Between the Skyscrapers

small ones 2


geometric shift
sometimes waiting
buzzard's obsession

corn in the fields
oiling up the machines
strike deployment

artistically cleaning
butterscotch roseberries
head changes tonight

time for wanting
wallpaper reminiscing
gum chewers unite

lemon fields peopling
the green globe spins
avast me darling!

what time are you?
who then discovers
a strange example

consumption spring
whilst fairly resplendent
who cares though

extruded polystyrene
trampling condescendingly
2nd place salsa of the year

maximum hangover
memories of what went wrong
dangling like carrots

fight your battles
win some or lose all
we'd like to go home

knees in rough carpet
a distinct type of pain
but time marches on

wrecked and beaten
a conference for sports
but seriously

take a big swig
that down river water
smells like home

waited too long
same old mistake
I crack my jaw

the wedding begins
fields in the distance
father watching

started at birth
been riding in a hearse
this life's a curse

hear the flame burning
imperceptible whistle
this night is so long

meditate for peace
become enlightened
take a bath

begin thinking
enter a world of dreams
who what why where when

brush your teeth
gaze out the window
they are never clean

daring escapes
heightened mobility
shriek!- cat muscles

haiku like you
focus on what you're doing
ignore the rules

open the window
a fiery breeze barges in
hear the war cries

skin is soft and warm
underwater it's pale
the shallowest pool

tossing in terror
night gives way to dawn
but something remains

no love in life
I dream a different scene
shadows behind trees

question everything (or)
accept/except whatever they say-
your choice to make

The water will always flow
And the water will always know
just exactly where to go
