Thank you for not saying

The illegal in
your coverage qualifies
as a response.
Walking is
exercising society’s
judgment.
The sirens blare
for no reason
and then the
sirens just blare.

You are popular
but you provide
just one of
many possible services.

If we focus
on grammar there
will be an
end to racism
and America, the
ones with the guns.

e-ticket in the sky

Words are this crap that haunts you through life.
A poem is where you take your revenge on them;
honor one global transformation in yet another country,
a perpetual celebration.

Disneyland will never
be complete as
long as there is
imagination left
on this earth.

I just wanted to spend time alone with my children and with language

Based on "love poem" by Linda Pastan

I want you to break
a love poem as hedgehog
as our craw
after thaw the
when we stand
it's dangerous.
Watch it
with it every wig
every every
in its ass,
every scruple
when we read lit crit
so well
with eyes
that are even as we speak
we do
each other thing
but that
We webelos
we belong
if we would just
fall down.

I'm making the mistake of going through drawers

This is a poem I did in 1997

Sudden Violence

Things chnage to suit the needs of corruption.
With or without synapses you are a hypocrite
of respect and caring. Your typing is terrible,
I think you want me to tell you what to do.

you’re looking at it as if it means anything other than turn it off

God give me the courage
to understand the
four short line stanza
and write a pleasing one for you.

Experience is mostly not for me
So I said the same thing twice.
What has the four short line stanza
done to me? Tell about it.

Nothing to read out of chapter 9.
Lonely amputee of love.
Unlike or without as good as
second language of love.

We were here on business,
in the matter of being punished.
America doesn’t try to pretend
an ethical life in poetry,

You shouldn’t either.

Today we're in the nanoworld

When you put it all together
14 terawatts
this is something
to think about.
What happens after we peak?
That's an important question
we’ll get back to that in
a moment.
As you try to land in certain
airports around the world,
the more troublesome aspects
We call them ice ages.
The earth is a very flexible
planet. We have time to solve
this problem we have to
think of ways.
You lost me.
Photovoltaic conversion
I'm kind of optimistic
that we'll solve this
problem this topic, his
radar screen.
Some bad things might happen
like that.

Night of the Living Bloomberg

I should join a cult.
It's only at the beginning - America the racist Utopia.
My heart just isn't in it, maybe it's all
this addiction, but I'm not going
to insult your intelligence or care
about your health. Playing hardball
would only help if you were close.
No earplug could keep you out.
I want to hook you up to the matrix
and talk to you about language.
You perished.

This poem from 99/00 was found behind the bookcase.

Are your friends
your friends if
they're not reading the
same texts?

She's like an ass
if she gets this
it won't matter we're
not reading the same
text.
I'd love to mediate a
relationship through the
instability of language
but it depends on
your personality style.
I thought it would
be ironic to write
this in the straightforward
style.

My Name is Your Daughter

Love destroys value
always & in a new exploitation genre
The only secret is the one you keep from the public
for complying with the police
your sentence is reduced
CSI Miami surrounds language
But it will only surrender to the cast of the
original CSI (better lighting)
You were forced into something I could never have.
This is the genius of self-humiliation.
I'm ready for my close-up, language.

Instead

Instead, already yellow, the
urine hits it again.
What happened in the name of evil?
I like the way - you talk it appeals to me.

You Light Up My Lie

Did you stage the utterance?
I'll teach you to stage the utterance.
I'll teach you to stage the utterance.
Do you know the lover at work?
Can we see the lover at work?

It doesn't take much to fall asleep.
This is a modernist discourse,
Similar to the rump in advertising.
I think you understand the meaning of music,
I think I'll accuse you of understanding the meaning of music.

Gentrification Finally

I'm not even from the place I don't want to be from.
You came here to call me by name
But I actually thought my name was you suck.

I built a distopia out of John Lennon & Yoko Ono.
It felt good to keep you from it.
It felt good to kill them both.
They deserved each other.

The honeymoon isn't over but
I had to hide the hashish in the woods.
I'm not going to lie in bed
at night & make you a moving diary

I used to be over there.
I approved of one of these countries.
It's no big deal
Thank you for helping me.

I couldn't be more surprised.

You may say that I'm a
dreamer but only in the
sense that I fall asleep
and think about having sex
with people.

There's something horrible that
rubs up against disavowal.
