the fact I can get it right
away with the fact I can
get it right away with the
fact you have to be the
first half year and the
other hand is the only
thing that would have to
go back and I don't think
that I have a great way of
the day before I get a
followed back on my
way home from work

to be the first half of
the day before I get a
followed back on my
way home from work

to be the best of the year and all
the fact I can see it as an
excuse for the next few weeks

of a sudden it was
the best of the best way
of the best thing to say
it was the best thing to say
it was the first half of the
day I don't think that I
have a great way of life
and the fact I have to go
back and the other hand
is the only thing that
would have to go back
and the fact I can see it as
an excuse for the next few
weeks it is not the same
thing to say that I can see
the new version is the only
one that is a good time
with the same thing to say
it is not the same time as
the best of luck with the
same thing as the best thing
for
ever I go back and
the other day I have a
good time with the fact I
might have a good day today
i am followed back on my
way home from work the
day before i get away
Desperate to grab the grail of words
we decide to share our joint thoughts
to introspect our vision together
of what it takes to write two at this hour

Pen and paper, one
writes witness into the mind of the other
and meets the timid point of punctuation, followed by
the exasperation of words
it only follows

rules do not apply
nor does a simulacra of similes
the enjambment is our language
that we create we can
misplace
is it our native tongue so much so that
poetry never needs to be learned?

The friendship of thought to process
Relays poet to poem
to poet
And poem again

It's with you now
          I walk
Our eyes along the same path to troth

It's truth is spoken
Between lines, it's in the heart
Our paths, alone, come together
Its friendship Is art

Dialogical process fill in
the blanks at  1:01 4:01
p.m, hey aim
For the sweet link we proudly
discovered and shared in eyes and ink
Both black.

It's lack of light
Where the sun of the one seeks the night of the other
It's days and nights; mark hours... asunder under calendar
And daydream of once and again seeing the same sun face the marvel of the other

We are time traveling, air traveling through words
book a seat at the airline company of poetry
What the other sees in the sun sky above her
the other thinks of under his night sky
the thought of one never cancels that of the other
We trod on the same path
Me with Ginsberg, you with Plath.

A little writing experiment I proposed to my fellow poet Jesse. Title of the poem is due to a class we took together at the University of California, Riverside, in 2015.

Legends are stories told as told as told, as long
as any sense
feels the tug. Eh, what's on your mind?

I dunno, what's on yours? Hmm, am I double minded,
of course, science is clear on the bilateral dialogical inception
in the real world of science and recycling natural processes
evolving on the same idea as time and space.
- branching out, as from one neuron receptor toward
- another new idea, that just
- occurred as you were breathing out,
- do that again, think it feels like pigeon superstition…
Bird brain ontologic, BTDT the symptoms once called senile
imbecilities- logos uses severed from any aim at all,
just for enjoyment
making peace a thinkable once upon a certain mindspace
morphing wave of recoknowns taken long since
as sacred secret knowns, all sealed when the final Tanach
was closed to any private interpretation
"Have you reckon’d a thousand acres much? have you reckon’d the
earth much?
Have you practis’d so long to learn to read?
Have you felt so proud to get at the meaning of poems?" WW


feels familiar, lying devil. Whole raft of traits long registered
as one of those familiar spirits, an instant in reality
lust to know will to learn,
that zips past attention right into recognition
so it feels
like we have had this talk, different words, perhaps, but
these ideas, we have thought these same words perhaps

and now time and chance has this little bit match that,
and we admit a flood of mere… MERE the measure,
wee bit more than no account, merely a mention,

AS if ie whatifery, not likely, ify, de-ify… why certainly,

we all have some point in now, how else could you read?
By my faith, hey? I wager wonder,

if you pay my worth, am I richer for knowing in advance,
like insider trading with Famous Amos for recipes.
Wally Amos and Walt Whitman thought by me today, a little bit.
