April Witchcraft Warning

In the twilight of the city and the towns here,
it is stunningly difficult to deny
the embrace of self-serving diminution,

the generation of continuous echo,
an unwittingly watered-down brightness,
the dying of the fires towards midnight.

Transference flies.
Faith comes apart like a twenty dollar suit,
God as divine therapist.

Unacceptable Zetas Suspected

A dumbfounded film of millions described the foreign
as someone affected thus far by Nations and Intersections
obliquely suggested. In dismissed history-based reports

a school of notorious strain uprooted group rumors,
shot across faith and racial reach, aimed at flooding
boundaries to build bridges across the worst migrants

of insecurity and spring. Ethnic nonprofit threats ravaged
this thesis of slow bodies, blamed learning on work where
such country was funded by soldiers promoting drug peace.

Institute Of Anybody

Wingless nests from above, they talk to reach the dead.
They're not averse to saying goodnight, although
they hardly practice sleep. And if they are small,

it's usually because they're autonomous.
Good homes, oil and robots in black-body sunlight,
scrubbing a burnt orange with ice and mayonnaise,

mopped out a flattened poppy, pasteurized in hollow tubes,
thin roosts and crevices cast about a tan bed.
And if they're good, it's usually because they are small.

Paradoxical Brainstorm Overload

They seemed here but not here,
withdrawn from the reality around them,
set up temporary camp in a suspended state.

They would act on information before it happened,
across all distances, instantaneously,
as if there was no space or time between them.

They needed reminding about notes and rhythms,
to be either particles or waves.
They're not watching where they're going.

Boosting Extensive Correctness

Contemporary literature slumbers,
no incentive to make threatening waves.
Good writers are put out to pasture.

The academy, ruled by theory,
undermines your individuality
with programs that embody the official philosophy

of neutered multicultural lemmings.
Who'll confront this bold mediocrity?
Who'll deconstruct their deconstruction?

Awakened before dawn,
under a headlight moon,
an experiment's willing participants.

Transfixed by desert heat,
a river's selfish murmur,
the carousing of a feverish canyon wren,

pale sandstone walls rose around them.
"Dolores means sorrow or pain", she said,
and he would come to know that soon enough.

Rethink Modern Documentary

He was a matrix of numerous materials,
a mixture of pride and fear,
the proximity of silver,

the risk of diminution,
a preternatural affinity for flashlights.
Contradictions and incongruities

He'd instinctively play dead.
He liked the comfort it provided.

He rests his head on a pillow of tattered towels,
broken-down and rusting on a backstreet.
Taken by surprise, he ran out of everything,

a first-class nightmare coming true.
He leans back, closes his eyes, and wonders
how much more he can bear, new to this quiet desperation.

It stabs, burns, aches and throbs, gnaws at you,
knocks you for a loop. But, sooner or later
it all goes away. Unless, he's been told, it doesn't.
