Coffee Shop Blues or The Cool Cap
I’m wearing a hat today It’s blue
“Why is it blue?”
You might ask… As I do.
My blue hat
My blue cap
My cool cap…
…To find her gone
Blank like the memory
Of my fiction
The Lie of the Living
Soaring in the space above words,
it lowers its view to woods and lake,
circles and sees…
Northrup Mall
I appeared
eyebrows frozen
radiator red ears…
White
On a warm twist of winter
At 5:30 in the morning of Korean calm
An early bus slips past the chot noon [first snow]
Sailing down in windless clusters
Like whispers
Wetting windshields…
Untitled
Oh the stars
how could i forget the stars
the spectacle of the Greek night
the great chasm of black
that connects to
the lingering blue of the Mediterranean…
Knossos
Can you hear the locusts
all around?
They surround the palace
and siege the Minoan ruins with sound…
The Grammar Lesson
You are my grammar
as I am your object
to accept your subject’s intensifiers.
Set me off in any sentence position.
I go as well before or after your verb.
I predicate your clause and need no passive voice
as your active verb
is always there to curb my adverb…
