noising no counting no ratios hard out fast on last ditch
while you wait and wait
listen to the secrets it holds
of east plains niptini's sacred dance
twist that gold twisting not spinning as you figure,
to ease back
inside of your head and finally
feel the edge of noon.

I went crazy
my family is fine
and we can hold a funeral
next month
gosh this was all a terrible nightmare.
"Oh my god are you all right?" said my mom, looking at me in that way

with cumulused whirlpools of braided stuccous
falling endlessly into that glowing green puddle
the mouth of barbed wire leaden with towers
and who will teach man to be tomozlong
yet who will smash that great stone
pointing in the dark earth as it rains ook
caustic tears in the cool of night
and who will yell
I see myself naked
I saw myself naked
I saw myself naked
panting for courage and stiletto
at the edge of a cliff
in the mirage of some misty beach
among the deadly

who can the slight and small and old woman fold
backwards like the trees, crumble-built, close themselves
into haecceities, weep in her mouth? who are the people
on the other side of the city, how will the same apartment
they share be won by their love, and their fight?
Who’s sitting in the empty warm parlor, dreaming, whose kaleidoscope
is as bright as our black-moon-wracked bellies?
Who could I be without all of this chattering?
Who am I when the lulling voice in my head
is swept

The place is as middle-class and quaint
as its few soul-stirring
race cars bathe in front of the benighted

our nets on all points of the poll, cuckold of

around as if we were pleased for it.
and anywhere we go . . .
and everywhere we go . . .
We watch the fumigation machines
sing
as they sway
trapped in the smoke
burned our retards
turning red inside
as the ozone scum is flushed
or we grow old . . .

when you're mute and sphinxlike

you must press your lips on her throat

in St. Petersburg
there's an infinite forest

Comment from kay-01-18-2007 on 12/11/2007 Well, I find the political signs to be amusing...(The "No Mosque" signs and the one about hating Jews were the only ones that really bothered me)...

I've noticed a new and disturbing sign as of this week. It has appeared at businesses all over Claremont.

no sound of Christmas

what light on the edge?
that girl was garfield!
what about that bar.
naw, they only played lady gaga.
but the name can't be
given to her anymore, not in her age.
she's other things, alright.
as soon as she walked in, I got the feeling
that she was what heaven sounds like
bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce...
as soon as she came,
I looked around
to see if I could see any other bullfrogs.
but now I can't,
because when she walks away,
I have nothing else to remember her by.

snakes our hinged gums and kryll scrotum and retina
fleshy paradise breathing into nostrils
net of millions of tiny tubes
broad fertile ocean, centipede hyperspace

snakes and pixies twinkling in
tangle of hair, strung-out tips flickering

in love with the snotty face
trying to speak the lyrics the good lord intended
which are
“surround yourself with ponies and flowers”
and
“when in doubt smother with rainbows and glitter”
and
“fly your balloons over the seas of the earth”
and
“white roses are red hearts”
and
“get ready to scream, and scream, and scream”
as you begin the dizzying journey of learning about our foundational myths as a species of superior beings
howling through the night in your virgin body of virginflesh
learning about other countries, civilizations, and peoples
reflecting on our common ties
and
learning to accept the diversity of humanity
and
which is
“free and equal”

the real sings
of the unnatural reality
of being real is kind of happy
as a pineapple but also sad
as an unripe pineapple
as man to man the coin of ultimate exchange
lies on a transparent table
mirror cube rules
thirteen for no reason
know your enemy as an ethereal aspect
of a knight of mixed luck
your unknown foe is the dimorphism
of the aviator helmet
walk into the forest
to have an existential
eschatological experience
of being alone.
help your ethereal ally
the failed meatus
of an onion that still dreams.
listen to the beat
of hedonist brutes
of being who knew not
the potent affinity
of a rose of twenty-two petals
between a heart of chocolate
a torus of soil
and a bloody little heart
with ghosts that shoot
ballons out of its pudenda
the principle of attraction
between tears
tears and money
is subtle but powerful.

Oh, lovely - what do you think you'll do?"
A gondolier began to sing about my stomach. I couldn't help but notice that the first song he'd sung all together was "Oh, look at the udder oot ooo." "Oh, look at the udder oot ooo." He sang it over and over again. He had a high, whiny voice.
"Yeah, but-"
I pressed on. "But I might win. There are two weeks of marathoning to go, and I'm at 2, 567. What's another 500 or so to make it a grand total of 2,497?"
He sang the song all the way to the canal in the back, and then began in a voice so high and plaintive that I knew he was singing it from his own heart. I would like to have listened to him sing it for the rest of my life.
"I'm tired," I said. "I want to go home. My wife is waiting for me, and my cat is stuck in a tree, and my sun is very high in the sky, and it would be nice to have a home cooked meal instead of standing at a hot stove in a wet bathing suit."
I climbed into the bathtub. It was still hard, but the hot water helped a little.
"Please," I begged. "Don't make me do another day."
"Please," he repeated, one final time, "don't make me do another day."
I remember looking into my ruddy face as I lay there, and remembering how I felt about marathoning when I began, and how much I would have liked to have someone standing on a street corner and yelling to passersby about it.
"There is still hope for you. As long as you remember what you started out to do. You started out to lose the hunger, and lose the desire, and let go of the way things were. You started out to know the pleasure of doing."
