Champ Crunch
rip the rip rip rip the
cellophane off yer lunch right quick
and grip grip grip
the sustenance that’ll sustain you through
the next quick lick of time—
you get yours and I get mine
and where we meet up, a divine fine line
ones and zeroes cannot quite define
the mixture that matter refines
Champ Crunch
sip the sip sip sip the
dew basket that you set up real quick last night
and run your tongue beside and along its outer rim
to take nourishment from the dew right quick and aright
your sight
your unblemished take on the course of that night
and evolution of our sharing of likes and dislikes
and time’s bend elastic and nothing said drastic
and no red flags arisin on the horizon
clean sight
Champ Crunch
heave the heave heave heave the
weight of the task and the pull pulling flask
that made me; estranged me from sight
but the full fallen bench a man a crouch a pinch
had come from the sky and planted on earth
a force fielded time shifting lens
the rainbow refracted and something distracted
but touch came and shattered that lens
and the bend of your back
under weightless touch is not not making my mind bend
back
Champ Crunch
self the self self self the
self is of consternation and patience is pleated
and no ground retreated the body language melted the time
communication word-flow lacks power
where merge-gain is power yet to wrap around after the time
so thankful both meet and no full retreat just holding and holding the line
the line that we ply when we’re blind
to time and times forces in meet met meat met fortress
where all that has divided is melted away and submissive
a crouch and an honoring posture to relay the respect of that line
Champ Crunch
learn the learn learn the
lessons at hand the hard hardness ran
smoothed and stepping out through the hand
and conjoined with a plan to rearrange the space
inside; both behind and under the eyes
the take task connected and shifted the massive
tangled up entrails inside
and the vessica piscis the zone so important
to look at refine and define
‘cause as we move forward and bend some more time
we mustn’t forget that there’s time to return to
a separate self mirrored and shined like a coca cola dime

Mem Nut

|
bon appetite
gnawing strike
mama of puppies
a vicious terror
moral probity
an adumbration
prod the dog
slow parade
hung up on the fence line
tumble weeds
neighbors in the night
rooting around
brittle scratch
wounded life

Don't Have NE Time

don't have ne time
to realign
don't have ne time
to reassign
don't have ne time
to compartmentalize
don't have ne time
so I guess I'm resigned to this time
don't have ne time

Meat Teeth
01:26

a songbird within the teeth
there's meat in my teeth
nerves to be sure
there needs to be relief
theyre making for the surface
an energy a pressure from within
impractical signed
theyre righting the wrong
wrapping up in ivory enamel
a practiced tingling song
a songbird within the teeth

Up and Out

when I wanna go up and out
when i wanna go up and out
when I wanna go up and out
let it all rain out
it all came out
when I wanna go up and out
wanna shift and shout
twisted snout
misted sprout
broken down
asymmetrical beehive
when I wanna go up and out

pushy people oh no no
pushy people no
but mushy people oh yeah
but pushy people oh no
I take comfort in my own capacity
as large as I’ve found it to be
as stubbornly I’ve pushed forward and away
away from some comforts
There is care, and there is determined care.
Sometimes one hops the fence into the others’ yard
splashing in the bird bath outside.
The birds relish water in this heat.
what is intended could be seen more
honored more than worn labels, words, and clock faces
the hands of the clock too tight
so that each tick takes more veneer
it is surely an ill fitting suit
To drift and float
in the luxury and luck that synapses receive
could draw one to casual dismissal or hot pursuit.
Are both in the car at once? Where is the driver?
I like you, I like you, I like you.
and my morphic field hangs now in my peripheral...
my peripheral vision?
And if not that, then, what?
There were signifiers all this time
times of forgotten forgetting the rhyme
delusional meat pit down below levels
and down below levels
edges sans bevels cutting sharp
along their edges into meat
over slow passage and up in the upper crust
in between in between
the follicle and bone
where crawling along sideways
is an anthemic “yes thought”
or feeling
the unification of the field and the posture blade
slicing and excising the plane
not so trite or urbane
and simply simply not plain
I take comfort in my own capacity
as large as I’ve found it to be
as stubbornly I’ve pushed forward and away

I go out walk
on the side of the road
gravel in my soles
I go out walk
by the side of the road
the refracted light of my glasses
burns a hole in my cheek
the burning sun
over head
my pants sticking to my knees
I go out walk
by the side of the road
look there's a toad
I go out I walk by the side of the road
each and every day
looking for pain
looking for play
looking to say I belong
gonna bring it to street level
c'mon I'm a clever devil
comin down the side of the road
look at you
sticking my thumb up at you
yeah I want a ride down
let's talk lets find out
if we can gel
if we can smell eachother's
pheromones oh I don't think so
it's just a ride down the road tonight
I can get to another location all right

Parrot in the Woods
02:55

it's winter time
the ice is fine
crystalline
refracting light
walking around in the woods
stalagmite like icy drops
from the leaves
that still remain on the trees
although there are few of these
in the winter time
in the forest of my mind
curious leaves
i turn them over
like pages in a book
whats the cover
going to say?
whats gonna be my
judgement day’s
title page
i don’t think I would ever really know
who are you?
back to the motherfuckin task at hand
walking around
in the icy winter wonderland
walking
crunching
icicles under my feet
look there's a parrot
where is it going
now its gone
was on the farm
parrot in the woods
icy day
