so I says to the moth sleeping
on a kitchen curtain:
allow my hand curled
to be as soft as a laced
napkin, and you'll fly out
from my chamber prior
to the sunrise scything
the morning dew...
****!
and as I lit a candle and
gently uncurled my hand
into a proud lotus
with a sitting Buddha:
the moth disappeared
with what felt like...
a kingfisher diving into
the stillness of a narcissus pupil,
near figment,
replacement of
a woman's authenticity
of belief, subsequent
gangrene, akin to the one
success story bound
to the rigours of Walt...
****! thin air...
a moth in this kingdom
of night, is lover
to the kingdom of day...
a fern replaces a laurel...
immobile drench
of autumnal perfumery
of sly, snail *** oyster
gluttony of excess saliva...
no cannon riddle salute...
deafening the living,
bewildering the dead...
my adversary is not worth
the impetus and subsequent
ordeal of gained
responsibility of Cain...
vain vagabond...
truant lavishness of
lavender...
silence reveals...
what word is best said yet
best unworn...
hardly woken...
like a child asked for buttocks
before a jab counter Odra...
counter Ospa...
mid-dream...
meningitis hepitatis
worn A, B, C, all through to
D?
I see nothing short
of the clamour of the living
turned, dead,
and no drunk statue...
only rigid, copper frames...
best seek the concept
of a cube in a cage...
than a god in a man
in a man in a universe
with whatever strings attached
no more than chance, contra will,
in this circus of stars...
however the elaborate
expansions of space,
reiterated by the whimsical
musings of time...
there's the bound man,
the rubric standard,
the reiteration and
sense expanding cull: contract
reiteration of medium...
the plateau man:
the safety net inferno...
10 generations apart,
and still: without a Dante...
and thank ****
Bukowski didn't mention Dante!
eerie now, my reading of
the "Bolognese" tirade,
and the monopoly
of "earned" bachelorhood
of... the ma than becomes the gran
and the hopeful bride who...
can't make a broth...
as well as you...
but of course...
rasta best explains:
I is responsible for all...
pardonable am... 100 years later,
and, apparently,
it didn't originate in Zurich...
papa dont preach,
I'm emeritus...
Etc. Etc. in nomine
gratia plena...
words have become
quasi iconoclastic
within the confines of keeping
up with the rigour
of crafting logo...
coca cola, CoCa CoLa...
the ******* black madonna of
Częstochowa...
genuflex of the abstracted
tetragrammaton...
Y 'ere,

very discrete,
that definite article...
scissor atheist thought,
either an indefinite
article of A...
or the rubric of lost
items on the tube...
with a genesis of
a-;
oddly enough...
no lost umbrellas in this one...
because god forbid a language
should ever incline to be
shackled to a mind only
safe in confining itself
to running a school, yard,
and brick cascade of
***** counter excavations
of equal numbering,
to avoid the heretical waste...
doon d' 'oobe...
how else to translate
"******", shittz painting?
poetry is...
the lost art of counter rhetoric...
a poem ought to shut
someone up...
suffocate them...
rather than be,
what it currently is...
impedium of
replica...
**** me...
even I had to check the dictionary
to convince myself
of the stature of but three words...
impedium of replica...
at least plagiarising painting
has a thrill of
plagiarism behind it,
a mischevious
ploy on employing
subsequent experts...
my tongue, mostly
completes itself,
on how best it confiscates
the flame of a burning out candle,
and less...
on how a slug might burp
in the Royal Albert Hall.
