The honest don’t hide their identity. Recommendation– 24-7 monitoring of activities and known associates Radicals Seven through Eleven: Conga line of Blue Sharks high finning children. Probable groomers. Recommendation– issue restraining order establishing five-mile protection perimeter around day care centers and grade schools Agitators Twelve through Twenty: Parade of yellow rubber duckies hopping from one foot to other over and over tapping out a secret code I have yet to break. Recommendation– highest priority. put our best on it. we must understand this message

Today’s agenda is to scribble
fill blank page with handwriting
top to bottom scrawl of script
looping as it wants to flow

Make rhymes or rhythms or
let lines slant away from each other
into something said anew.

Now share the beauty

Eternal Resistance

Breathe deep
Release / Relax / Rest
Tap into evergreen
Husband asleep alongside

Let tenderness flow
To Self To Partner To
Barky dog next door To
First-floor bros high-fiving

Streets So Clean [us] Squeak

Could barbershop quartet in them
Sporting matching striped vests, straw hats
Harmonize sentimental grins
Streets sanitized until shine glares

[us] draw curtains tighter

block out the blinding
bouncing off emptied surfaces
no obstacles remain
to diffuse its blow
national guard picking up trash

Not Me is the god who shows up when I pray
poem in the shape of a spinal column. Title-- Atemporal. poem-- Not Me is a quiet bedroom Comforter that fits its name Sheets made for building cocoons Goldilocks mattress just right At sun’s rise kitchen radio will break headline Agents behind tinted windows flooding [us] streets screaming overhead MORE They can’t grab up themselves enough Still that’s in a different room at a distant hour Here is solely pillowed support Abundant rest for every body

The driver probably tagged you Mental, decided Hobo. Fair enough. The barrier between Chronic Pain and Craziness is as transparent as a white t-shirt washed hundreds of times. The distance from Home to Homeless a partner with a paycheck.

Wearing your white t-shirt that ¿why do you keep mending? It’s a rag. ¡Let me use it to clean up. In your cargo shorts that will only ever be shorts; will never be zipped into the form of pants again.

To Save The Bleating Baby Deer Wobbling Into The Road Alone On A Dark Night

You’re the kind of cis white man who waved down a speeding car. Stopped by your arms stretching up/out. Braked by your determination that nothing would be killed.

Terrific Tariffs

you’re talking smack about me
I punish you with tariff

give me side eye?
I see your tariff and raise it

scoff behind my back?
I bump up your tariff

mock my hairdo?
I sue you in tariff

print lies about me?
I double down your tariff

scorn my smarts?
I smother you in tariff

it’s the price of progress
the sages shake their heads sadly
what’re ya gonna do?
apply pressure and they’ll threaten
take back their contributions

so we are left behind
part dead fish
part open sewer
part cancer unchecked

Sold Down The River

foamy blobs cover water
“Beaver Vomit” the kayakers call it
part decaying leaves
part agitated oxygen
part farm fertilizers
like egg whites beaten stiff then browned to meringue
