somebody
turned it on
then
went out for
beer

plans are versatile

teaching my toes
to play
piano
finally

evolution or
biology become
united
functioning as one

i cry real tears
and the point is
they
never run out

bury me already
soak me first in water
overnight
then
feed me daily

as
time closes in
moves across the street
changes into an
adult
full of nothing

read this
choose
not
to believe i

my mind is
wired to a fire
hydrant and
a leash

i will be your pet
you will be my owner

laughing now
on
the inside

everything costs
99 cents
and
gets replaced in
a few days

it is okay to dream
it is okay to live

give me
the 99 cent brain
and
throw in a kidney

standing
in a long line
you would think
it was given away

the wind takes
the humidity someplace

the zen master
stops
for lunch

listens

i’d be alone here
if
it weren’t for you

the wind takes
the humidity and
grows a watermelon

she paints ya
know
pictures
of trees filled
with
astronauts

sitting in
church
sleeping
near the pulpit
an old testament
journey
thank god for paul
thank god for paul
loud and clear

he spit on me
when i was slow
with the coffee

new to the job
wondered
does this happen
often

yeah
pretty much
all the time

working
at the human
zoo

arbitrarily  speaking
they believe
some people have
a 6th toe
a 7th finger
saw the glove

made a decision
surgically removed the iris
took a paintbrush
and put it back

how you picture
always has a caption
a fried chicken photo
the stub saved and later found

took the cape may ferry to
delaware there it was
in the back pocket
a bone
evolutionary directions
what comes next
buried in the fine
print

wants to do everything
then
wants to do more

terrifying and in charge
gathers at the table
paints a window

there goes another car

think
write a song
sing it on the toilet
a finished hit
when the clown
debates
when the microscope
focuses
when the sun shines
in the garden
then
things grow
