COMPACT POPLINGS

A1

i would gibber moonward

mind hormone-fooled
to its most free flow

those midnight meadow laughter days

young & under stars



B3

the day has a mood on
clouds cross the sun

we do too it seems

collision nerves in the basted belly
unhorse me metaphorically

drama is a black black buzz



C1

i hold the past
like a dreamer

im not the only one

no white piano
just home vids to never watch

i hold the past
like a dreamer

& our hands touch anxious there

DECLARATION POPS

  BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL

   i declare heaven  Real
 an equal opportunity employer
         and
        affordable

   i declare  Murder 
  never to hurt at all

   and  nothing to be Sad
       any
       more


  THE GRAVE OF THE UNKNOWN DREAMER

     i declare
  famous lives
     celebrated

       check  &  duh

     too 
    tho -

  i declare  chanceless orphans
 to be the  unknown dreamers

   stuck in the thrust of sun

      their
 celebration
    overdue

  STRENGTH POP

    real
  strength

 is not  impenetrable

     but
   ballet  flexible

 open as a western movie sky

   antihero
 unformed & rootless
     talking to animals 
      on
     the
   desert  skin


  DRUNK WRITERS

  no  longer compatible
 with the drugs of my trade
     i
   take
 another
     route

  as  equally old
   and  cliche

 homey lube  in the toy age
    an ace punt 
  thru the timed exit
    and
 plenty  of 
  sitting  down
