Back Then

Back then was training and more
I asked about it connected
actually waking up to now

how could I miss it miss this
run toward compliance
in my wildest dreams
it was a warning
anyway

Look here--

daytime heat moon headache
what else on the list
what to skip

We Went

We went to Siberia to Mongolia
in our chairs by the fountain
at 5th Street Market where she said
she got lost in Provisions

first it was Marche but I changed
my mind
into what is real
clematis
vines doing so well
with a little splashing
in the brick shade
their open blossoms
all ears all music

All Told

When ll
all
a
L
is said and done


How could it have been any other way?

I wore the chillit like I was instructed

I looked

like a scout of some sort

finding the dust and other
unwanted particles.    Still

Even So

The day is the night
and someone else looking towards
a nice past. The other way indeed
what took a lot was not that strict
but I followed the rules anyway.

Once I Was In Alaska

And could not find my feet
everywhere I looked
blueberries the mud puddles
so wide and the creatures
springing from those
bit me many times
until I lost count
counting the days
until night

Free Desert

Imagine that a good place
four people last time too
being wishful thinking
dogs kids three dollar pizza
so that is sixty something off
you should come over this weekend
the old time buffet commercial in N.Y.
on the television all the control corruption

It has to happen really smart imploded
within and die the money showing up

The Feeling

I felt it creep along the two-by-four
and what else could I imagine but somehow
the feeling took over not a thought
not at all. I told myself I would not imagine
a better feeling in all this. It waited for me
to catch up. I looked for trouble
but found none. Found nothing
I could think of. So what could we find
besides the other bunch.
I wonder about everything
that didn't actually happen
but somehow did.
