there is a noise like
something expiring
repeating

when the brain goes
in anti-silence
ee by gum!

and you go-
blimey!
where did that

come from?!
from your pod
like a god!

a sip of cherry
but my!
it´s good to be..

ii

i would take lsd
and go to the bar
(in the interests

of science)
on my space ship
through forests

closing eyed
to the colors
the canals of

love..
could be dangerous
what it is

to come from mars
i ended up or down
with the angels

and the sun would
rise
in no time at all

cold beer
clear air
nice..

writing teaches more than any
thing
not to look backward-
another day-another
blank screen

and what i do within
my space
why,that is up to me..!
freedom of creation
though fiction
to be with-out been

unlikely-a question of
style
and perspective
all relative
the moment when
the brain-
goes ee by gum..

then does the washing
up
mundane from spontaneous
us
the bidet to the
stars
love from the supermarket
shelf..

she re-enters like a
clumsy sentence
in one lily hand

some picked daisies
-do we not share happiness?
my soul cast upon the rocks

from the sea of ingrate
to the last grain
a boulder in my brain..

ii

she puts them in water
(not unlike my soul)
and on the table-

reconciled by the tide
i say,there´s some marijuana
in my pocket-

(no,she smoked it..)
they are her favourite
-yellow for happiness..

when you share with me
then, i´ll share with yourself-
lily looks perplexed..

(am i suddenly speaking
in tongues..)
she nods and nods-

waiting for more..
the window the garden
the door..

ii

she traipses out
examines the dew
on a web

i watch her-
capricho arabe by
tarrega-

the breeze swings
a sun shines
her pretty head..

evil is good perverted-
(that cuts to the quick
lily..)
attributed to paracelsus

give me something to
consider-
the shopping list
the blue skies..
a nurse on tv last night injected her patients with bleach..

i can´t eat brevity..or
severity
neither levity..

ii

nor poetry..
sincerity
too infinity..

beauty-
bumble bees
may save us yet-

iv

sanity
sweet as honey
is there for asking..
