She listens to “The Power of Poughkeepsie” tapes in her Miraclesuit™ (after “The Poem” by George Oppen – as suggested by Google)
Dashmask,
sickraven, the caterpillar’s soft steps
I
love thee like a home burial poem
Can
you really summarize the rain?
How
Annandale went out and learned to sweep the floor
Haiku
hunter, how to be alone with your grammar
He
wants to liberate the earth from civilization
Shark
tank parishioners linger in New Zealand with folded hands
Killing
flies like you, the candles throw in their music
Light
travels like an unwelcome discography
Fat
thistles, wild with romantic swag in a republic of suffering
The
end of days is a structure we can measure
Like
body fat, matter, what we’ve lost, temperature, acres, audience
Acquainted,
abbreviated, bees walk through Galileo’s yellow bible
This
is not meant to be a theory or a factual statement
She
is miserable and microwave safe and miracle-ized
The
Jesus Bible Tankini
Were
we created by extraterrestrials?
Were
we meant to eat meat together in a past life?
Were
we just wasting broken hearted time?
Neolithic
revolution, we vote on a hypothesis of tomorrow
Hopping
arctic compass parabola, Batman
Indigo,
cosine, derivative, crimp, shine
Thistleheads
and wrecks, even god is deprived of place
Things
invented by accident:
space,
the number 3, Central Park, the sky, the ocean, this coming weekend in
Manhattan
I
miss the things hidden in money
Burning
plasma, burning mouth syndrome
The
Buddha bass tab on shiny toy guns
Lyrics
yell for weed control, ignorant devices
We
are not eaten by yaks, not amused and not alone
You
are not statistically significant
Sticky
rice lip gloss, stilettos, stillborn, stinkbugs
Starless,
this is the place for the writer to handwrite their name
The
river begins like a book, its scaffolding, staging
Watermark,
wish, wound
Two
dots scream at each other
The
door smiles at her amnesia bones
The
wind contains additional commands, willows
Smooth
orange synonyms are your horses
Outrageous
drinking games involving otters
Limitless
walkthrough zombie Sasquatch annihilation
Cut
breath fantasy gamer
Hope
is inorganic, so simple, our idleness
Is
it really unlawful to duplicate this key?
An
unknown mortal orchestra
Armies
of artists and their alphabets
All
the question marks started to sing
The
Styrofoam began to melt away, and saints said “whoa”
Furled
this last syllable of recorded time
and
the least penetrating form of radiation you should know about in English
Verses
like dangerous branches
At
the mall there was a séance to find the least random number
Newspapers
were once ships, commonplacing
Taproots
among beauties, Nike married a striping machine
Self-immolation
as a photographic protest
Brightness
brushes coastal bedrooms, the sky burns after reading
Shell
scripts in darkness strategy
Is
the light from a lightbulb coherent? The
sky is polarized
Incandescent
monochromatic ohmic
We
live in an invented America
The
diaper bag is also on fire
Insolence
pixelated, water cycle, the weekend never dies streaming
The
rose fought between the warmth of other suns
Unsaid,
brides forget in slow motion
Bridesmaids
carry Carnival Cruises to America
Buffoonery
oxidizes
The
appearance of an organism is its consensus
Guests
trade silence in the facial flex dictionary
She’s
a sentimentality virgin, landlocked hours
Language
lives on moats, the wild Venezuela office message
Out
of sleeping pills, we’re deductible
