Convo

When you talk I listen
although I am thinking only
about what else to say what else
is the same thing here and there
when the time is up and there are
pauses what it will be like does that
mean go now run or walk my back
saying nothing but what is up ahead

What you said is so interesting
not really why would you tell me
about your high school I did not ask
what else will I relate what can I say
you liked me already what's it something
I said was it already set in time in place

Usually

Well now the part about night
during the daytime:
pieces bits and meals
between the dates
each day folds into the next
a quarrel could you find one?

Every day is Sunday here
pulling grass
slowly
it will
last.

View

Try eating local bee pollen
it help it is medicine
I eat honey in my cereal
every morning a kick
in the pants we grow more
grass seed than any place
on the planet good pollen
in that other kind Washington
the younger generation
the base on the new trees
force feeding them potatoes
for the shaved potatoes just
that size amazing foamy odd

All About The Mystery

The mystery of Wednesday.
The mystery of ten forty-five.
What else could happen after this moment.
It will be exciting. Waiting. Falling asleep.
Lunch and breaks. How are you today.
Good. You took your harassment test.
When I got hired. Making us guess.
A ton of reading. Several websites.

It might be one of their questions.
About an hour depending on how fast
you can read it you get it wrong you
end up with the right answer no matter what.

Rain, In The

Morning soft sprinkles by the dumpster
two bags easy lifting the grimy lid
no moon as of late so early I could cry
into the tall pines their needles
stick to everything and nothing

What I Thought Vs. What I Said

Tug antagonist tugging
at my heart so unsatisfactory
this speaking when I would rather
listen to everything you're thinking

It isn't always everything to do with me
but it is a lot of nothing in my mind now
time ticking away and all plus the night

So Now It Is Plum

I was thinking eggplant
but isn't that something indeed
or at least a bit too intimate
to be thinking about when knitting
knots and string and loosening
and checking for tautness
what slips easily in and out
with the needles clicking along
small machines in my hands
plus lanolin and all it entails
