Pain & Rescue (poems Nov 2016), draft/unfinished

 




draft/unfinished


 (Personal Allowance Threshold)

Like a cardiac splinter or 

I’m thinking of a calendar heaven 

or a map or what use is it in thinking

about prosody? in the head

felled trees sleep aggressive 

minding assertion 

of hapless halcyon image

slyly wilting neurasthenic 

honesty each new trench

has gossamer of tolerable

arabesque wealth 

compensates a top plastic surgeon

just want money but

we’re all in it together

in this Big Champagne Flute

about 2 1/2 ft wide & 3 ft deep

around the base liquid crystal versions of

wheel barrows, shovels & pick ax’s

obviously still composed of flesh

& i thought to myself

alongside municipal zoning 

pursue both ditch digging 

& symbol management 




 (Cocaine in Mayfair)

If you don’t feel like 

you’ve failed enough already 

opulent trade in CDO

will spread through 

your surviving intervals of memory

under its aspect of continuous 

connected process loving small vagrants

stiffened in blast crimped in 

baked convulsive joke 

that heterogeneous ideas are

yoked together with violence 

but to each to his own crisis, 

so complete the fiasco 

bibelot frangible bits weakly

in my terrain of reproduction 

at once, agencies of fiscal discipline 

sanction trials demanding

a straight ditch of credit products 

for liabilities on the balance sheet

austerity counter tacts

strange fits no yellow pongee silk suit

snuffed out the cocaine in Mayfair shingle 

road paraded faithful pet gazelle 

infinitesimals of sectarian fun await 

squeeze the piece 

doesn’t produce miracles 

& the base is sunken with morbid floribunda 

& comical abbreviated conjugations 

on the bonnets of SUV’S 

the cylindrical lip 

crossing tip to tip 



(Untitled)

In the tradition of a coterie reading 

your feet covered in Margaret Dabbs 

& so is your face 

& the days are so short 

by the time you manage dimidiated  

it is in this will to arrest 

a moment to bury 

the ammonia-injected meat 

in quicklime because 

there are no tourniquets. 

What is a derivative? 

There are no tourniquets. 


(Ode to le gars)

Always in the fog, 

cottony, all day long looked like he was sleeping 

considered it all formidable 

child cuspids battered often prisoned 

tough dry-hair raised out by mothertime itself 

immemorial stories of histories 

in the Bistro spilling conversion 

the preacher preached life 

on the screen on the street 

without distinction 

a violent head shady 

but always inhabited 

(Life is a Sport)


More milk dispensaries 

than ATM’s ballerinas 

siesta with jogging bottom 

warriors left at home

all day family planning,

domestic care 

educational systems can’t predict 

aerosolised, manic & ambulatory 

                 OXI 

 is the destruction of restaurants                                  

a yes that can’t hear 

milkweed the sustenance 

monarch or avuncular 

gone to the numbers 

game & not war

& you won cold from 

warmth resplendent 

light makes work that is not 

work light bulbs in daylight  

asks such a slightness that

needs a head against a tree 

looted floribunda in kitchenettes 

in SUV’s arboretum 

full of profound asthma attacks 

with mothers & fathers

in bed, glued together 

yearning for timeless grasp 

of verities ausmerze 

6 million lazy gluteus’ 

no bayonet sunlight is when we

drive cars without ancestors 

full with silence cunning pass 

pink filis & its cages

rented is this property 

of the mind? 

virtuous world tongues 

coming thru your window at midday 

with bottled Fixes & mosquitos 

eating my tired idiot hand

out
