J. D. Nelson


the green apple serpent of the jolly ranchers

dounce street, later:

parachuted
canker sore

lard v.
tallow

               c-note

wipe that
smile



land’s

minus
that

               bat

study
study
study

seven &
pie

carefully
dreamt



compunction nodule

we get it—
you’re a doctor

scuff lionel
ringo soon

               weird wishes from planet prune

better answer:
stand with me in wonder



(Seven Untitled Monostichs)

—



nothing we are the world



—



green grapes lovely I said



—



window the scene with the giraffe



—



moist towelette sidewinder



—



Ω fresh licorice



—



boxing denmark’s aspic



—



blue gelatin dolphin in the milk
