BABY WITH THE BATH WATER




theres pomes
live in files

that
wont
work

no matter how much 
i take them out
to 
another moonless dance
and
butcher their dahlia blackness
with
pound shop knives
on
the
dogging tarmacadam

and
its
the
offal i keep
to
read in the dirt
like
tea leaves

and no it says
youre not done yet

and i worry i been doing it all wrong
and all the meat is all ruined now

and i accidentally wrote roadkill

didnt i ?

and
spread it all out
unreadable 
on
machine
crushed 
gravel

where forests once sang

MONDAY 8.30 AM (later i will bore the union reps)



monday
8.30 AM

HR meeting
so
i'm
already sipping coffee number three

barely here at all . . .

corner office
and
the
living faces shine too bright
with
pregnancy and enthusiasm and dutiful compassion
all
HD
and
blinding

i want to cry out - 
its 
TOO EARLY !

. . . the meeting is just WORDS
rattling
like
pebbles
on
a
loose
highway black top

i ask half-questions
to
strange looks
and
the
future takes its shape
as
always
thru omissions and accidents
and
bad
timing
