squandering o little me squadering
as much as i....

chimneys and chimneys and so much smoke
and no alleviation from the horror
will i trust the happenstances of pop
and celeb culture
before their knees knew prayer
they knew about being gassed...
dead...
  chimneys and chimneys
they left those pyramids like shy engineers
it would seem
how they squabbled
over the deed
and the dead with them
these Hebrews
now relegated to middle-class womanhood
O such wonders!

the terrible has already happened
history passed me
the terrible has already happened
the ugly the thick IQ
remains...

          UM GA RA SYND

the terrible has already happened
i will not stray from
the chimneys
and the train tracks
no...

no PYRAMIDS
these coffers of weight, dead,
these:
my ethnicity was 2nd
to the Jew
and i'm somehow:

what is happiness and life
with this gravity of meaning
who ushers
in the gods
and the masters
but doesn't flip
8am...

           a people with horses
with breaths
and dogs
these barking mad emblems
these effigies of purport!

one lie two lie
one lie two lie toe for tweak
i lie
i tell the truth
but at least i exasperate myself
on punctuation
this

"curve ball": she says it
like her mother and me
is equivalent to my mother
and grandmother and me...

SaRdauKaR
letters like levied oblivions
i watch
like hapless Job
like this idiot
and i think...
beside a god there's death
and from my shrinking into
extracting this
to me initiating this...
what crescendo!
what echo what time apparent
this limitless numbing and experience

EAST is the new NORTH
on the compass of
narratives...

the sun rises...
and with it,
so does man...
should his attention gravitate beyond
any bias...
the sun rises
and with it,
so does man.
