DO YOU NEED MUSIC
to classify things other than
conversation
her
half alight
striking
a geranium

in the duet
sometimes
if it touches the realm
the tug of
the tension between
pathway
and absence
gestural and chemical signaling

behavior through sound
characterized by
blunting vision
the rhapsodic irrational character of the
expectation and wish
balanced between
simple language and
light off the back of the eye

leaking into the dark
the difficulty of being
effervescent
the difficulty of being
a unique quality of a painted image
the difficulty of being
energy that
apprehends the world

buried in a ring of letters

buried in a ring of letters


This did not come out as I had necessarily envisioned it. The letters need to be larger and less dense. I don’t know when/if I’ll redo it, as I’ve kind of lost interest in this particular concept.

the woods are wolves

the woods are wolves
they hold no trees
just wolves buried
up to their knees

and howling, howling
all night long
for some a howl’s
a lonely song

for some
a howl
can never be
too long

candle, candle

candle, candle
burning bright
I’m scared of you
you give me fright

I’m too afraid
to even shout
candle, candle
please blow yourself out

one thing above another

one thing
another

The Continuing Adventures of Detective Frank Green

One doesn’t press the grapes for
evidence of the wine,
especially when the grapes are
clearly tagged as evidence themselves.

I’m Detective Frank Green.
I used to work Vice.
Now I work Homicide.

And nothing pisses me off more
than when some gung-ho s*&t for brains
improperly handles a key piece of evidence
allowing a cold-blooded killer to walk free,
putting him back to the streets where he can –
AND MOST DEFINITELY WILL – kill again.

You hear that Perkins?

each raindrop

each raindrop
has
its own view
of rain

as what is seen
will never be again
although so close
although so same

each raindrop
comes back
a different
rain

as what was once
can never be again
although so close
although so same

a sprinkle is needed after every four uses of sparkle

a sprinkle is needed
after every four uses of sparkle,
for studies have shown a sparkle
can begin to loose its sparkle
right after the fourth sparkle
a sprinkle is needed…

The Continuing Adventures of Detective Frank Green

What are a young hare, a young falcon, and a young owl called?

If they have paid or agreed to pay money
in exchange for the performance of sexual acts
they are called guilty of Solicitation.

I’m Detective Frank Green.
I work Vice.
The night shift.
I bust hookers, their pimps and their johns.
It’s a living.

I know there’s peer pressure to begin engaging in
sexual activity and that pressure can only get worse
when you are a virgin and are about to graduate from
college, but the law is the law, and if I catch you –
I’m gonna bust you.

And besides, you don’t want to
go through life knowing that
your first time
you had to pay for it.

nobody run at the run

there was nobody run
at the run today
nobody run
at the run

there was nobody left
who didn’t already leave
no body left
who didn’t already run

there was nobody
everywhere
no body knew
the nobody next

there was no where
of every home
nowhere’s the home
the body left

there was nobody run
at the run today
nobody run
at the run

there was nobody run
at the run today
nobody run
at the run
