the strangeness that is realized when the words, scattered and smattered, hardly useful enough to com-paste/post a poem together, scrabbled letters on a dining room table, ripe with possibilities, ripe with the stink of inutility, for the industrial-military complex of mind-eye-tongue refuse to work together, the letters, yes, scattered and smattered, come on a regularly irregularly schedule, not put together... why should I write of this? write of this of now? my man-ifesto of inspirations loved and lost, poems that arrive while I drive unable to record them, for days now, a poem lay inert in my brain but just on the tip of my rounded, tongue, the title knew me, knew it was mine to write, but the man/poem coming together in mystical simultaneousness, was nope, not conceivable,   thus be advised somewhere in my body decaying lies a decaying poem. the title is **The ***** Dimples and Dents Upon My Body.** Perhaps this is that poem; but I suspect not. This one was written in five minutes in one sitting, a run-on, run-though out of control. so easy to write when out of control!
