No recess

If you want to fight, pass me the potted geranium.
"Peace man" Paul said and
      averted something on his way home.
I broke a beer bottle by blasphemy.
They went in through the nose.
Conversation continued.
It blows. She blows. I blow.

As school began I fell into a sweaty depression.
This driving is driving me crazy
and the parking, a crime against humanity
The neighbours say "hello" and show
what they know with their noses
made jam out of roses
left in a bag on the stoop
bloody & sweet
a present goes into the future.
We eat.

.

Those branches
tickle & swat
anger germinates a testy mentality.
It made us feel nappy.
A manic drain pipe drumming.
"His tongue extends from one end of the universe to another"
"His robes smell like he's been fried & battered"
Blessed be the creator of the cane toad she

.

Militarism in the sky
church bells in the breeze
the Pope in Vienna is sorry
the dogs bark in chorus
(the animal carillon is querulous)

a dry mouthed sybarite
our syllabi are cataleptic
a long-haired cat sneaks into your bed
his wit unlimited runneth over my head
the sea bats hardly a wave.

.

"Don't be afraid, I'm an excellent shot"
Death has a horse's head
A bull at the gypsy ball.
In the ruins, torn by the horns
her hand directs the traffic of talk.
The professor in pyjamas projects an importunate stance
circumstances his despair & comes to nothing.
My heart is a silverfish     it judges
and swish
At the mountain of fire & miracles
equines declined to show.
Spin gossamer spheres of spermatozoa.

The college quad. Noon. Shady looks.
Silverfish lunch on glue dandruff books

.

"Gorge us ... tyranny of bliss"
Tears and noblesse
whose shoulders widen as Houdini's
the pari-mutuel escape
pays 3.20 on 2
15 voices too many "innumerable bees"
To someday describe a great arc
what's honey    or a seed     between us
we'll do it if we start at the beginning

stones left on windows     stones
left on graves     and lost in grass
"maybe rain" "yes, take in the wash"
painting the walls his spiritual colors
"scorch us invisibly rhyme rime"
falls and springs move     summers linger     winters

.

re-evaluate real estate in the enlarging light of the moon
best of luck in all your future whatevers
who art a piece of wood on a piece of stone
"ecologjammin"    the green grade
his tongue extends across the universe
and leaves a sticky paste
Galileo wrong    to make change    it revolves around you
      each sun

"extinguished himself by hard work and dedication"
share a butt     lube jube jibetude
sliced like a potato
  sultanas baked in
to the sweet empyrean

"but then I tip a dollar"    tune a fish
hopin it's Chopin     in bed all morning

.

unreal fears   spires staple the sky
faceted upholstery    steeped    lay
in the yellow bed of a pickup truck
summer butts out    onionskins cool mcintosh
under burlap    ostler    smoke and soup
a blue dot tacked to the mountaintop
flaming sausage and bindi bop
a polka prevents us from hostelry
honesty elopes to hope     "race fast safe car"
