When was
the last time
I paid water

enveloping
water

I'd like
to make you
wet

Some dry things
like me
poetry-ing on

divining for
splashes back
sprinkles even

or most
dreamed of
a tear
Written on the back of my water bill envelope
I don't have time
to slow down
let me repeat

Making seconds
flavorful
chef

of right now
and i mean
to mean

something and
that's
pernicious

whilst surfing
momentous
achievements

albeit frivolously
with assonance
and discernment

This shade of nothing
i own
have staked out
as my own

i'm sure its value
has grown
since buying it
with a loan

indistinguishable
i've shown
from top brands
of alone

i'd so call you 'bout
your tone
reading in
trombone

wah wah wah ahhAhaa
so blown
all these notes
i've sown

So many words
until
I remember
\the edge

against which
we throw
verse
\like shells

of would be
dynomite
light
\darkly wrote

and I quote
nevermore
bright
\nothings  galore

there is something
long
ing through time
and I am it's tip
or better said
we are

slobbering forward
Charlie browns
kicking hard
watching too much
whilst thinking
and writing

even
playing at
whatever that is
which falls
forward
fastest

and i cannot tell
in this raveling out
while rolling
about in a wish
about
your smile
if you are
even

I could work
as a carny
I'm thinking
about being
away from me
and in another
skin

as this one
this one
is so
thin

what              
am i
in
Dennis Willis Mar 22
What hot thing
derailing
blood pressure

I realize
that i've been
harvested

and somehow
repackaged
for easier

opening
and access
to innards

when my hand
cramps up tight
from typing
