DISASTERING

cannot
fully
look
upon

our wretched condition
& rolling disaster

without me disastering more

~

i consult my volatile slab
of magic & deception

for any countdown delay
or its possible illusion

in the elongated

gout of the world

CREATES AN ILLUSION

a boxfresh outfit
or as boxfresh as i get
helps clear out
the fog upstairs
& creates an illusion
of order & prep & pep

until the cat
gets hungry
& gets friendly
& rubs his shedding summer coat
all over my twill wale
& puma suede

no matter
i am only sitting in the morning chair
sunlit on the houseplants
& hair everywhere

she died
of
daytime tv

he choked
on
advertising copy

their twins
orphans now

moved their 
payday loan payments
onto direct debit

their suicide pact 
creating
an
illusion

choice

LAUNDRY VOLCANO

the past 
is
ten days of laundry
sluggish on the carousel
in
the
5 AM
departure hall

~

the past
is 
a 
volcano of gone faces
and
bargain basement red letter days
    p
  u   t
 r      i
e         n
           g 
like photoshop thumbnail confetti

when
you
thought
it
was
a
solid mountain base
you were reclining on

feet up 
book and a brew

~

and these Days 
They hurtle 
thrown thru the prism 
of the Vanishing Now
with anything from laziness
to outright rage

~

and i wonder why
and i wonder how 
and i wonder if
it
would 
be 
disrespectful
to
that sepia flotsam collage

to clear it all away forever
like it was writers-strike tv

when
its
that
what
got
me
here

in the 9 AM hinterland
of another tuesday mornings
typing
jag
illusion
