Vollum ventriloquisms
& the aesthetic emetic you say
in the bath houses in the steamrooms
you dictate less frequently face-to-face,
but what is the politics of phobia today? Tug Haven
the starflowered objects
of competitive identification
the cities
the emotional high beta's three waves
the portfolios
the flyover faces
the authoritarian personalities,
the male fantasies
you emerge in propria persona
as the guide to formal parterres
completely aflame
the herbaceous borders
& the flowering shrubs
in girdle of starres
& MRI’s die their nuclear fuel
like whisperless calcined softstrips
falling outside jurisdiction of municipal bins
closed forever without seeing
& yaxleys still hidden
in broken sleeps in headlamps
burn you in a blindspot
this is how we speak
like the shallow firth of anthrax air
like wait a minute it is treeless today
& in the first five minutes of your death
do all the violent deeds
glow like under liquid
or its not worth thinking about or reading?
