i When silence falls one says the mind's
a soup, that floats on veal and dances
haughty finite scribblings, space of mal
lards, delirious lapels in white. Blue
stars circulate and chew. The oasis pirate
lives on people, misery & universal meat.
ii definite spongey porridge
I sense that I am no longer an artist. Nascent
idols are nonplussed by furious lyrical tran
sport, so they console themselves with oily
pans and pears. I bleed black. Whisky
is an ideal that sleeps.
iii unique guts
Jesse, that no gun can nail the knee
less acorn down is a lesson only in
dividuals can learn. Quantity isn't every
thing remember! Quixote too had his sticky
black opium, he bets you will run for cover
in the end.
