragraphs and this is how a muffin laughs - this is how the fox grows even as its tail blows answers in the wind, the growling that begins as a smile in a throat and the boat that is your abdomen hoping for the best rowing with no arms but will in no water but air - compared to seas there's something to be seen and in this scene there's a developing current unnamed but mapping as a warming trend a map i'd lend a marker to darken the greenstream it so seems and so themes admirable indeed from this angle well pleased
