the sound
propounds
the street
    litter
 car horns
     metal
    chrome
a steel shopping cart
   filled with dirty pillows
  your shoes are new
 and stoned
   you walk by
   on your way
somewhere
 a radio plays
out a car window
   bitches brew
     you beat the time
      on your
left ventricle
      

At The Zoo


feeling
 the stolen thought of Mercury
feet a-wing
  - stay
the calculations
of baby lion proportions
Horace
  the Lion's roar
    the great beast
 feet away
    could knock one down
     save the bars
        here for a wheelbarrow of meat
at 2 pm

the envelope
of not being sleepy
   was creased
      and yellowed
at the bedside
 was a licked stamp
    waiting for an address
yawn


  

the capricious
dead end street blues
   played on a pine tar guitar
     using 1968 as a pick
        singing in the woods
            "Hello New Hampshire,
                good-bye America."

somewhere
on the gray satire
    stood the ace of fogginess
a hand dealt
  by the bay
 

I crafted a broken reprisal
to all your inadequacies
and saw
 just the paper
  

swift blue carrion
 a breach
of Joni Mitchell's Hejira
   album

 a farcical contribution
to the amelodious syncopation
    - stage left- two baroque lutists
engage in a game of parcheesi

Ka wahine ʻai honua

everything gets forgotten
those of us who remember
stand at the crossroads
of the past and the present

Jerry at Winterland, 1977. I snuck my strobe flash. I think the band was surprised.

"Sometimes the lights all shining on me!"

the forlorn readymades
  watched the night sky
drip
next to Dali's yellow
 Datsun 610 wagon

a newly discovered
amsterdam portrait
  purchased at auction for
185,000
is probably worth
  a beautiful day 
in ___________

 some sneeze
  by Man Ray
    in Hollywood
went unnoticed
 by local police
the papers reported
June 6th 1943

crystal magic fever 

 on the eve of his birth

   seemed a long way from yesterday 

but the news was still in the 

eyes 

tear stained 

                        and holding a cotton rabbit 

   the washing machine 

    was not paid for 

                                       but the shotgun was loaded 

  tv was always on 

we did the best we could

just happy to have water and sun
