Species Of Wondering

Published on a fever shore
the stock strand mammals
milk another sonic lung.

These are the suffering hours,
the damage of a dying cough
crack the security of doctors.

The skin of summer pulses,
the radiation whales of old
may winter another sun.

Outside The Test

We didn't think life would survive the elements.
It couldn't do it without the havoc of competition.
But none of it is any good if you don't have photosynthesis.

Can the Phoenix really be said to survive?
The weary earth itself has outlasted it.
We didn't think, but we didn't think we couldn't think.

I'm largely grateful for these sarcastic words.
I'm not looking for the Seven Rules of Knowledge,
I'm just processing a sample without the key.

Enough Remake Season

lake that formed when
quake-triggered land slide dammed a river
seduced by wealth and perks, never really comes together

ability to work with actors, not an auteur director
never left his personal stamp on a film
remake romantic comedy beautiful costumes

forced to endure daily rains beneath tattered thatch huts
drinking whatever water they can find
in low-lying delta as the monsoon season nears

Critical: Attracting Options

Beneath the low hum
of a graying sky, the fading
aura dissembles.

We were frankly warned
of this unexplained trend,
what it might mean.

In Tao, there is no
unsolicited urgency, only
the lone, myriad way.

Already Revealed To

The behemoth of conjecture, long happily willing to
tackle the role of the spectrum of agency to emergency,
threatened to end the speculation

as his foot endured the nerve-racking response to
a drumbeat dropped in mid-march to mock
the bowing of music to systemic graces repeated

to engage, to a fault, the terse sealed process
that surrounds the hearsay that no news is new news to
the unrest cacophony is always welcome to.

From Womb Complications

Screwing up another panel on hospital-grade drugs,
my eyes double-vision. A coliseum. A state.
“This is good,” I cue the picture of the implantation.

I cue the picture of the artificially fertilized eggs.
“This is the baby now, 10 years after,” I cue shot
of child at the compound. “She’s loving it.”

My eyesight blossoms. Blurry. 10 years
I’ve been suffering. With experts and crowds
of people. The agency is a plot. A bog.

Unfortunately Flying Critics

He who has harnessed hope
Has lifted a balloon of presence
With hours of awareness and wind.

She who bested caustic presence
Won the elusive wind
And a massive infusion of hope.

Difficult critics imagine the wind
May stage the ambitious hope
Of turning stars into presence.

Booze Breaking Intentions

We hear that due to a crackdown planned on the alcopops
        of Wales.
37,000 youths were dispersed by underage minister, Coaker,
and that 1027 spirits called the police home choke a success.

Jail, though. Regular gig again
for the car-breaking junkie who took a cocaine solo
        on Thursday.
Then Glastonbury Pete turned up on a horse.

Enough to have a she and tell study?
Or ruin the well-prepared glance with size-line of jaw
        and woo eyes?
Look, clues! Is enough to glance at the well-prepared shape.

Rule Of More

A robotic control series gingerly bottles Coke,
while hanging fans breathe robotic applause.
We slide from a needed cargo to an embarrassing ocean.

Jules Verne oversees the Bureau of Supplies,
and cheers on the development of giant new things.
200 tons of spare computers, and still expanding!

We are added in the turnstiles of a flawless abacus.
A second later, our newfangled seats have been constructed:
Not likely to be more comfortable than our grandfathers'.

On Popular Peaks

Temporary peaks of incomplete mountains
Like watching a million faces deep in sleep.
Faces, people, anyone with compelling reason

Anyone who has ventured outside of precision.
Only one so free who is not involved
Should chance an appeal should risk losing.

Video strokes create new context, new terms,
While memory releases a nation’s cognitive history.
An American audience exercises a new identity.
