Scooby Doo anxiety:

I would have been ok,
if it wasn’t for those
meddling hormones.
And here’s the big reveal
as we peel their masks off

my head,

Bleeding before being shot,
we lead a merry chase of me
through hallway doors.

Queue wacky 70’s montage.

Trust falling
backwards
through window

Crowd-surfing, face up
across the canopy.

Arms outstretched
buoyant on green.

Not-green
has no place
in this moment.

As I journey
across
dwindling
foliage,

fall waits

Eyelid twitches.
perhaps a sign.

Sign twitches,
that’s wind.

Wind blusters,
a wing has fluttered.

Wing it, sometimes
leads to success,

but failure also,
eyelid twitches,

which is

sometimes
the least of my
worries.

Consciousness partially exists
Outside of the 3rd dimension
Being able to conceive of
Concepts such as
Paradox or infinity
Greater by definition
Than the sum total
Of this entire universe
The Multifold is deep
In the branches of synapsis
Origami out of phase
Human grey matter has imploded
Subatomically
Into spooky action at a distance
Einstein was right
Time and space are relative
To our thoughts

We parent Quercus
and Pinaceae
indiscriminately,

executing
perfect places,

unintentional
uguisu-bari
soliloquizing
parallel corpses

16 inches on center,
clucking our tongues
in these echo chamber
shells, and covering
the evidence with
gypsum and latex.

Over the wall we
go, other unwise
it’s one-sided. You
don’t see unless
you ascend and
fall. Sure, you
could climb
down,
but better to
see limbs akimbo
and imbibe
adrenal gland
purée. Otherwise
you’re repeating
the climb in
reverse.

Where I drive
it turns blue.
Blue is
where I’ve
driven.

And I can’t
get away
from this
obvious

length.

The most I can
hope for is a
little yellow,
so things
go green

longer

I don’t like it.

I don’t like that
no one cares
that I don’t like it.

I don’t like not
liking everything.

Which might mean that
I don’t not like myself.

And I don’t care
that people don’t
like that.

And I’m not sure
I’ve entirely, like
convinced myself.

Rocks, and
you don’t have
to put on the darkness
just to float. The
pumice will carry
you readily, as
fast and loose
as you want currently.
There’s something about
your disequilibrium
that ruins me for
buoyant stone irony,
about as much
as ones that
weigh me down

Does the ground hog
have a shadow, or is
it a doppelgänger?
The 42 days are
unnecessary. Let’s
build a trap and
catch the copy.
It’s rather passive
to wait out winter
when we know the
cause of its delay.
Or maybe we enjoy
the cold. And
growing old.

The day that dreams
dreamed of days, they
signaled the singularity.
We were the anomaly,
an excess of homilies.
Existence no longer
justified existing and
seeing eye to eye was
blurry at second best.
Double the vision,
double derision,
and someone to blame.

1918 picture of you
on a Case tractor

plowing under. Grey
and fading to

sun bleached.

You’ve been dead
about 85 years.

I’m sorry I just
blurted you out.

Feels intrusive. Likely

in that moment, you
never knew I’d be
looking.

License plate migration.
No one surmised that
the secret to life was
encoded in their letters.
Scattered by Babel’s
discontent, it was
just there for the
deciphering, lazing
about in plain sight,
bumper to bumper.
Translation was near.
But the DMV had
other plans.

I am my own inverse.

No, that can’t be right.

I am a ratio of me to me.

Better.

The vinculum could also
be an infinite plane
turned on its side.

Or a prison prism
if you only look
forward, diffracting.

Look at the
foundation.
There’s a line.

There’s a line
and it looks fine,
of course

all other coarse
at the top, but
within the line

with crayons
that only dance
at the bottom,

and candles
floating, at
the line.

Meta for the

osmotic potential of

rivers and oceans
and slivers of notions

keeping current,

but if wind and city
reverse the flow,

am I anoxic?

Or do the aqueous
wrinkles lapping the
shore

owe, too

Normal order
of things.

And it goes like
this:

we don’t
pressure diamonds
to get ashes.

It’s like
piss on
porcelain,

there’ll be a
hole
eventually,

but we don’t
stop hydrating

I want to friend
you all, scoop you
up, hoard actually,

but I’d miss the days
we’d never have.
Which

is fine because
you are actually

a carpet of ants
that I drag my
sneaker across.

Miss you because
we had jeopardy
of bandwidth
and wall of water.

Nothing like
the panic of a
good moment.
Non idiomatic
offspring of
every that,
and quite the
overachiever
under believer
of when things
are good, they
can’t be trusted,
and the SOP is
quite clear on
this point. Good
things are just
bad things
in training.

Scattering matches
around to grow
a lawn of
flame

“Ain’t a mower
‘live ‘ll handle that
sumbitch” Earl
yells cross way
simultaneously
helpful and jealous

“Stay ahead of the
ice”, he says as he
kerchiefs his runny
brow, steeping
in his own tea
neither iced
nor hot

    Five stanza haiku;

    The burn comes to us
    Many forms unfamiliar
    Forest bush and vine

    Traveling the length
    Of connected things to all
    Where we are standing

    Not just hot summers
    Disrupting ecosystems
    Upheaval perceived

    Knowing how it ends
    We allow continuance
    No course change by us

    Culmination near
    We custodians of our world
    Face innate judgment

    I’m all angles, and
    nothing smooth about

    that time when I was
    cruel, discovering
    your thumb bent

    backwards, and I
    thought you were
    angles too,

    taking your tears as
    mutual joy of discovery,

    a shared moment, your
    gasp in my vacuum.
