VOG

my front to fertile view
bomb target island
shrouded in vog

earth g ro wing& turning over worlds
of itself at tremendous rate

insect unions consume management
arbitrating their regurgitations

like humans voracious rational insanity
starflow eats dull prussianblu
eyes

toothpick between notes of
whistled treesong

gerrymandered state of shhhhhhhhhh
ear sensation keeping

amerika amnesiac in diesel
premonitions, helping all go on i guess

to a point in time where
the littered site is
gifted back to the non howlie natives


1994, maui, overlooking an island used for bombing practice

hermit crab

wilted under a shell
torn thru the eighth tangle
these kami whisper
cricket freeway-feeder sounds
around oahu's gocart track
vroom vroom
mindsplices to crave indulgence
&muster dilligence seen in
spiritual acts of researching
spellings, symbolic logic,
face full of marbles of water
sputtered high over
apartment towers
familiar in seventies TV



1994, maui

the guffaw of reason

after intelligence has feigned
the last vestiges of integrity& his bloat

is rusted full of collateral pollutions

the mind walks away across
clean sands to help
baby back
to sleep(

isis gecko-guffaw from upperbalcony)

dollarbills defoliate onto ritzy
waikiki stalls

matching the absurdity of shopping,
tier pricing, these words

command inner astronomy
a goddamned gecko's giggle equal-accessing

consciousness sugar
bleached bleating refined


maui, 1994

dumbern' dirt

token planet ruler spermbanks collapse

discredited in future dis
-interest of their poor
-tential, disinfected by time

the They who are the Say
seed sky with Love
to monopolize Life, out

-growing portfolio
stockades

yer folks dumber'n dirt& less usefull than sandbags when oceans
rise to gobble
costdriven coastal
infections,

tension dis

reality dissention.


1994, maui

carry me away

carry me on your wings trembling with notes of joy
carry me on the soles of your feet as you trample us
carry night with a spoon until the lake of luscious is lapping
carry a murmur over the bristled grinding traffic of everymen
carry songs and their updrafts will ignite the arms and palace
carry moves in your stocking so they are easily reached
carry my head in a nest of rested explosions
carry momentum until gravity rips my skeleton from my earth
carry yourself with regal purpose and meet the stars
carry a palm with a question boiled into the fingerprints of essence
carry delusions loosely and allow them to migrate like comets
carry bits of wood and form worlds from plucked motes
carry every sentence as if the diapers will fall off
carry instruments with a grip and never a gripe under the moonless orchestra
carry passive rainbows to plaster over the damned city of heart
carry a jillion poems in your movements and i will
carry a few of them to the oracle and she may
carry the fallen toward passions reborn of rootstock and silver,

carry and be carried for i collapse to build and carry
the debris of creation from mission to fission

blood ticking a living

one makes a living by selling death in a bought market
fraught or not with fraud and applause resounding
until the livid have maids pulling up the coroner's sheets

to the dismay of the rabble
comprising the effete gargantuan populace
clapping their lips like indentured servants

who can't spell their whey out of the cheesebags under eyes
meant to shine, to varnish sublime, to weedwhack spines
stooped for pigeon feeding and large change

rendering the life in brushstrokes that keep the canvas dry
and easily chewed by truly hungry alarmists
wound up and ticking the blood for all it is worth
