Plays Or Leans

it's a surprise or it's an act
or it's fate or coincidence or a buried victory
or tumbling into a deep hole or the economy of the 30s

or plunged into blasts of shivering ridicule
or popping wires from their communications points
or cougars' eyes glinting from lethargic trees

or there would be hazards or spectacles
or hazards but no spectacles or spectacles but no hazards
or there would be no obvious or meaningful incidents

The Wrong Crisis

A new committee will not help you think.
To get Icelandic jellyfish, cut a hole in Iceland.
Are you saying you can negotiate the complex paths that wind

through woods of green tension, to bed in peaceable houses?
Yes, drunk again.
Save the biological problems for the biologists.

From the grades they've assigned to life, it had to fail.
And a microscope is too big to prevent regret.
Any guiding star has to send you too far to circle back.

How Particles Realign

Screen the alcove condenses two from A of space.
Branch the space form two of A from points.
Space the province broke four with A in secret.

The collisions the communion against.
The scrutiny the correspondence with.
Cosmic these and nothing detecting engage streaks to from.

Darkened white and smudges enclosing secede glass to with.
The abstentions the cone of.
The yesteray the messages of.

Breakaway To Turnaround

The extended wells of a ridiculous e-mail war
said that extraterrestrials were accelerating evacuations
from hatches in the ocean off Nova Scotia, while

in a spit of shell-blue sky, not a robin had evacuated.
The nation's cloudless spokeswoman probably stretched
to stop leaders from launching the forecast

that someone suggested their presence provoked;
making those umbrella remarks that help no one, operators
likening it to rain sparked from an offshore hurricane.

Who can deny location?
I'm in no hurry to change
