new poem 1.1

held, helio presume. goer.
parnassus. which endlessness.
which ends somewhere. for once.
absent. which ‘why’ applies?
gratias multiflora. meaning nothing.
quota. perhaps immanent—perhaps not.
dardanelles--crossing of which where?
deploy is carnival--temporal temporary—
resists inert issue allocates.
duckpin blotted humanitizing elocution-mopping algae
the function for which…
aisles opt melded & hundreded lapidary converts wait, waiting.
so much waiting radio gleam—
cluttered gallon huddles.
reductions whither blunt arrangements one at a time.
time which was absence—or absent.
can't decide.
if it's necessary to decide then some will.
correctives await in the referrals.
the referrals go nowhere.
a ghostly paradox is resolved of itself.
on its own…
there is absolution of correction…
the correctives red-shift elsewhere.




new poem 1.2

it is so utterly quiet. sky flails, publicly.
recurring dross. old
scholar. commence. priors.
those flurrying about. contrasts
with artists.
an opportunistic glance. worrisome.
go nowhere. noes amidst fullness.
while stunted. capable. incapable.
reactionary decision.
which mod arrival? entity.
illbient and concrete.
flounder on toast.





new poem 1.3

each rolling history. thematic so it describes.
of pairings in detail. combinations define. motions inscribe.
the telling & stately. which evidence…
portions where?
they’re alternatively hungry. is no use.
though it indicates.
omnibus. those that rest.
motions are inserted where details inscribe.
no other.




new poem 1.4

relative to.
that of.
willing.
not.
happens.
though.
an nth precedent.
tied to.
otherwise.
matching too.
then a crane flies by.
met on a network.
somewhat somewhere.
no knowledge though able.
hat-trick.
none that flee.
imperative.
defensively paradoxical & storage.
endless summer.
detente therefore itself.



new poem 1.5

each rolling history.
thematic in describes.
of pairings in detail.
combinations define.
motions inscribe.
the telling & stately.
evidence… portions where?
they’re alternatively hungry.
is of no use.
though indicates.
omnibus.
those that rest.
motions insert where details inscribe.
no other.



new poem 1.6


...commences then. at that pont.
molecule. infinitives in tryst.
collecting the whole. the precedent is none.
a near miss while driveway. contraption wholly bungled.
coinciding. see what?
they rollover seeing an implausible routine.
scumble. prosody’s contact. beset with grommet's willingness.
a somatic voiceover, breathy. in a chorus, a document, ‘a’ follows ‘b’. ach! that's not it. is it. they are then’s some.
swerve the route plies. cumbersome triffid waddles. naming holding imperative.
met with high-fives. nods portals. standing in a stadium.
stadia.
compendia behave between beleaguerment. a persuasion wills nothing less.
zero pessimist.




new poem 1.7

optimum sound. encroach. non-trial offer.
while reflection opts we mill on a some amalgam.
there’s torpor while silent. strike while hot.
silence. rain on an aperture.
opening a can of seltzer. vignettes, not vinegarettes..
plausible in hover-drive so recondite.
naive & similar.
many effects switch the willing cases, blasted comatose.
a signal to refrain & sort.
so non-returnable, imperious & melodramatic.
swim through on a modifier.
oddity's precursor.
announcers too spacey to continue...



new poem 1.8

red line. through. roughness fades the line.
imposes the line.
tunneling into where. is where.
where ‘is within’ sings george harrison.
improbable improbability. the lens leans through its dialectical promotions.
words are if defined. arē masked with identities.
blotted paradises widely circulate a letterbox.
behold, beholding. so marginal entreaties.
lest oversight's endless game plan.




new poem 1.9

a precedent of ashcans.
praxis.
the tuner cleanses the keys.
priority over signature.
emeritus. debilitation's code-line is thrown windward.
commensurate infinity. let's measure the windward intelligence.
as a nominally too-verbal incandescence.
fragments behave it. dissent's too token so iffy amidst scrambling.
gone me pre-located.
india.
indexes.
we are willing throughout a marginalization.
we complicate trembling's ocean a define limn.
white or blanketed.
in the crease.
a threadless routine has its druthers before firing its throw-to—rope & snake.
doff.
stump.
nutshell.
throughfare identifications wholly decenter their no-fault assignment possibles.
adamant professors relate to the same precedents as begun though indifferent to indexical-hortense.
a mending wide strange & compound. straighten up. at last promissory.
amounts of this praise something awry.
the culinary stretch meets biases headless.



new poem 1.10

unit.
union.
unison.
yoda the magnificent.
distance & speculation.
i've seen a little star-wars.
gain & illusion of gain where sparks speak of minions to come.
teardrops unearth duple mainstays.
where it fits in is irregular.
nod when complexity hits, then define deletion & its martyrdom.
comparable the surprise settles in. keys loosen locks. i am bargained into closure but will dally here.
luge-noun fragments hold reminders of grunge.
the sloka is ungrammatical.
where stymied, retool.
there will be incalculable benelux.





new poem 1.11

a different moment. porcelain and chintz. solace if of the tiller.
no diadem whittles analogies met hale & hearty in surplus.
nitrates in foolscap try one's patience.
telephones topiaries & ocelots (oblique cats) in a dependent clause.
notions after the fact.
an itch so indelible it skanks crosswise around a corner.
in naivete is refuge as precedent calls itself a phoneme or actually three phonemes.
a group of phonemes.
car tires on a sidewalk curbstone. whose retention reminds slowly?
topics-unroll-topiaries are parking lots away in the midland-midstream.
attentive to detection cover.




new poem 1.12 for carol  |

incalculable entry dubbed & trusted.
let homeward, inner pliancy throw then as previously adapts.
melt mellow the cling harpoon, selected with attention.
extensions then so framed, the copier inverts letters midstream materializing.
ductile comparisons wear leggings of blue & gold so as to anachronistically throw to aligned melody.
each comparative bears heats show-cast on preview, so suits over box-lunch.
decoys without password gain no kingdom. summering flies are knowledgeable.
they took away the deposit.
mocha soundscapes clear for a ghostly paparazzo.
thoughts opt for realtime’s oversight so forgone forlorn thematic to blend.
…to an attitude of dissent i retreat before resuming…
so sleepy the none-of-the-above holds its true disconnections as if promised but not so.
we choose parnassus without knowledge of consequence.
i broom a calliope that has had too many riders attached. i know that.
the friend of a friend receives something useful for attention & what chirps so awry prevails on winds on whom others can influence.
a real zone opens out if context does not abandon objectivity.
or illusoriness.
this poem claims there is no difference!
i am unknowable!



new poem 1.13  

the tangible hotel indicates indicated reply.
a thorough & clearcut inlay of stone.
sonic discovery. bone in. bone there to behave beholding the karma beehive.
karma? i am an unqualified westerner. so it says on the platform of a shoe-soul.
the accretion of toil & effort is advised.
'inspiration is for amateurs' says a current pop-star*.
intractable ontology, or whatever.
some plaintive melancholic imbibers are comatose when they splay.
a definitive andiron scopes the holds on perpetual imposition through fallacy & mirage.
‘it is acausal’. the motion speaks ‘is’.
none of the above, each & every.



new poem 1.14

‘nighttime the fable’ is open.
retention's collocation.
once in an explosion the call is mended from attribute.
the least onset is thought to & for widening somatic empathy.
empathy's over-sought by some. crucibles are not always awaiting formulation.
in a tectonic shift, alternate visibilities team up.
the obsession wanders--hear it go forth!
rhythmic or not in its unbalanced ballast.
the forwarding march is non-statement.



new poem 1.15

‘lotus, not confusion of actions’, he said.
thought for the imprecation describes how das urteil is throughout the tale modifying elongation
as the gist of a home-front so tangibly retyping oversell.
pitstop slowed for full cases--what substance it is?
to whom the knowledge is attributed?
while the dormant echelon as definition etches limitation forgoes tolerance is eager for topic: the throated vireo.





new poem 1.16

an apparition offline.
a cold aparition after factoring itself into itself.
manumission so it matriculates decently.
mindstyles have migrated over there before.
that is its praxis when flooded.
hold it a candle.
switch it to reggae.
it is jocular into nighttime rising into cold sight.
to increase the heeding of plot-decoys.
thanks to evidences.





new poem 1.17

night.
redefine.
indelible.
chorus coexists with grabing.
milling with friends above & around.
colossal, the impunity of release that coils into a network-to-share.
immanent & capillary.
cappuccino.
a dove-tailed formalism is naturally parsimonious—
the waking cure.
a native orchestration of molecular betise.
combine. then allot.



new poem 1.18

a ghost in the canoe.
softened as w/ a public meteor.
agon for the close mentor’s inductee.
non-sense is naive & expunged.—‘i can’t get me no.’ *
detail’s mode—scrupulous renditions form recollections.
it’s decay willing a fissure—transit from one toggle otherwise othered.
a mode for abandonment none too often so majestic, minimally put.
so put the clock under a wall of clay.
one politic goes in to skulk while this goes.
c'est la vie…



new poem 1.19

history.
histrionic.
the cold emotional red-shift.
naive moebius that clarifies identity.
cold manages the thoroughfare on a silent omnibus.
where collarbones wrinkle an inner flange.
inner.
inwardness.
a descriptive term while operative or defunct.
dungeon signals dry out theatrical derivatives.
the cul de sac is admissive of too much entity.
it’s a flange whose duple trends over the side.
noun-nuanced nuances call “illbient” the acrostic nature of wordmanship.
no harbor.
swordsmanship.
entourage.
the mannerist mannerism.
an ecological preoccupation that space remains.
a ludic habit entreated over rumors are yardarm.
so much disproportionate emulation thereof.
ghosts.
ayler.
verbal & visual.
without thinking we regulate.
the frequency debates itself.
so to engulf while capstans turn.
opiate-forming attitudes.
revert to sacks over holsters.
it keeps the peaceful dispensation.
it traverses targets ruled cleric mentor.
a tiger-balm for wounds given & received.
a contrasted motive relates cold spaces we inhabit.
a switch centralizes mandalas' connotation while the camera aperture impounds.
an etude wills to work wielding the very notions are thrown to impulse.
unfinishable.
yet idiom.
chockful.
we elope with a description that evolves.
description—the bias foregone of contention gone to a spelling bee.
some gustatory code—call it intrepid with a smile.


new poem 1.20        for sheila

to description, then
the notions are parallel & obviated where bulleted.
emo grasping tells the frame to tap—no.
cul de sac.
they’re livid through scuttling prescience≈.
a cartouche mollifies whodunits of a type opaque & glistening.
a mad materialism with grateful agreements.
they describe a presumed technique.
despondent motions are waiving looking at the lassitude where an emotion is spry.
how can colombes arrive as scepters?
so we mutate the items too pernicious to trash birdsongs.
indexed glances motivate topics.
throwness* is for once the artifact meeting with humanity.
