Isn’t it funny how an earth-bound drink
modifies our cones into brilliant saturation
and burns our circuits, showers with anticipation?

Well I think it’s funny when the days link
with the invisible individuals in demonstration
of lacked existence while shouldering the cold. They all take a drink,

we all take a drink, and we all never think
when the answer is held in mused assimilation.
                                                                                      Take another drink

of one that jitters; one that’s sync’d.
Jackhammers in our heads amidst deprivation
showering acid rain in our circuits,      down the burning drink!

My ******* agitation forces this alliteration
on the lack of restraint on the dull of saturations.
My soul castigates my being not to         cradle and devour the drink,
My body, my circuits, hardwired to anticipation.

there have been strange
going-ons´
in the agave
the week gone-

the summer
beginning to wane
the wheateaters
a trifle

familiar-
they say
play us  a tune
good head-

let us arrest
and rejoice in
this moment
or

(some bread
would be nice)
summer is near-on
over

autumnal´s
melancholia
just around
the corner-

play an air!-
on that old hohner
(in g)
-down by the sally gardens..

after breakfast
with the egg still
on me
i fulfill

this request
plenty slide and
trill
a sweet memory-

more may be less
and their silence
is last
the green grass

what was is now
dry straw
the swallow balance
on tall

soar
and fall
with accompanying
twitters

cast
their happiness
nail
the moon´s

beam
still..
in the distance
a paper sails

-deer cross a
stream
at sunset
brown

and greens
i rush up
a hill
into town-

the end
and well-mannered
the black and white
tailed

but slowly an
encore
a refusal
there are chores

one castigates
from behind the
gable
sited

brevity
able
sorry
i have

to wash up
perhaps later
and worry
a bathe

you may fly
i an old
penny
in the war..
