Discrete Facing Quality Below
No name stood out
so necessity took the bait
Developing career
then from that point backwards
Good news is coming
now it’s gone and you still
crave unhealthy food
Truth travels in small packages
opened by the wrong person
Why ask a question
to get attention if you’re not
a spoiled child?
Stay connected by going to sleep
Showings nightly by victims
of the forecast made each morning
One hand doesn’t know
what the other is doing
to gain the upper hand
Projecting an image
that controls all the info
we have about freedom
Between want and need
is wisdom everyone needs
but no one wants
Extra exits all around
when darkness closes early
Petitioning for a change of scale
raised on influence
Continual attempts stop
to dislodge fingers clawing at
years of neglect
so necessity took the bait
Developing career
then from that point backwards
Good news is coming
now it’s gone and you still
crave unhealthy food
Truth travels in small packages
opened by the wrong person
Why ask a question
to get attention if you’re not

Because money in each person
before the abyss
What you come from
Mother animal instinct
to be increasingly hidden
Against mind bitter in illusion
Against rich envy in garden sun
Still delicate pale silver
netting clings to veil
as submission to one nature
is remote labor fashioning
cloud of greater meaning
that your soul can use
while stuck in traffic caused
by endless delay
before the abyss

Chain of minutes losing then
regaining link to force I believe
must go beyond perception
from a common trade
Fabric of the naked uniform
reveals needless erosion
in sunlight’s display window
Indifference appears muscular
but cannot move when captives
rip the flesh that rules all

Hangs over man waiting on
child he never was
Watches stars after funeral
devours best part of the sky
Adds to infinite crumbles in hand
that no one can reach
Exists in one place primarily
to show those present

Compromise content aided
by tradition covering
an open-ended question
Every tale in which mind
triumphs through answers
that enable workers to
give up the fight
Enveloping the system as
a feedback loop increasing
the risk of cycle revulsion
Shots fired across globe
bolstering boundaries
that can’t be trusted
Weight given to verdict
delivered by demands of
self-preservation
Cutting what we remember
of wonder down to size

Angle of collapse is raised
during business promoted
to gain permission humming
with powers that be
You may not know it but
defender brainwashed those
shameful about resentment
in town where certain forms
of behavior are confused with
attack on the public arena
To withstand burden from an
anonymous desire requires
notice of position taken
far too seriously by denizens
of hope brushed aside
A serene independence is
aware of the absurdity caused
by dirth of free interruption
Do what is necessary
we say while making art rage
against the price paid to
satisfy our need

Wet sox left under the waxing
moon of those not admitting
belief in a long day’s work
Someone reached for the bell
announcing holy war in a field
behind my father’s desk
Another departure fitted with
a frame that I invented
and then dug up in the cellar
Twin features of obsession now
making a ghost enlist and steal
eyes out of their orbit
Account selected with a hammer
when lifting or crushing slabs
afraid of everything else
Like award for diligence
by entourage stuck between
appointments and a subject
seemingly incurable that copes
with hogwash religion until
zero decides to play fair

Faded orders filled mansion with
slush from bankrupt strategy
Expert witness for prize breakdown
Mind body request granted to name

Money and more money to support
project connecting dots of string

Amnesia drugs employed by
doctor that says what he is told
about midpoint of life smelling
flowers that don’t help condition
passing through airport searching
pockets for an address thrown away

Fragile sense illuminated under
tricks wedged in accomplishment
Wretched compels ooze to choose
ceiling agenda and suspension
Strips of oblivion straddling piano
Chalk white room with oil spread
on bodies for daylong operation
Scalpel slices expectation of
wrinkles raised where mechanic
puts retina over each pile of flesh
Moist shells protect pride that
shields artificial tops from disaster
I avert glance dazzled by unknown
impulse suddenly grabbing wheel
stuck on outcome determined by
neighborhood I try to awaken

In a garden leaks dome of
plastic across the hedge
Mud attempts to drag brain
through narrow slits with
grunt between manicured
sections that fly from wound
in space above stone circle
Helmet of grey proceeds on
its unalterable course toward
the house of a man squirming
to admit cells gripped by fear
of layers surrounding a profile
prepared to experience why
nutrients are stored with
a full burst of rhetoric on
a dim stairway before noon

Bird-like presentation did
require phrasing imbued
with spirit that inspired
four shoes dancing to a tune
imposed on each ritual
Stage is set where puppet
manipulate bits and pieces
created on knees bent over
unsaid veracity polished like
a rifle trained on paper
There is no result better if
symptoms emerge that are
totally different from what is
being written by those who
appreciate a good audience
The bird the shoes the rifle
pay no attention to signals
that intersect the plane of
their unique melange

Daily round overloaded with
acts of omission
Vibrant exchange faces drawn
shutter of emotion
Difficult squeeze into capsule
I receive from depths
of ill-remembered partner that
I couldn’t live without
In grief I preserve feelings drained
to the last drop
In bathroom mirror expressions
should indicate
where I retreated after mistakes
made again and again
I realized a multitude of gestures
that glow in the dark
like entire worlds hidden under
bruises left by fingers
grasping edges I find even in
thoughts that
don’t really care who I am

Fringes love whistling of
desert space behind a ruin
that might be mistaken for
what was once a place of
worship showing precepts
that develop the other side
Soon goes to hell enclosed
by ramparts pointing at
anomaly like wild crown or
crooked tool scratching
outline of journey inside
the beholder racing toward
wire mesh trash ticket
in the next fitness course
joining a procession that
suddenly stops on a dime
