move 'em emotionally to do that

the front of cause in itself right wrong but
front this haven this cold space time
of disjointed travel of political rant
cause to promise to make keen not pulley
in muscle band nonsense hall full fill
itself back just firmly nob sad wring hothead
right much in doleful circumstance copper tripod forgotten
wrong blindness harm double disgust for women
but guesses mark purpose eat headstone thwart

guesses in time to dance will come by friday with freedom
mark us villains ghost hate reidentify unity
purpose wonderful thank ewe uh-huh beast it's best
eat laughter hide rest wary needs backwards view to grasp
headstone shots behind lover's quarrel basin
thwart gross steps of appreciation tough crime boom coil

 

 

a little air candy

knit & pick
worthy. while.
eaten in seconds flat
like it was that way

where stone women sit
on benches.
& glitter.
happen while prrling
doe does that.
like that.
february in march
the chicken is foul or fouls.
a partially disclothesed body.

a flock of colors:
green & red & aujourd'hui
amber tones or hues.
highlight. accentuate.
more done to it.
in time.
nopqrstuvwxyz (it's
not a part of a word)
i've never. hrrd.

parley boom & loop
all. a. part.
zzzoom!
rude frontage.
fromage (it's better
than cheese - it's french)
canker clamor cook
abcdefghi (starts out like)
ay!

wrrd. up on.
all the rest is
blrr.

 

 

cranky downbeat harry

it then
a tease frame
luster stoppate (at the gate)
mind right tag team
peas cues tissue box
a foreign foray
dark alleys
cats who thread
knit yourself a flea bag
pokey hokey square dance
jocks and friday

a cat called wednesday
miathlons for dummies
curtain coils
daddy said so
it's queer
know name feed thru
back to the front
behind the bend
call for a meatball
chug chug chug chug clug
whomp

mirage and uncles
pantoufle
you see it
now you don't
miracle tread paddy cake
homeless vitamins
sickly pumice stone
akkk akkk akkk
the voice is black
rocky lips & such
ring-a-ling

washing & scratching
gas every test
cycle give into best
cremation
militant bedevils
sheet rocket on the moon
anniversary
hoo!       done it
up
ward gazing
porcupine pie on feathers
claustrophilic underwater
ties times typewriters
equal
unfinished projects are alike
as coffee stains & places

 

 

channeling incoming data

making light when we see an object
increases light levels & lighting quality
light is a system resulting from
light interaction with air:
designing with light, invisible light
(a light retreat)

turning on your heart light
we encounter light in things
circles of light, shadow & light.

light up your brain, pilot light.

there are three basic dimensions of light:
light reading
omni light
catching the light
light that somehow left the object
& reached our eyes
we are actually seeing light

optics. . . the emissary of light. . .
if you brought him out of the cave into the light
things would be less a circle
of light a virtual candle

light pollution on dark skies converge
or focus light. darkness to light
provides digital light processing
the Swiss light source
the distance that light can travel?
light therapy that is fluorescent light
enables discoveries in the world of light

light treatment
light house
light field
you light up my light

in the light & dust anthology of poetry
too much light shines into the sky
the facility that will light the way
to a new era renders star light & magic

receive the light!
the light & the life
the light of the party
light party:
how light pollution affects birds

light measurement instrumentation
is a mountain of light
a light recording of light rays
velvet light trap lights up the future
with light green advisors

the light field is a 4D function

 

 

how to sink a ship

it's complicated when you imagine all the possible solutions
all the possible solutions are complicated by imagining that they're not alone
they're not alone because of the complications
the complications are wide & varied & you can't even imagine some of them
you can't imagine some of them because there are some that you know about
& some that are kept hidden so you never find out
you never find out about them because someone doesn't want you to
someone doesn't want you to because s/he knows that if you hear about
some of the complications that you don't know about you'll change your mind
about things that are important to someone's livelihood
but knowing about those things is important to your livelihood
but still you aren't told unless someone else sends you an email to tell you
someone else sends an email to tell you because s/he knows that it is important
to your livelihood because it is important to hers/his too

so you get an email that directs to information that causes complications
that affect all the possible solutions & you read things that you didn't want to
& even though you didn't want to you're glad you did
you're glad you did because it opens your eyes to hidden complications
& makes you question the someone who so carefully hid them from you
it makes you question her/his motives for hiding this information from you
& it helps you to understand that you need to think up new possible solutions
in addition to thinking up new possible solutions you need to find others
others who have been privy to the new information & complications that you have
& who will help you to form a voice to introduce others to this new information
that someone has kept from you for unknown reasons
& which someone else has shown you because s/he knows it's important
to your livelihood & the livelihood of others
(although you should questions her/his intentions to an extent, too)

this new information often comes with pictures that you don't want to look at
but you look at them because you know it's important to see
what someone is trying to hide from you & to help you figure out why
well, you can never really figure out why completely but you can try
you can try to figure out how this information helps you
& hurts the someone who was trying to keep it from you
this will help you & others like you who you have found to help you form a voice
to come up with possible solutions that involve the complications
& provide solutions that take into consideration your own livelihood
& the livelihood of others like you
