Here in Cubeland

In our maximum office
            our cube walls are toffee.
We’re too new for vacation,
            we do get free coffee.

We do get some sunlight,
            we don’t get a raise,
we get in our workouts
            by running our maze,

where the cheese is a printout,
            the cheese is a meeting,
the cheese is an email
            that everyone’s reading.

In the cube by the rear door
            hangs a sign “Jesus Saves,”
but where in the Gospels
            does He mention wage slaves?

If we render to Caesar,
            all that is Caesar’s
we’ll be fully vested,
            but we’ll all be old geezers.

Kerouac road the rails,
            criss-crossed the land.
We just meekly commute
            back and forth to Cubeland.

At Wal-Mart the Boarded Storefronts and Vacant Lots Come Complimentary With the Deep Frier

Wal-Mart, Wal-Mart,
So many square feet,
Of things you used to find,
Down on Main Street.

They’re buying low in volume.
They’re filling up their coffers.
Our town’s old dry goods store,
Is now the welfare office.

Thank You Coors Light for Your Breakthrough Technology Helping Me to Determine When My Beer is Cold Enough to Drink; Now When Will You Be Curing Cancer?

It wasn’t enough that the mountains turned blue,
As if we hadn’t our hands, as if we didn’t have a clue,
That cold things are cold, and hot things are hot,
If you work at Coors Light, apparently not.

Either they’re desperate dumb oxen or they’re indicting the masses
For not knowing a cold beer from their ears or their asses.
Marketing trains the masses to do what they’re told,
think progress is a label that shows two kinds of cold.

Foundation’s Visitor

My stent is bent, it has a dent. My
gelding’s on holiday; my vices have
been Lent. Cruise control or law,
monkey in the slaw, invaders in the
woodpile, catnip on the paw reading:

Ravine raven, flying South,
Put my arm inside your mouth,
Carry me to your far sea,
Drop me on a nice horsey.

Saddle, waddle, paddle for the putsch,
poodle for a pit bull, leather for the
butch, Heather for a May Queen
pressed inside of Ruth, puddle in
the divot, pudding in the proof that:

Tar goes far when you get it on your car,
When you get it in your ear, it dries until it’s hard,
When you pour it in your mug, it forms a little bar,
When you see it in a negative, it’s lighter than a star.

[poetry before poetry]

poetry before poetry
from the asked adepts
to adapted egrets
to the North neighborhood success

poetry in the should, would and
could we express
our expression
in comets federated

are we not all archives
that reveal
line by line
the equestrian leap of nothing

[there is a house]

there is a house
in Chicago
settling
the night noises
that hope projects

Place Your Hands Upon a Hurricane

There were loose strings everywhere,
hides, tongues and the rest,
the Missing Genie Sayings and Photos
not somewhere 10 miles away.

Where does nothing come from?

The first nine clouds
numbered
somewhere?

Mass amounts of spleen
disappear into sausages and pet food.

Is it time to go buy a pigs head
or
find a printer somewhere?

You’ll find
part of an animal
somewhere in a bag,

their monkey intellects
moved from The Frozen Tundra,

Bloodline Champions
suitably spurting,

and what you now call innards
must someday all fall out
and be filled in.

So find some rubbing alcohol Clementine,
cold hands with reins here and ribbons there,
and the names of the royal lineage,

then place your hands upon a hurricane
in a gesture of pleading.

Punctuality

A cold turtle.

This fell from the sky and into K’s hands

Such is the importance of punctuality in the life of a mortician.

A Loop Can Start From Any Orientation

Hi, I have been trying to find points
with representation
women
in positions of great authority and
carved figures, pattern and adornment,
how different body systems and organs function – from breathing to digestion.

I might adduce an array of whole sentences,
exactly alike in the languages of
authority,
translated through seamless craft
into random
statutes.

(At this point a special thank you goes out to all U.S State Governments on the northern edge of our city.)

In the end, it’s
The story of two –
one beautiful and friendly
interspersed with
flabbergasting
forces
of
ascendancy
behind the proclamations
and rant
about the general state.

That would be Stanley MacKenzie
who became a world authority on millett mixes.

(At this point, let us briefly review what was discovered:
a three-dimensional coil array with each coil at right angles to another, outrage over Othello, right angles on wrong angels and several near-collapsed windpipes).

Take it from me, it takes more than being born to blow a rams horn.
For starters, you need a rams horn.

As snow falls, you are at once convinced of its authority and its
different sounds, guitar riffs and chord progressions,
a large Heart,
The Fall of Cosmo
tugged
with surprising strength,
with the symmetry of a flat tire
in General Altitude Discussion,
a Circular Book Format
rolling counter-clockwise,
Resolving
systematically and athletically
in counter canter.

You are here: Sprays digital tally
Arctic Circle Assistant.

The Square/Circle prevents.

A loop can start
from any orientation
like your wrists
in chilly weather.

In space quoted, “The chimes”

In the face of such times, in the
space by the mimes, in the much
quoted voice of the man who made
the chimes: Watt’s one with the light?
Who’s feasting on fright? I don’t know,
but he’s shiv’ring, and his jacket’s too tight.
The egg made the omelet instead of the bird.
The bullets made trophies of thinning the herd.
The tire surrendered, came out with its lug out.
I don’t know who’s on third, he ran into the dugout.
