When darning is damned
And all the bumps man-made and rounded
When the snags are most snarled
And the dogs slump home for supper
The sun will have settled
The snow will be banked and browning
See the light
It is from a torch
And the torch-bearer will be your friend a while
See the water
It is fresh
Because this is that kind of story
The brackish bogs are in your dreams
You brought them here
And the rotting and the mold and the spore of all those other things
Everything breaks down if you have the time
What are you doing with that?
And will it be enough?

The Things Wicked Does
Is it rude
This when if these these from to that which
Where where where where
When the jokes stopped being funny
But the balconies stayed
The way you shoot your jump shot or bank around a sharp turn
From that which from those from we all are watching and waiting and celery
And then hovercraft
And then invisibility
And then telescoping and juxtaposing and parallaxing even though we're on top of each other
My atoms, your atoms
Whose which which that where separation is a state
Then which then where again then to and from and through before we're through
Your meal on the stove top too long
Your drink inching toward room temperature
One man's opening up is another man's
One houses door is out front
This when if these these from to that which
Where where where where
When the jokes stopped being funny
But the balconies stayed
The way you shoot your jump shot or bank around a sharp turn
From that which from those from we all are watching and waiting and celery
And then hovercraft
And then invisibility
And then telescoping and juxtaposing and parallaxing even though we're on top of each other

One man's opening up is another man's

What Can We Stop
Where can we stop?
Crazy conversations
True farewells
Trusses over transoms
Some group of people over a larger group of people
Listings and the First Man
I mean a collection of living things
Icing
A gentle circular motion

Hey, What's Up with You
Circles vs. cycles
Cuts of meat, prime or otherwise
The number one, by definition
Chicago vs. everyone else
All the branches of all the libraries
What napkins do
Sunlight on leaves vs. sunlight on pine needles
Beds after beds after beds
My hand on top of your hand and we're gonna jump
Just another Tuesday
Just another train ride
Just another flood
In response to heat
In response to anguish
We all waste

How Am I with the Present Tense
I mean, a dry heat
Filial responsibilities
Fealty, realty, reality, ranches
Rental homes are homes
Renegade anything
Giacometti tastes
The way things smell when they age
Pins and needles but the pins most of all
The end of an era isn't how I'd pronounce it
Balcony, PA, uniforms, blue skies, and lines and lines of machines
It doesn't matter if it's a sunset or a sunrise because bunnies and decks and vases and faces and old ladies and young ladies and the green square is the exact same color actually
I mean
You are
Actually
Tall

Counterfeit Luxury Goods
Really? This is something you want me to worry about?
Keep on making decisions that'll make you Proust
Long days, long nights
Short days, long nights
Early mornings and the things people do
Scratch and scratch and fingerprints and breathing
I mean, again and again and again
I mean, again and again
I mean, that's the easiest thing
An anvil drops on someone's head
A piano
A marching band
Like memories
Like go

Mall the Things Unsaid
Maul the things unsaid
Mail them
Text a landline
All the dead letters and dead alphabets and dead-end languages
All the cages and curtailments
All the weather across all the habitable land and all the plants in between
Shipping lanes and Airstream trailers and all manner of roadside attractions
Saturated and unsaturated and context and filler
All of it context and contest all of it
That license, what is it for?
Those keys
Those vistas
Of course of course of course of course
All the better to highway you with

Making a Yearly Day a Year
A whole yearling and a bag in the river
Then a bag of leaves and kitchen scraps
Then someone always leaving the scene
And then rain and then dissolve, black
When did we get so obsessed with origin stories?
A bird, a flower, a raven, a fox
TFW a major corporation flirts with the occult
Transportation + elevation + organization
The lineage of logistics
The fact that Mendel made the numbers up to tell the story
People running around everyday changing the world
And then changing it again and then again and again and again
There's someone named Nobody
There's that memory you misplaced
And scene

I Mean, Yeah, I'm Tired
I tried + the sun's down + the dog is sleeping
I'm more a cat person, but "the cats' are sleeping" wouldn't tell you much
Some days are longer than others
Some foods, I shouldn't eat
Not because I don't like them, unless they are creamed corn, but because they don't like me
Words words words
There's a wet paperbag, a death trap, and the place where walls meet
Go

A Stickler for Stuck
Start with A
Meditation-like
Kindness toward strangers
Like likeness left losing
Emancipation
Memory foam
Martyrdom
Micro-minis
Maryland, the state,
Taking special care with the gaps
Minimum wage stalemates
How traffic works and real estate prices
Everything beautiful is unnatural
Everything beautiful is natural
Everything beautiful is simple
Nothing is simple
Saturday is soon
The litigation is just out of control
Will you look at it?
Will you look at it?
Will you look at it?
Will you look at it?
Will you look at it?
Will you look at them?

Waisting Isn't Really a Word, Is It?
There used to be British people
And we'd talk about it
There were flowers and people from Algiers and fancy little things on the cuffs of shirts
There was the future and the far-future and there was land all over the place
Time was time and space was space and there was dancing
Long, long rows of tables with their benches
Someone invented this device that let you type with one hand
Someone else had this great idea for the telephone
Your father was a lens grinder and you ate well

Be Still
Grass of all lengths
The way your pets breathe when they're sleeping restfully
All the long words, all the short words
Arms vs. armature
Against all odds no matter what you say
Can you look at me now?
Everything drains that drops
To your side, on your side, on your back, on your side again
Ball joints at the corners and a pen in your hand
Here and here and a dotted line and here
Gather
Gather until it matters
And then go
All the men named David, and they all twist their bodies just so
All the men named David, and they all look into the distance
The way your pets breathe when they're sleeping restfully
All the long words, all the short words
Arms vs. armature
