Their Valued Jungles


Are we to believe that monkeys rafted to a new continent
to repair cars? Who would cross the ocean
just to tunnel under the Panama Canal?

But it's in the meaning of "Volkswagen,"
said the modern primate unintentionally. Related point:
We believe we have discovered marijuana or Tijuana,

it's unclear which. It may not matter.
But the vegetation is at least $22 million years old,
and rigged with the teeth of ancient diesel.

and the phone recorded what lies ahead.

The Accompanied Curiosity


we've heard expressions of the purpose
a ravishing poster of the Netherlands
the unnamed surrounding

to bike around a swath of lifelong landfills
meteoric cars popping over the xenophobia miles
the undeniable level

shirt peppered with rain: a bolder heft of sense
roads everywhere, working some fresh befuddlement
the unaccompanied questions

Tumbleweed in Vegas


The hairy weeds cascaded downtown in unprecedented swarms,
where they were spotted shopping, drinking,
and singing karaoke.

One aristocratic tangle haunts the Honeymoon Hotel.
Another drove a Maserati right into the local supermarket
(to get a carton of dry milk, obviously).

Looking like scarecrows at the beach,
they have taken over the technology and homes of humans.
But relax; the Lucky Dollar has experience with profligacy.

Search Throughout Time


In virus seas she

looking below

the blues, the drug-

intrusive things.

There is a causal favourite.
An outbreak of concern; Earth

Shown All Over


a mirror overhangs, or movies overlay,
these climbing bogs that drink the stolen earth;
it must negotiate a common target for thieves

a bolt of energy stuttering between squared pillars
translates an expanding camera language
(now just a concept that uses video cutouts)

it is probably harder to see any formula here
than to view "Rear Window" from a moving car
with massive electric fans for a screen

Start Amid Experience


15th floor amid scenes panic and confusion cause of inferno
pouring glasses of champagne fireworks from the balcony
fire alarm started going off prime location

the many desperate journeys refugees fleeing persecution
risked lives to find safety become a far better place
terrified experience decided to escape welcome the fleeing

move around and interact with the digital world
new experiences predicted to be unveiled
already-crowded space take on comes right at the start

The Augmented Chamberlain


Meet the rarefied makers of a software aware enough
to sell an island to every war, a story to every studio.
They aim to normalize holograms, such as the glass pilots

that developers polished for Communist Airlines.
I expect higher possibilities for my similar half,
to bring my half respects and experiences,

to restore my journalistic interest,
to be my cold royalty.
However, I think I see a ray of hostility.

Annual Question-Spinning


Up early each day, scrutinizing the skies.
(One by one: Stunning sky, dreary sky, intense sky,
tepid sky, generic sky, copycat sky...)

Bogus intellectual juice.
But the analogous meteor is sweeping into the constellation
of this argument like a burst of consumer fraud.

Offering pomegranate for Halloween
spells one month of every year in Canada.
Next time, get fireballs.

Injured (Like California)


Los Angeles was a chance, a retreat.
The army of cars sounded like firecrackers,
or security.

The rain somehow escaped.
The hideout was flight: the highway
a drug, a prison.

California was injured– a people debris.
The mountain was a wounded relief–
the face of thunderstorms.

Economy of Athleticism


We rest the day in coffers of long hours,
with the delirium of a Vanderbilt.
Tens of cars that drive themselves

are apparently buckling under the streets,
but even casual runners know the way.
I slip into a marathon

like I slip into a good night's sleep,
making the criminal possible;
ears and accomplishments in pursuit of a slipped-up notion.
