Nocturnal daylight (1997)

  

Lastly i unleash the very gem

ending the miners blisters from their 


toil, they can go home to watch TV

because it's what twits do best


Lest the miners are indeed dense

Oil must be pumped, the pumpers dumped,


old rancid pinnacles Must be replaced

detaining children's follies


behind urban playpens, costs elevate

only because tiny levers make whoopee


involuntarily grinding the slack sadness,

lastly, once else all is seated with club


in tone in tune, the city hand lost

some of the best antique marbles


very very slowly i will chew upon

art until the succulent flesh flourishes


turning levels on leaves, core heaves

symbols on edges to startle the book


of 24 hours each page disappears

folding within moment diapers


freckled speckled measurements disperse

undressing the wrappers from silken


nocturnal daylight
