An ant at the bowling alley only
name in lights winning points
soon forgotten at the snack counter
ankles frozen in foam past pretend
after a few seconds OK happy
at the dunes before the damp.

Survivor: Brains Beauty Tribe
Strong drum beats sorrow
from caves animals back
west wind temple
earth mover shape
shift collector them they
calling all calling.

Those Birds
Just before moon
flying too fast get home
settle against leaves
minutes counting feathers
smoothing the day gone
night loves shadows
water ripples the chase

I Am Animal Wonder
Force could tell of forces
a tongue of another tongue
language on the edge of death
a language spinning blue
words don't die just won't lips
songs of grandparents parents
dead or missing found here
another chance was it ever
my tomorrow rattling

Broken Cafe
They sat there in the dark
a decade after the facts
listening lost
remembering before
was it singing or was it
musical weeping
nobody could mention
breaking what was already
gone made it back
before venturing out
to the bright noxious.

Speak, Archipelago
Backwater backwash byway backstroke
sweating way below ten ten vital data
Hope a promise a future where drones
summarize it all for the books remember
Someone at sometime somewhere supposed to have
sampled sized-up for the chart to see if it correlated
Matched what sort you were supposed to be in
which category with a check mark placed neatly
Beside the day what's it worth what's the payoff
moon writing symbols into the water if you stare
Long enough a good angle it could be studied
night did it capture a focus group question mark
sweating way below ten ten vital data
Hope a promise a future where drones
summarize it all for the books remember

No Chai Left Behind
Someday they'll toast
buckets of brew
a spicy elixir
this poem or that
meant a library
expiration dates renewed
stains tears damage noted
fines charged
all that elegant vanilla
under the bridge
dog paddling
to catch up to ginger
cardamom cloves
black pepper
cinnamon.

Change Enough
For the machines
beyond the doors
they found a pocket
inside a grand experiment
unraveling domestic
buttons simple
to operate
activating love
sixties a continuation
she said
no longer so lonely
hungry machines
together they
matched
until one
got stuck on soak
spin cycle
flooding
that one time
too much

Crumbling Shrill
Birdsong steady
each call
corrected
Who could know
see small song
hope climbing
Escape my attempt
to join up spaces
fly from
Rabbit duck swirl
reindeer migrate
towards these

Sleight Out Of Hand
Caught up in tree in nest in branches
before nest before tree could be
tree branch tree as branch west wind
through tree blowing singing blossoms
overwhelming adhesion to think tree
wind into absence the requirement
common I did not realize contradictions
worry tangling with spectator failure
notions of location or notions of love.

Are Always Rich On My Mind
Happiest loving
did not realize hunger
American easy-going
could not tell did not care
where pretense began
contrast no real obligation
facing jive data misreports
numbers jumbled tabled.
Lovers study another view
facts in Vienna of struggle
humbug paths led to true life
to accordance to taradiddle.

The Sharks The Jets
Sleeper
woke up
disturbed

but those
were sounds
of the dog
I heard
funny Valentine

American State
Mostly relief
hearing
familiar language
then to run
in the opposite
direction in a way
after the trip to Vienna
standing was nearly free.

Up the Downhill
An elevator of trees
took me away
from the river
its problems
far from the station.
It was good to walk
from Waldhaeuser Ost
it meant progress a plan
measured metrically.
Once I asked someone
could I have the fallen plums
in your yard to make a cake
they also say garden instead.

Exactly Oblique
Conference on the cliff
lecture on Marquez
angle
of meaning
somewhat technical
a fancy version of my name
I was hopeful to find out
now there's this now there's you

Waldhaeuser Ost
In another time
grapes will come
already peeled
life has good plots
not like life at all
the way
to Bebenhausen
shorter
through forest
past large mounds
their sign posts
explaining
nothing
leaves
peacock colored
even outside
of fall
someone
walks ahead
not even ready
to turn around

Moon Ink
The water was clear
there would be clarity
moon showing through
opal landscape of edges
moon matching only.

Super Dupe
Let's just say
when they start
your investigation
report review meeting
asking if you've read
Profile Of An Effective Teacher
and wait
for your answer
while you float
in rhetorical space
lengthening into days
no matter
you'll lose
Unless it is the bones
of your ancestors
Offer up
nod affirmative

Ed von Sydow
Little patch of green
across the church
where nobody built
yet I thought
of something.
It was not clear
because mirrors
their splinters
candles puppets
their struggles.
Plexiglas now protects
the Black Madonna.
Returning there
was overwhelming
home is where
it's hard to sleep.
