World In Itself

I only know the cinematic Earth
and the captive words that describe it.

Balloons gravitating to kindergarten,

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,

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.

Creature You Figure


The future of arthropods is in public transportation.
Researchers at the University of Blue Bristol
discovered a million-year-old marine animal that had

appendages around its mouth, used in talking on the phone,
and a system of socializing that let it join unions.
And what about your evolution? Whatsamatta,

do you prefer to filter treasure from ocean water,
or to sit quietly by the big sheds
in the ancient light of northern Greenland?

Baby shrugging apologizes


A baby screaming for independence:
subhuman attempting to defuse
mongrel linguistic traditions.

The infant's mouth urged dialogue,
apologized for differences,
nonetheless drew protests.

A Familiar Moment

And singing the song
Of an unseen motherland

And the police nearby
Are seized and carried
In arms of breakthrough passion

Monsters Promised Freedom

Of freedom

Email Reading Itself

Alligators countless alligators.

Absolutely. Absolutely.
Breathing, alone.  The indelible method.

Marketing of Theory

without systematic confederates.' What do you think of that?
Too paranoid? Not paranoid enough?" "Um... Google it."

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

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

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.
