DIGRESSES WITH REMINISCES

the orator
drops his paper
reading some prayer about shepherds

& he digresses
with reminisces
about his own sheep farming days

there is no conviction
in his blunt diction
when he says

sheep are stupid
they turn their toes up
at any old thing

at the funeral
we were at
last thursday noon

BLOATED HORRORSHOW POPS

the day is brave

coming for me relentless again

when it knows
it knows

& the ports muffled crash-booms 
travel over the history marsh

giants playing jenga 
with containers again


~


we all live fast
we all die young

death just takes its time

delayed by our refusal
&
insistent bloated reminisces 


~


a dna accident trail
like a slug or snail

tethers me readable

back 
thru all the 
dodged signposts gateways

im searching for a mouse to kick

thoroughly frustrated with impermanence 
&
the
relentless
relentless
