The first fossilized bird


I just can't get it up
for nature no more.
Writes the exit
on all the little mallets.
One night Leslie
got up to use the bathroom
quite late. Every taut string
beaten.

I gather goodbyes the way
wind ripped around his hand, turning
what was once flat now joyously
defined in the shape of her
body, or all night I'm up
pasting shadows over my cuts until
I feel like her memory.
All night I'm up turning
worms into gold.

That squirrel got hit
by a car and lay there
by the road until
every summer night stiffened
with frost, and you
stopped waiting for me
to see and now its
snowed-in bones show through,

just a trace of a tail like
the first fossilized bird.

Don't even want
to jerk off.

A morning of beautiful boys


I wake with a sun,

the most beautiful boy in the world.
I have yet to drive you away, I
mention, with my paranoia and
clinging acknowledgement

of scars? No-one has ever
been faithful to me, and so I
killed her with my dead morning calls.
Because I couldn't believe her.

I woke up and trailed
my fingers over my chest.
It made a ghost of sound.
Bright sidewalk chalks.

I was whole all morning long.

You know what they say
about the beautiful boys
and the cracked: we are
their shadows. We run cold
across their beds. Veins
concurrent with
their sex. Who
could be faithful to
a hole?

I want you to know
he's not coming back.

Look into my eyes.
It's the only way you'll know if
I'm telling the truth.

I told the boy I wanted everything
to wake her up to know the stars
to parallel with her a stiller
stream beneath which blankets
working fucking stars to flick
you're not my dad off my silk skin,

to tell that kid Mike and I saw
all alone in his front yard beating
a tree with a branch that the branch
should be forgotten, but the tree

needs you to sit at its
roots, in the shade. There's nothing
to be afraid of.

We live without
pasts here.

Microsoft Offers Reward to Stop Viruses
Wednesday November 5, 12:43 pm ET
By Ted Bridis, AP Technology Writer
Microsoft Announces Creation of $5 Million Reward
Program to Fight Illegal Computer Viruses

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Microsoft Corp. announced Wednesday
it is creating a $5 million reward program to help law
enforcement identify and convict those who illegally
release worms, viruses and other types of malicious
programs on the Internet.
Microsoft said the first two rewards it will offer
will be for information leading to the arrest and
conviction of those responsible for the spread of the
MSBlast.A worm and the SoBig virus unleashed earlier
this year.

The company offered $250,000 rewards for each.

Those two malicious programs attacked computers that
ran Microsoft's Windows operating system and caused
widespread problems for companies and home users
earlier this year.

Microsoft executives made the announcement, flanked by
representatives of the FBI, Secret Service and
Interpol international police agency. Residents of any
country are eligible for the rewards, officials said.

"The malicious distribution of worms and viruses ...
are far from victimless crimes," said Keith Lourdeau,
acting deputy assistant director of the FBI Cyber
Division. He noted that Internet attacks have cost
businesses and home users millions of dollars, with
some estimates putting it into the billions.

Microsoft's software has been the target of the most
serious Internet attacks over the last two years, and
company founder Bill Gates has announced a
"trustworthy computing" initiative to focus on
improving the security of all of Microsoft's products.

Also, Interpol, an international law enforcement
organization, will play a critical role in the program
by helping the world's police forces to share
information.

The role of Interpol is particularly important because
the Microsoft initiative is a global one -- a
cybercrime that endangers national infrastructure and
individuals worldwide.

"Interpol is particularly interested in fighting the
malicious spreading of viruses because this represents
truly borderless crime that requires a truly global
response, a global collaboration between police and
private industry," said a statement by Interpol
Secretary General Ronald K. Noble in Lyon, France.

"This Microsoft reward program is an opportunity to
continue building effective relationships between the
world's police and the private sector in order to
prevent and prosecute cybercrime," it said.

"While some might consider certain cybercrime offenses
to be little more than mischief, they actually
threaten the physical security of all of those who
rely on technology in their lives," said Peter Nevitt,
Interpol's Director of Information Systems and
Technology.

that mercury pause


I guard jealously the morsels
of intimacy left me. A force
spreads light across our faces,

but I don't know what it is
or where it comes from. When

you call me the morning after
I call you so late, so shattered
and afraid, threading that needle

that pricks fear into anger,
EVERYTHING flutters. Now

I toss love off to the corners,
dazed and slow, crying
for fear it die in us, and

most of all I want to kiss you,
taste again that mercury pause

that is your lips in a world of shouting.
If there is a him, if you forget
on a Saturday night or don't want

to lie under the billowing
marshes of loving me,

I spend that Saturday alone.
I feel hot and wakeful with splashes.
