"pistons" poems
They enter as animals from the outer Space of holly where spikes Are not thoughts I turn on, like a Yogi, But greenness, darkness so pure They freeze and are. O God, I am not like you In your vacuous black, Stars stuck all over, bright stupid confetti. Eternity bores me, I never wanted it. What I love is The piston in motion ---- My soul dies before it. And the hooves of the horses, There merciless churn. And you, great Stasis ---- What is so great in that! Is it a tiger this year, this roar at the door? It is a Christus, The awful God-bit in him Dying to fly and be done with it? The blood berries are themselves, they are very still. The hooves will not have it, In blue distance the pistons hiss.

I'm a relationship engineer Building engines to persevere Through the loneliness I fear That makes me panic And seek out a mechanic That tinkers With my blinkers But doesn't fix a thing When I'm left with a sting From what's defined as a fling My pistons pumping The way I'm ******* When I find a rocket scientist That formulates the highest bliss In his carefully calculated kiss But I start to viciously ***** When our problems are subatomic Because every decision Creates nuclear fission Which causes decay And explosions of energy His thoughts he relays He sees me as the enemy So I find a Christian To pump my pistons He has the morals of God Which I figure can't be flawed Though they may seem odd But he doesn't love me He feels he's above me He acts like a martyr Which makes me fall harder But I'm left alone on the cross He has forsaken me He thinks I'm made of frost He has mistaken me I feel alone In the brimstone Of his dial tone I found loneliness In their phoniness My engine needs trust Otherwise it develops rust But when everyone tries to act cool Pain becomes my alternative fuel Love once seemed like a jewel Until my blood made a pool I tried to get repairs To find that nobody cares I learned that science Was of no reliance And the pious life Brought riot strife So I find nowhere to turn While my engine burns

Engineer
Amid the verbose magicians Seeking kinships And sailing deep into their arduous mists Watching them peddle their afternoon To a handful of smiling children holding their breath Amazed in gentle body trick The older men of age Leaning deep into their creased chins Stroking the grizzled fat Blinding light of soul Staring down the barrel of life Striking the enemy one last time And yet smiling sober, Met of match, taking care of their kids. Then there's the cold-clocked dudes On the phone pushing buttons In a button-up raglan Lost indistinct the promised land The golden shores swept away by inconvenient time Left shopping in an auto mall "Won't you look at the time?" 7.07 APR Boy what a steal! And Steve maddened and screamed As the lines blurred instinctual between opposing teams And the oven dinged a great alabaster slant Leaning towards the new millenitants Rise up! ***** the wheel Turn the axel from pistons To alkaline metal And doubt with great monumental Quality That the machine borders all And we cannot retreat And while I sift bouyantly between the waves Searching the puzzle piece within the molecules Reconnecting with the things And representing dreams on a 66 hertz screen I call rather failing Towards a black rocked shore Towards the sweet Dorigen Of my dreams Finding an integral of time And space And calculating the intangible slope Of my desmise With the imaginary constiutent Of that lighted mind.

Where are my shores
I remember a night patrol, we were sweeping some streets &  we happened upon a basketball game being watched on an ancient television. It was the Chicago Bulls vs. the Pistons, none of the locals watching it paid us a bit of attention, their eyes never left the picture. Basketball seemed more important than this War on Terror. That was just another time that the ludicrousy (or fruitlessness) of our mission seemed apparent. **** it, Go Bulls!

Basketball In A Combat Zone
Art Bouchard, My father, Never marched a drill, Nor fired an angry shot... Recounted fond memories I've heard so many times: How long ago, when I was very young, He and our neighbor, Art Pribnow, Up before the sun, Engaged in tractor battles (Dad was very sure he won). My father woke those mornings, Early 1960s, With the popping cough of Worn diesel pistons Clattering out white smoke... Then blue and black, As engine heat and friction Tightened gaps, Sealed compression, And the motor steadied into an even roar. Across the county road Our only neighbor led or followed suit, Sending smoke and sound To drown the morning songs of meadowlarks and robins. Fifty years later, Dad laughed in recollection, "We started rising just a little Earlier each day. Started up our tractors In a sort of game Called, 'Who's out first?'" Six became a quarter of, Then five-thirty backed to four. One tractor or the other roared, Early and then earlier To be the first to pull Into the waiting fields. When three-thirty came around My mother shook her head, But if she said a word, I never heard. These battling neighbors Even started engines up Before they ran, Milking buckets swinging, to their barns to chore As early became earlier in the little farmers' war. One day in town, By happenstance, A meeting came between the two. My father, being younger, Had energy for more, But old Art Pribnow shook his head, Grabbed my dad's hand and said, "Let's stop this foolishness Before one of us is dead! I don't know about the hours you keep, Or what got in our heads, But I admit, I need my sleep!" The farmer battle ended then. A hand shake and a smile Between two farmer friends, Created country lore, Remembered here a little while, As, "The Early, Earlier War."

Early, Earlier War: Battling Farmers

Communication/ medium of the mind Improper transfer; difficult time; Gears and pistons fire steadily Words are formed and jump out readily Filtered or not; good or bad A possible high, or impossible sad An idea new, bright, and free A rain cloud of dark, of which you can see The freedom erupts! The face celebrates The storm corrupts, the eyes retaliate A perilous game played (by two) together An exchange we somehow all get through A skill we improve with each Endeavour

Communication
I will not drop my drapes it is dark outside, TV will wait, for body weight is all I, or any of us, ever have to move, whether one wins or lose your ...groove, the next twenty minutes, too late tonight, I will run on the spot I will pushup, I will run on the spot again, I will pull back No...no heart attack I will run, once one the more, on the spot, you getting bored? I will do a windmill slide, while staying in the house, I will run with my knees one at a time to my chest, I will do a single Leg Hip Raise a whole bunch of times I will have my legs become like pistons, ******* off the the neighbour downstairs, Then reversing the urge, I mean Lunge, I will kick my toes to my hands Then run some more, maybe my neighbour will be pounding on my door Take a break for as many seconds as I want to grow old (ninety is nice) Then repeat and hope that supper, does not want a curtain call

Curtain Call
The dichotomy of purgatory is sprinkled with the delights and disciplines of a fretful uncertainty and steam locomotives can sound menacing when their pistons seek to establish torque on those rails of pursued destination with mesmerizing force. I know that time is like a fondling excitement, where constellations of perceived energy fields become intellectually categorized into mechanical parts of a metaphysical ****** Universal parameters of death may generate mischievous laughter, which resound throughout the silent galaxies of cosmological meadows. I have to say that geometrical co-ordinates automatically invoke thoughts of plain paper and hot chocolate – small figments of homosapien pastures where grazing is not a realistic occurrence. As we perceive the eternal impressions of epistemological nihilism, let us play the game of religious patience on this checkered board of architectural bliss.

Lesser Sapphic Fitness
How far is it? How far is it now? The gigantic gorilla interior Of the wheels move, they appall me --- The terrible brains Of Krupp, black muzzles Revolving, the sound Punching out Absence! Like cannon. It is Russia I have to get across, it is some was or other. I am dragging my body Quietly through the straw of the boxcars. Now is the time for bribery. What do wheels eat, these wheels Fixed to their arcs like gods, The silver leash of the will ---- Inexorable. And their pride! All the gods know destinations. I am a letter in this slot! I fly to a name, two eyes. Will there be fire, will there be bread? Here there is such mud. It is a trainstop, the nurses Undergoing the faucet water, its veils, veils in a nunnery, Touching their wounded, The men the blood still pumps forward, Legs, arms piled outside The tent of unending cries ---- A hospital of dolls. And the men, what is left of the men Pumped ahead by these pistons, this blood Into the next mile, The next hour ---- Dynasty of broken arrows! How far is it? There is mud on my feet, Thick, red and slipping. It is Adam's side, This earth I rise from, and I in agony. I cannot undo myself, and the train is steaming. Steaming and breathing, its teeth Ready to roll, like a devil's. There is a minute at the end of it A minute, a dewdrop. How far is it? It is so small The place I am getting to, why are there these obstacles ---- The body of this woman, Charred skirts and deathmask Mourned by religious figures, by garlanded children. And now detonations ---- Thunder and guns. The fire's between us. Is there no place Turning and turning in the middle air, Untouchable and untouchable. The train is dragging itself, it is screaming ---- An animal Insane for the destination, The bloodspot, The face at the end of the flare. I shall bury the wounded like pupas, I shall count and bury the dead. Let their souls writhe in like dew, Incense in my track. The carriages rock, they are cradles. And I, stepping from this skin Of old bandages, boredoms, old faces Step up to you from the black car of Lethe, Pure as a baby.

my heart is a machine behind every good heart there is an even better machine waiting to take over impulse beat- in out in out- beat who needs feelings { the constant struggle of having to repair the break crashlagslow hurt -reboot- (Call tech support!) temporary no sure fix repeat } behind every good heart is an even better machine waiting to mechanize bastardize supplement LOVE abiotic, anaerobic, clean, pure, simple, sterile who needs LOVE when metal & pistons are so much easier to understand predict replace/fix ? If they can engineer esters to smelllooktaste like anything on earth why the **** can’t that make something taste {like your lips} smell {like your skin; cigarette sweet with an undertone of work sweat} feel {like your too rough kisses and embraces} because maybe if they did it might make it easier, maybe I wouldn’t miss you so ******* much

i can't believe i'm living out my life's 10 seconds of stupidity with an un-payable debit account security of future credit, loans, debt and moaning... **** me double twice blind with a joker in hand... of course i'm stupid, i got educated in a world that pays you back with menial labour, to look pretty... seriously, don't do the stupidest thing imaginable and get yourself a university degree, unless you're a woman, that's fine, you'll get to meet and voluntarily wet your ****** with the next president of Romania, but we need idiot mechanics, and believe me, i'd rather oil up car pistons like stroking giraffe necks of Myanmar women.... from **** generals cited through to Epicurus' citation... believe me, i wish i was smarter, most of posthumous fame is a regard of obstructive i.q., we were believed to not take offence at our exposure to systematisation which educated both thief and banker... none of the two differ... both excusable buffers... we trusted people... trust was our biggest idiotic remark... and now the earth in spin... for endless maxims: it's like that... and that's the way it is; no wonder i end up watching serial killer documentaries.

Giraffes and Maynmar women
Now as the train bears west, Its rhythm rocks the earth, And from my Pullman berth I stare into the night While others take their rest. Bridges of iron lace, A suddenness of trees, A lap of mountain mist All cross my line of sight, Then a bleak wasted place, And a lake below my knees. Full on my neck I feel The straining at a curve; My muscles move with steel, I wake in every nerve. I watch a beacon swing From dark to blazing bright; We thunder through ravines And gullies washed with light. Beyond the mountain pass Mist deepens on the pane; We rush into a rain That rattles double glass. Wheels shake the roadbed stone, The pistons **** and shove, I stay up half the night To see the land I love.

Night Journey
*More often than is naught I carry the face of the villain. Snared in this prison waiting for my turn to burn while your fate is not so different from mine. My clocks still yield some ticks and tocks yet before I go there stands a few things you need to know: They told me that your love was fatal, though failed to hear the laughter of irony from behind their heads. They cried tales that you were toxic and I could not save my lips from curling. They said that your presence in mine would design the suffering for those around. I was told that you would leave me up in smoke as if God still plays with dice. Your middling cigarette spends just the beginning of their lives packing yet I waged it my whole life just to spend its remnants with you. Addictive by nature so let me take my pick of a million other lips to secure truth that it is you I am addicted to. I want you to simmer my skin when the world is cold, I want to cast you brighter than a hundred suns hold, I want to steal breath from your chest and place it in mine, I want to make your heart stop like an eight-sided sign, I want you to move my pistons and ignite my core, I want you to saturate me as I lay on your shore, I want to find what it is to go out with a bang, I want to be that picture that fits in no frame. I want to get you out of my head but you are my song on repeat, my hole that’s too deep, my nights with no sleep, my words when I speak. Yet alas I hail from a pack known as Montague while you bear the brand of Capulet. They will never render us free in this life so when my time finally comes to a burning halt, and my life flashes before my eyes, just know that you will be the only thing I see in the next.*

Ugh.
It’s all laundry and cigarettes
 White-knuckle odd jobs
 And freezing your *** off, at 7 AM, to
 Help your buddy out Breaking and bleeding, and 
Smoking and shirtless, and
 Spinning your finger and thumb
 Counter-clockwise until the 
Resulting ring of fire and fury can 
Torch your inhibitions No one ever restricted you from
 Rioting with grace
 And through the windshield of your vision,
 The streets wake up to the smell of
 Alcohol and experience It’s all rubble in dumpsters, and
 Spray paint that swears 
 Oaths, to bands and bandages 
Singing the praises of 
 Stolen promises, their swiftly
 Prying minds can’t understand And you’re standing
 In front of the truck 
Arms outstretched 
Pistons firing air through your
 Organs, that vibrate with the
 Trepidation of nightmarish resolve It’s all battlefields and accomplices,
 The kid that kicked you down so,
 That you’d eat the dirt, 
Place your teeth in 
Leather pouches, 
And taste defeat for decades You’re pleasantly high on the 
 Smoke of your still-burning debt
 You’re a supermarket superhero
 You’re the queen of the Gasoline Dream It’s in the way that
 Your outline is
 Edged out
 By your insides, and the
 Arms of the chair have become 
Wings, that unfurl over
 Valleys and oceans, of headstones,
 And nursery wards Tinted windows promise nothing
 Regarding secrecy of soul
 What would your wisdom teach me
 About sentience?

He envisions the Machine as a large locomotive Of a deep, tainted, black metal chugging down and infinite track The eternally glowing red hot coals pushing the pistons A giant crimson cowcatcher is fixed at the front Scraping up followers; forcing them into the vehicle Manipulating Its passengers to smash their heads into the Machine Welding their minds into Its mysterious black metal walls Stained with the blood of many who have tried to resist Ultimately wounded, maimed, outcaste from society Forever marked, branded by the scars of their attempt When the Machine has used you and-or your mind to Its purose It shoves you into Its furnace—keeping the pistons turning The Machine cannot be stopped—always picking up followers Forcing you into It; becoming one with the Machine As He looks into the engine room, there is no conductor A runaway locomotive chugging down the track with no end Its only goal: gathering as many passengers as possible Society, Washington, the Media built the machine Their brainchild, but have long since become a part of It Their minds welded the deepest—becoming the foundation of Its walls Long ago abandoning their carcasses to fuel their mighty creation

Black Lung (formerly: The Machine)
a day with contrasts faded hazy smoke from distant forest burnings skylight diffused.. traffic at rushhour a monotonous din.. such muffled appearances invited a more exacting look.. white paint splotches accidental decorations to a darkened parkbench suggests here a distant supernova explosion.. a motorcycle pistons' high pitch report self identification in the traffic din.. an airliner's orange contrails laced the gray cloudless sky.. then a sudden appearance a haloed quartermoon light enhancement with circular glow.. yes contrasts seemed to speak on this day bursting the haze...

"Little lass with the pink parasol, standing by the sea where your face was forgotten and your dress dirtied, what can you tell me of the wind? Have you noticed its paws tugging at your parasol and how it dances 'round your tip-toes and freezes your eyelids with icicle pins? How it shields your drinking sight from sunlight by raising a blind of your hair? Or have you instead chosen to count the peaks on the waves? How each pinch in the watery fabric pistons up and down in the oceanic mattress with the nature sporadic of a mad stellar twinkling. What treasures belch age and air bubbles under the surface of a fingertip's breadth? Of such sweet gems and precious metal surely are the gifts of its deepest depths daring. It has been counting the times you've dipped your nose under, under fear of the fathom's fingers finding your face to be pretty, and withdrawing. You'll catch cold, lass. Standing by the sea so often; always. At the least you will go mad at the infinite sound of roaring laps against the shore and the gales born of sea and sky scrubbing memories of stillness from your mind. Little lass with the pink parasol, what do you hope to find standing here by thesea?" I asked her. She was silent. And I heard every word her own, though uttered tangibly by winds of local overcast atmospheres. In the wet soil 'neath my tarred heels did a coolness rise, finding my lungs dry and welcoming. The horizon joined grey and blue and she was eyeing the vanishing point. My eyes joined hers in trek and I found infinity. Nothing was visible along the skyline. Meaning anything was beyond it. Nothing was visible beneath the tide. Meaning anything was under it. The wind suggested transparency but a secretless wind is merely still air. She said nothing and I understood; the sea seems larger when you are close enough to be kissed by the waves because you forget that the whole world is behind you. I am right now standing by the sea. The little lass with the pink parasol. She is here, too.

Looking out of the window; a ribbon of duck-egg-blue sky, fringed by the sun's late light, is sandwiched by grey cumulus. It frames Sycamore tree tops, red tiled pyramids with their expectant aerials pointing West, littering clean lines. It is a mute view; serried bins wait for the mornings collection, cars sit dumb, curbed, their daily commute completed. Two starlings flit, silent, and in the far distance a high contrail is picked out in gold as a thread in blue silk. For five years this view remains changeably the same; unspoilt by the entropy of new perspectives. This is the summer of un-broadcast malcontents, pacified in Brazilian spectacle. Days simmer here and there. Soap operas filter through, made to massage the message of consume and discard, of holidays and pistons. And in the mornings, that never come, we abandon the cars that cannot diverge from work-honed routes, taking to the air from Sycamores as Starlings. June 2014

Starlings
*C'etait vraiment une belle soirée, la plus-que parfait soirée de toute ma vie. C'etait un soir amaranthine.* I have seen God, and he is pistons on iron. Grey-blue eyes, saltwater pools. That squeelin' a'screechin whimperin' whinin' hydraulics, Can you feel the hydraulic boom-boom bass-bass.. He is a man crying "Hey," he is a woman selling jewelry he is wraps and rounds, garnets that glow, he is 'Tree Fort' musically meditating with meditating musicians, he is a writer writing in the woods, he is burning paolo santo, he is iced off dose, real European **** (Boom, boom. Bass, bass.) he is Scorpio sun signs sun shining, he is a man's heart shining. Won't you look at all these hearts, really have a look at them, and tell me that they aren't the most **beautiful creative spirited** hearts that you've ever seen? Scorpio, I love you. I really did love you. And how I've loved you since. *It was truly a beautiful party, the most beautiful party of my whole life. It was a night amaranthine.*

Eye Contact
the red light of sin illuminated her ankles she, a thousand frisky demons comfort me as i yield blood eyes for switch blade kisses that push through retinas glass aperture dark girl with a penchant for hideous pleasures *** crimes like blatting pistons her mothers womb twisted with regret as i live in her hell ****** stare ********* talons that pierce ****** like diaphanous ribbons her **** floating angels and feet sweeten my face in subduing rituals of hard knocks getting her mood up for blowing **** loops my nose; her **** soaked door **** her ****** a squeeze hustle innocent fig strained mix meistering patterns of extruded clay; a pomade of raised bumpy torpedo's fingers to ***** ***** to fingers i run to her like bones of air and she teaches me in the blood of pandemonium to make ice in hell

Lunch Box
Suicidal tendencies; Man are they hard to shake. I guess its kinda ******** to wanna take Ur own life Away. To me its just part of most days. I look at living as a silly little game. Constant effort to trasmute the pain, To shut off my brain So that I can simply Exist. A 44 n a flick if the wrist, Or score sum more n slip into bliss. Make sure she's got no sores on her lips Before planting another ***** with that first kiss. A vertical slit of the wrists I've thought often of the many many ways To cross off the list. But really, when I take my own life If i decide in a monent of emotional feedback so loud it drowns out my natural effervescence It'll be from taking flight. Cause u know how much I like to get high N how hard I *** down. Ear to ground Still listening for the secret N searching for the sound. I get lost n then found Then lost Again I really don't have any friends Just acquaintances I don't remember what day it is But I sure can feel the pull of the moon I love these orange pressie pills, I start nibbling at noon I used to believe in love, now my heart has no more room. Desperate doom. I'm such a romantic That I'm incapable of loving humans any more. More efficient to go ahead n make that score. My heart like a massive tree house so many floors. So many many ways in, All boarded shut If I was a girl they'd call me a **** Cause I **** every night, my ***** mouth n **** Cause I can never get Enuf of love. Thank god for drugs. Why is it that in Alaska no one hugs, Santa Cruz -- home of the pacifist banana slugs. No more war, I'm retired from battling History repeats itself Like a broken ******* record. My past is checkered, But not as hard as my future I'm going in deep with the drugs Working out all the bugs In this new system. Do u know what its like to b ****** on By the ones fr above. I'm smoothing out my pistons Ready to race. Beginning a new phase, Where no one gets my heart, not even me. A new start. Now wearing the glove, Cause I'm nearing the finishing lines. I've definitely had enuf of love.

I want to stumble into you Like the locked door at the end of the hallway The one with the sign that doesn’t say DO NOT ENTER As much as it says I ****** DARE YOU And I dare I dare to devour your deviance Like a grungy punk rocker on a microphone Head shake tongue wag cartoon coyote horn howl What? I have no discretion Leave the lights on I want us both to see why we taste so bad I mean Let’s pound like pistons Until the oil dries up And our engines seize I have nowhere to go I do not want to go home tonight I want to sloppy seconds myself Before passing out With my head in the crook of your neck Even drenched in sweat You smell so sweet I want to kiss you I want to taste your body’s attempt To cool what I do to you I want to heat you up again I bought the clapper and unplugged everything else Just so you could tell me to **** you like a strobe light Well Gorgeous Now I can Come place your lips on my throat And I will sing for you You are so much more beautiful than I could ever be Let me know what that feels like By wanting me back This gentle ache Of dancing And drying joints I wonder if you’ll still be this **** when you’re old I ask because I have lost any desire for grace I have fallen from it And want to stumble into you like a locked door Fumble for the house keys Might actually make it inside If you took your hands off me
