Laughter
I dream of shooting you,
full, heavy, veins following
history as it rots on our eyes.
I dream you fall over with a
"yes, sir!" There's just not
that much more to it:
light ripples through trees
like laughter in a fall-out
shelter, probing slow fecund buds
for the clutch of meaning. It roars
like airplanes in our hearts. Feeling
is one way to fly without wormwort
or totality, frequent miles tuned in
to our eyes blossum'd with temporary
sentiment, and
these bodies were made to fit
like this. Your breath such soft
bullets on my skin. I dream you
rain on me, alone in my endowment:
I'd kill to be a genius, to ride
planes from one side of the room
to the other, high above
the dirty workers and their beer
in cans, erased from daily
conversing. Instead I convert
file extensions. I memorex
the protocol. I dream
of shooting you down so you fall on me,
who stands here straining up with an open mouth.

Food for Cars
The day the sun fell down boom on the sidewalk
writhing. It looked just like a baby, a bright baby
who knew how to talk and how to sit up and how to tie
her shoes. No-one picks up the sun, or holds it,
because it's just too hot. That heat will eat us, we
say. That heat will burn us away.
The day the sun fell down boom on the sidewalk,
writing started to look like a thicket from which we'd
never emerge. Sure, I woke up as usual, examined the
illicit downloads, made coffee, but only because I
know how much you like detail. In the mouths of all
the neighborhood ravens USB cables slick like early
morning erections pressured the government into
colonizing a people far away. The coffee was good
though, as I'd practiced it sadly to tailor our
tastes.
That day we filled our car with blood. It ran well.
We drove it. The sun fell down and it was a child who
had no shoes. She was crippled.
At the mall my people shuffled through aisles of
bright goods. All the light had flattened and gone
cold, and I thought maybe all these fabulous goods
weren't so fabulous; I thought maybe they were flat
and cold. It was warmer that day than it's ever been.
All my people were sweating, and the sweat ate some of
them away.

Self-esteem in the Office of Homeland Security
It's smoky and gross out
here! " Metabolism complained.
I got a new orange lighter
yesterday. The blaze was contained
in a setting as tranquil as Patriot
missles would allow. Tighter
parrots would kick over salt-
rimmed glasses, stinging her eyes.
He reasoned that it wasn't HIS fault
those kids near Virginia Beach died
of such a supple flu, as Great White
played on, and on. All Metabolism
wanted to know was: how quickly
can we get through this? A child,
HIV-positive, gets sneakily missing
and without her head to guide us
sits up in a Carolina woods. Kissing
makes any space it folds in mild.
"For god's sake, peasant, open
the window!" she bawled. But it was
just another advertisement, for
something called space.

Fleet
The war's saw-toothed shadow wads
itself up as it snows again, throws
itself almost out, but for the oblivion
white means to say in its honest moments.
The inevitable comparisons with milk
and that other product of pulled udders,
pearls
and the breath of the dead (war
says hi!), uncrumple like beloved bills
slapped to a drugstore counter in exchange
for Fleet enema. The old men so happy
to watch youth burn up the underbrush
on new territory like to keep things
to themselves. If the generals had it
their way, it would snow long and deep;
drifts of sudden economy to lighten the trenches
of the dead and their secrets.
