Same Delicate Spots

Ornate insects, the counters of Mexico,
recite their sequence as a measure of their energy.
But it's unlikely that wildlife will be called on

by President Hamilton, to help slice the raw pie of labor.
Is it "monarch butterflies" or "monarchs butterfly"?
Raising the migration beacon with a dedicated twinge

of matched reflecting wings.
Deploying a generation with localities for bodies,
to jump over tomorrow and stand in next year.

Said friend then contradicted himself and told said

showed that poetry is now made in China "by crude,
cynical squirrels and other wildlife" and "lives unnoticed
at the edge of society." Laureates, have a seizure now.

9/11 Quake 2.0

thousand Americans – a decade ago.

A joint. The prone region. 100 tremors.
A possible car bomb. Common. Some 1,000
quakes of the state. A slight rattling. No signs

of the timing. And the source – even though
it came from al Qaeda – and the method –
common through Europe – names the U.S. city.

Rhymes—Only $1

Poetry is a garishly yellow Dollar Tree store
in Salem, Ore. You've seen the "As Seen on TV"
ad — a famously cool anti-poet pushing

a superabsorbent poem down an aisle we're calling,
merely, "Gunk." A local poet who writes a blog,
"Knockoff To A Nightingale," is worried about

the high cost of poetry. Living in the toy aisle,
streaked in orange goo, she writes extreme-discount
12-line poems for— wow!— about a dollar.

It’s a little shocking to lose parts of us:
the painful memories and iconic moments
erased in the sunshine of a city beach.

Most pictures die. Constructing a new past

We stand on the shore of mangled months
watching as time disappears below the water,
making no attempt to rescue remembrances.

Anti-aircraft in the streets, the government, the occupied
