Nouveau Espresso

down from postcard mountains he gives me    the Abyssian flag the cities    copulating rhythm   s (vulture wings husk in the dry air), scavenger fish   on a   black water rubbish heap to the   sand flies in Spanish sunlight    doodling pensive lemurs   in the junk-sick morning, Only the laughing bones remain, floating in their frock coats, bugs under    they   skin the   fires slow cold   out of iron lungs   bullets in an aquarium    of    Etruscan sky … Doctoring was in my blood. Blue Grass…   Lee’s    neck shatter   s   in liquid relief

Across the dewy grass, trundling barefoot, the silver pillows by the abandoned TV that watched as we passed, I received revelation of the city’s sole, and it stoned us to relieve itself for we had sighted the flag, the sneakers, the tread ahead, and it was darker than the pupils in your swimming pool eyes, but what pierces my memory is his nose, flatter than roadkill, and yet I stood fearing it would roll away, along with the rest, the fur-lined sky. Flickering and twisting down to light the water gushing past the dam of our cut-up manwhore’s dainty rigor mortis the dogs became sharks in frenzied traffic and a cat out of nowhere popped to place head under paw, and a lick offer before the officers go about the chores and we back to the great indoors, ready to stream our trophy, straight to the power-lines, how they sway in the breeze.

It Was From The U.S.

Going from brown to blonde, you have
to make sure that the jacket fits, that it’s
enabled in Google Chrome, and is perfect
ly elastic. How else can chlamydia be con

tracted, earthquakes measured, & conclus
ions uttered with scorn for God and seniors?
Considering the parallelisms & savagely
multifacetious structures it delivers in the

dialect of entitlement, it will surely make
money online. I say you have to stop preying
unless you’re religious or just justifying
slavery. Thank you for filling out this survey.

It’s harder to play to tennis on the moon, but
we make do. Last week they sent a teddy bear.
