Cavil Atmospheres of Pleasant Roofies

so is it clay to Gorboduc
in the roofy's eye
for it was
Flunitrazepam between
Ferrex and Porrex
wearing its
Levi's Silvertab
Marin City shorts

who gripes John Bale
for argument
when all he desires
is one thin Pepsi cola
and baggy loose fitting clothes

King Johan (old skool):
there are many diseases in the ward
take this chicken
with a rubber neck

we gave him in earnest
to a reputable tête
like John Arden wicker waked
and still praising
Pinter's claustrophic Caretakers

there is symbolism in all things
fossils
are themselves
a version of computer memory
or is it Hobson's choice
wearing slip-on Vans
on its way to photograph
one more legislative body

the physical structure of the universe
remains a vague symbol

of the written characters'
inability to communicate
productively with one another
and it heralds a world
that depends more
on dialogue than on action

who chides the woodpecker?
who does fakeyrocks
at the castle half-pipe at dawn
while Jack Palance guides his motor boat
round the mote
pulling a silver hang-glider on a string

what is this dark and silky agent
deploying techniques
to join itself
in treasure

in the end tho
every noun is a verb
to the process

time, place, identity, and language
are ambiguous and fluid
until they aren't:

A TALE OF SOME ROOFIES

ASTON offers the bag to DAVIES.

MICK grabs it.
ASTON takes it.
MICK grabs it.
DAVIES reaches for it.
ASTON takes it.
MICK reaches for it.
ASTON gives it to DAVIES.

MICK grabs it. Pause.

now think about it.
there have been no real intruders, and yet
it is those intruders

you long for most.

now come before the judge
in your stylish
drunken pants
and let it be

let the molecules
like witches
grab hold of the gables
and poor

rubies
where a thin stripe

deef its neck slang
deef deef
in Affenköpfige Schlange
