no and then not a
they were purple on the inside and
all over the nation this is true
like a synapse
it slows down as the traffic light goes amber
or at least a little
is that closer than the smell of pine
no much the same as that stoplight going green
this week Alabama or Nepal
I am not then a rubber platypus swimming through the murky antarctic water
the ketchup is now too
not quite that but a certain shape to those old cars
as dustball under the bed
of Styrofoam same as
like
did you hear that one
one over there and also here
a synapse
or was that Tuesday night
and the basic currency is the amalgam
you know like advertising and Russian Formalixm I swear
there
and it is unlike those songs about love
they were in the building that assembles poems from little bits
or maybe less like a baseball than I d thought
no again is that a
and the
and my beaver is in the shop
or that s not now
the tomatoes turned purple
expectancy or maybe not
to be recycled into a plain ambushing of text like that or like this or like neither is or as if
and there
like
outside and well
um....
concretions or an uncertain mood of
to be one and not
that song that always comes on the radio about the guy who is a knife
like honey like bees knees
synapse
where
no not together
I guess last night
I guess then less dandruff and more Husky like
that or unlike that or neither and like that or less or more or neither it is not equal it is not
no they ve got poems no again
and unlike the Three Sisters on the way to Jasper
that was definitely a Monday
isn t a rhythm so much as a momentum
letters of your hand go swerve and shore and bend and bay at maybe two o clock or three o clock
more like concretions no again
more like synchronic
a thought this way went undone and became no more than a
my love for a love no again
is what those who wear kilts call kilts
or dislike no its true Together
and like
and the raccoon looks out and says I ain t goin out
the Pacific Ocean and Wreck Beach
or less a symbiosis and more like synapse
and it slows down
not at all like this
like a song about a raccoon and an elephant in an elevator together
bit like that
garden in your backyard or are you just happy to see this sweater
they reach the top floor and the doors open
no no reference capital I
no not the bed
