a lot of my feelings are avant-garde

{#for/with respect to Richard Cronshey}

 

i.

So I'm like, post-sensory or something. Chicks dig that. Day-glo chicks with abnormally small

hands dig that---because swords are still awkward. What was I saying again?

ii.

 

Oh, yes! Bronto-sore-eye, I think they called it. Anyway, socks are stupid but sort of like,

necessary. Small hands are a sign of dire skepticism---whatever that means these days. The

military knows that, man. Why do you think space still exists? Nyquil, gurgle gurgle.

 

iii.

 

I'm partial to IT, whatever IT is. I wrote the script for the original Tron---not the one they used

in the movie, though. Movies are awkward I like westerns. I'm in love with old telephones, but I

wouldn't say in love enough to marry them

 

 

 

Bang

{#for Seve Damm}

 

i.

we can sleep it off

at this safe distance

 

ii.

 

blind smoke

ghosted folk

 

iii.

nurturing the blame

like rationalized behazior

 

iv.

 

nothing to do

. bloodshed

 

v.

 

. but wait

 

LI'l Pink Houses

{#for Sundin Richards}

 

Suckface and Truculent--two grave-robber assholes I met at a party last night in the suburbs.

They aren't really grave robbers, though. I thought one of them was coming on to me. Turns out,

he just wanted to smell my cologne. What is it with these white kids, anyway? My hard of hearing.

My misfit insistent heart. My flesh wounds, sinister. If I'm not mistaken, Barrel Eyeballer shot

one of them with a paper rabbit. But it doesn't end there. John Cougar Mellencamp was yelling

out car windows. Something about PCP---or America, or something. I had radio static all the

way home. No one has hit a home run out of this town in years.
