Extract Empty Silence

martyr to political correctness the lamest of gender jokes
greeted with stony silence for every action too far gone

packs a century of upheaval an almost uncanny beauty

World In Itself

I was having lunch on the width of the Internet.
I only know the cinematic Earth
and the captive words that describe it.

Balloons gravitating to kindergarten,
the steward of human pressure and handpicked dust,
larger than a ring of Saturn.

Famous for its existence projects, it is made up mostly
of invisible hair from an ambitious spacecraft
and the afternoon buzzing of a phoebe.

Those Plucky Ambiguities

An ambiguity is a funny truism,
in that its deconvolution is eloquently unknowable.
Just study this: What lives on pablum,

can't smell color, evades horizons,
could win a plurality of the unpopular votes,
and according to a spy on Earth,

you usually see it playing baseball with real orioles?
And by the way, when is an enigma not enigmatic?
When it's a riddle.

Marketing of Theory

"I don't trust mugs and T-shirts.
They steal your propaganda." "So what if they do?"
The protagonists consider.

Mud, with a fringe of snow
that seems to mirror their remarks.
But the audience is well warmed by viewing a good fire.

"'The world is a fantasy of subtext,
without systematic confederates.' What do you think of that?
Too paranoid? Not paranoid enough?" "Um... Google it."

The High Ground

Apparently, according to astrobiologists, we stink.
Blame the temperatures.
Actually, we persist,

and think up plans for habitable forms.
We made our camp in a spectrum of gears,
the absolute sun that we all live to study,

and projected an unlikely city
that could be almost right.
Perhaps, we think, the experts are coming.

Can't figure out bowling.

The combined appearances of cabins and condominiums
convened a peaceful outback.

Episode of Alienation

He is remembered a villain.
A fresh body, he is traveling by soul
to board his memory.

Sepia-toned films cut his mind—
toxic remedies portraying residues of human reason:
A man, but titan, he ate tormented hearts.

He is vermin, the monstrous dark a pesticide—
an ambiguously familiar comrade
transformed to fate.

Her elephants age.

faces the deem of the animals
to rape its identity.

or a note scribbled on the Atlantic,
and their distinct structures of 13 on 17.
