I: PARTICULAR STATION 



One coin, born blue, 
opts out: 

To come up for wires, to WANT tliem. 

Time shot tliem. 

Which is not to say the serial killer's 
sensitive tooth needs to be 

pulled nor crowned. We let birds 
go in cages 

all the time. Pets are 
free, in their way. 

The graphic novel 
lodged right above anubis? 

A mountain. What does a 

mountain desire? 

Now I'm in a mill. 
Mills make things: 
wills and dungeons. 
There's a free tour. 



IVesee 
falling ingredients. 



an entire body of throats: 



Would this not actually 

fall prey to known terrorists 
fortune and worth? Yes, throat-skin boy really 

could happen. 

Make a difference every day. 
What can you give, 
weasel? 



One building 

constructed from the outset. 

I'm in that vestibule's specs 
with an elf. SAY HELLO. 

Unfinished accretions 

mistaken for renovations. 

Vartificial gravity builds. 

The instant message is a 

caricature. Physics goes out a lot. 
Can't cook goat. 

A lot of cold fusion. I haven't seen 
myself in a while. STOP! 

Restitution makes 
woad people 
sick. The congress 
consensus aimed 
to terrify the loss 
of proper station. 
Empirical withdrawal, 
she told me. Who 
was she? Years 
it took for the moss 
to embrace 
the sublevel coils. 

From chopping board to chopping block. 

Several years 



]To reach a er steady state corruptible 
propulsion er[] 



off my life taken staring at it 



I've never smoked bacon 

nor wielded a river in a fight. 



Lacking basics 



besides smuggled air, 
slie steps 

into the empty glacier, 
two mosquitos 
mating caught 
as preservation . . . 
As they call it. 
Inhalation, drift 
aleppo. Scar tether 
wends towards the 
letters exhaled 
in waves by 
a distant giant 



Before the poke forms, it is 
nothing, a succubus, aluminum oil. 



Shunning industry (every 
material once a 
were-[iowan] reimbursed), 
I pant and quake, deposit tea 

into the atm, receive abacus back, 
would I like another transaction? I chew 
sinew and think about 

other moats. 

Graft sells 
scalp help 
swallowed in a 
vesper fit 



I enter theme 

through the dropshaft. 



Then it can't miss. 
Even wfien it wants to. 



If you want to continue, 
press ERR. 



I wake with a belly button, a thought. 
Cold tongue shot through the eye. 



flagpole through the ear. 
The instant turns into a 
decoy, 
leaning red. 



II: JACKAL-IHStCT COSMOLOGICAL RtSGARCH STATION 

Then the ez-bake oven, cooking rigor, broke, and the night cooled, 
and I couldn't find parts. I batted around extremities, lost with a 
lightness that absorbed coordinates. 

I broke into the crock pot with the lamb. 
Was a regular winnie. 

The chemical set wearing allergy, the pass, the article 

cure-all. The dumpy stillness quiet. 

The oven was tourmaline and inside 
my elbow. The door was a tendon. 

Cut paws, however. 
All left its hold. 

The moon was not above life. 
The moon was not abnormal. 
Any sign pointing on the moon 

had problems, failed 

algebra. The damp 

chef aligns at the tailbone, the adverb. 

Trustworthiness: mixed. 

Only on bluejob days does empathy 
rise for its inevitable departure. 
In 1898 my grandmother was born 
in a fetus. 

Those were the circumstances. No one 
aspired for much more. 

Sunrises set. The iowan and the elf 

must not be mixed. They are two opportunities, each 

with fur and hex on pressure points. 

These points were last seen 

on steamboats converted into slots 

and bridges. =They cannot be approached 



without sinking, 
witliout quarter.= 

And put on a space heater, it's cold. 

The instant message wormed its way. 

Complex unity put in sleep, found 

the golden tablet. Enter 

zima mind. 

Time travels forward and 

also to the shed for wood. 

A fir sun isn't green. 

Cram crypt. 

But how to achieve 
when I lash 

out at the simplest birdhouse trying to crawl away? 

Out of the fen, a speaker. 
Someone trying to take my witness 
without taking shape. 

Silkworms shot upward after sitting 
for a week. 

Finding pebbles instead. 

My grandmother stopped drinking 

after she died. 

For months I've receded, 

enveloped ruleboots. 

In hopes of a stave. 

But only field guides remain. 

To rock 

the stone, to not 
reward basilisks. 
There is no basilisk. 

=At night 

our bodies arson. = 

Words are either bathtubs or hairdryers. 



useless without water, empty without evasion. 

Fold pine tissue and fat. 

On night hike, a vampire sucks on a cherry pit, to keep his mouth 

from drying. Listen, Intel, 

the bakery is just down the street. It's 

open all night. For some reason 

I have credit. 

The ovens 

wait to be held accountable. 

But let's walk there 

Enzymes will break 

the patience like a door. My fangs loosen 

what the goat knew. 

The iowan slips into my house 

unawares, filled my 

textbooks and middle school crystals 

with tea and 
hard instructions. 

The bend erased them. 

A full box in my rope briefcase— 

What is in it? 

Consider a franciscan inside 
a ball— who put the 

box inside the ball? 

I am an ant. 



Ill: MySTtRIOUS STATION 

While boiling, instant starfish asks 
the anteater about perfecting 
one's skewer, despite obstacles, 

despite kettles. Cap off 

with trail mix, eyeglass ground, pigeons 

photoshopped into a cornfield. 

The constants. Miles 

inside elf, I hit an anteater. 
It had money so I took it. 
Forever paradise shall be 

closed to me. JACKPOT. 
Tamperer: worse to first 
dissolution. Brands kneel, 
wishing they could see out the year. 

At the top of the pyramid are 
the empty calibers. Stepping 
backwards reveals a fire escape. 

If I can't recognize perfect 

juniper, I'm not sure how reconstituting 

the head, in springtime, stamps 

its approval with zombie hoodies. 

Blue tower cranes face split 

graves. A highway toll runs 

through. A fine everywhere, for standing. 

I'm fine. Coming upon percival, 
a span covered with no land, 
it's hard to fathom the 
passing lanes, the banal seahorses 

with speedpass. Markers 
thunder. The fingernail 
clippings, the belts-if I 

owned beits-does might uncover their 
glory when the house plays 



daddy suture? Throwing 
all indices on the table. 

An anonymous phone will one day 
hitchhike across the underpass. 
There is a max of six profiles 

for the way, that is all that can fit 
in the heron's eye, motes 
chatter from the 10 thousand holes 
in the unfiled room. Up with bodies. 

Somehow born with advanced placement, 
tagged and only then found. But body 
fails, again and again, as product 

launch. A point inside the forehead 
invites spring rain and soggy 
turtle transformation when held. 
I used to collect library 

cards. The hand blinks. No one has 

yet come to the door. I've brought 

a cooler, socks, a detector, my grandmother, 

other small 

personal effects. Ibex future, 
ocelot past. I stopped 
inside the lantern, traded my 

brother's birthright for a fast meal. The lights 
followed me. Methods became 
desperate. Everything echoed when 
the mustard seed was reached. 

Activity helped-the hotel led a step 
class, and in the midst I 
collapsed. Be careful what you 

think about, the ladder said, melt 
enough times and two hierarchies 
becomes bronze, a third place. 
Release the letters into the gate. 

As a boy the iowan cleaned the 
post office. Map conditioner 



softening the scalp. Ley lines dowsing 

any chance of 

traveling humble. Everyone is topical 
here, the instant message has no 
place in these manacles 

hanging from the bunk. 
Barcode clouds about to storm. 
Once divination cornered me. 

I'm curious as to the current 
uplift effect. It does not resemble 
me. The likeness. Armor all 
dolphins. Pay attention strongly 

to the yellow skillet. Fiddling with 
its access panel on the handle 
reveals a motto, ohio. Hit on the head 

refreshes. Unspool the sapphire 
coat. Love the kettle. 
Every snapper mourns opening its 
habitats. Albedo object, I 

will not address you when I want 

to lose authority. 

The problem caress took many 

years to sterilize. 
When the elixir malt shop opens, 
scissors prove fleeting, though 
the register still cuts. And when the 

centaur comes, who among us is not 

a patrol, 

a colossus flop. 



1: A BRIEF, COMPENSATORy UOyAGE 

The transmissions depicted in tlie following feelings are not to be 
taken as expressions but rather autochthonic packets of vapor trails 
unleashed from bullshit interstellar travel. Scamander variances in 
light and entered. Time is to be determined when feelings go 
further, when even calm reaches a boiling point as a vessel breaks. 
Heard a lot more lost than the after-escapes. 

Once I wanted to tear out rough edges. Fiver with the cut lips. 

I commented. The shame was a whole set. Trudged up 
queensbridge nightmountain. 

When is an extinction a durable good? When takes a shine to your 
economy? Civilizations inverse into past bodily experiences. 
Usually gels. From aft, I can see the tracheas follow. Of which is the 
sole thread of their existence. Viral, the sentient black holes furl in 
tailbones. The freight lines infiltrated by immolators. I once tried to 
stoke one of their commands and nearly lost my inner cathedral. 



At the same time, though ephemeral, these vapors are not to be 
unloved. There have been times when people have wrestled with 
this difficulty and drawn 

a tradewind journey 

from an impersonal get. That imperial scapulars around necks 
during snowstorms--which people survived-didn't mean that the 
people should be killed, upon surviving, for wearing the scapulars. 
The elf turned a candle-fell down to the house core. The tongue 
neck and neck. What's here is on jupiter and loose-heavy in the 
belly boat. The tradewind more like a finder's fee. Curse freon 
jaunts. 

Okay, let me describe the thirty-three portals. One you'll never be 
able to find. Let's get that out of the way. The rest you can only be 
sent to. I know that you'd prefer to walk upon yourself, all over to 
get there. But you need voyages like this one. You're bound in 
spiders. Each door is indecorous and people live there. They're 
only trying to make money-just like you~and are not mechs. They 
spa on. It's easier for them to nick the elementary rather than 
disintigrate altogether. Check out weezer on each. They're playing 
on each one. 



The voyage tickets can only be found in the portals. On the shelf 
with your earrings and the like. 

The instant message-ah, how do I put this? 

Because people are not expected to stay awake nor recite 
anything. It's all comped. But do they? They do. Fathers and 
daughters, fathers and sons communion breakfasts. Arcdoom 
memories of sour church shivers. They don't end up in the help's 
faustian health, walking by the caloric sharktooth before they die. 

Traveling design appears (traveling politic appears as a sentient 
constellation following quick behind). At the same time passengers 
are not expected to stay impressed. Their betters (captions) have 
hammers that impress. There is scenery, although at times it may 
be difficult to 
punctuate 

through the porthole. Difficult to depends. Crew eats sea catalogs. 
Due dispensation. Unicorn hearts purify methane. Entering an ice 
mist! Beware personal steganography. My mother is cutting off her 
fingers in the galley, feeding them to a goat. I feed the newsletter 



into the telescopes. Depictions of molten iowa. A constellation is 
nothing beyond what you hope. 9.2 times your mass let it find. 

I live with certain parts of myself that are gone. Is it the worm on the 
hook or the hook on the worm? They intertwine, for awhile. The 
type of project that requires being naked. No, the parts don't 
respond. I've tried. God knows I've tried. Coming out of a store-any 
store-and wanting to wear something clean. The red eye sees at 
night (though I can't see it). I come out of a store and people are 
waiting there. To go in. They wait only for a few seconds. Then they 
fly up the diamond elevator to the shepherd moon. 

Beyond that, the final destination gathers important news about 
when you die in a biscuit. Then he fell to the ground. 



lU: UeNISON'S LOGOS STATION 

I once had an idea to write an essay about 
Talent cremation, and for a long time the empty 
Password stoked passion about skill sets, 
And the possible annihilation of what training 
Was inoculated to prevent; that is, a sense 
That my place would be a punctuation of lasting 
Control, and predatory impulses in the mind 
Could be recalibrated to sever any fellow crosswalk 
That would impede accreditation inside the 
Wounded fog around us. However, the minute 
Vapors, in their way, were also semi-autonomous 
Spirits with distinct agendas, as well as their 
Own travesties, and were not so easily controlled. 
Despite their generosity-if it could be called 
That-to allow themselves to be shaped by 
Amphibious ephebes. For most, this is merely 
Camouflage for an episcopal parsonage, with 
Twice-monthly sermons at the local barista 
Orphanage, then a pension, a summer traipsing 
Through the colonies-climate control transposed 
Into a kind of science fiction. It's not a narrative. 
Exactly, but if commandeering the ether 
Into supplies, crossbows, laser pointers, agreeable 
Booths-the simulacra pointing at the tactical 
Raft that floats to the moon-works, then it's 
Certainly a fair game with the most pernicious 
Jaywalkings inculcating a guard let down, to 
Confuse, with cupidity, the political devilment 

That many use to craft a likeness of subversion 
Itself from the aforementioned fog, a molecular 

Brand, a watermark dropped, to provide 
Separation from herding instincts that, like 
Faith, no one has but everyone believes in. 
Athousand noahs could alight on the dove's 
Rudder while flying over the flood of discarded 
Stepping ladders, and the drowned could 
Mistake that bird of peace for a swashbuckling 
Comet, or a sentient olive branch, but in 
Time-that is, when it's too late-all realize 
Obscurely that there is no ark, or rather the arks 
Are in the gullet, and nineveh is too small 



To crawl inside. Then tlie arks tliemselves 
Are sliat onto jonali's galaxie wliile driving to 
Dodge. Tliis is more tlian normal, this 
Would be an unparalleled emulsiflcation 
Of jaywalking, pirating support systems to 
Expose a bathetic lack of credence to juries, 
Or to fake dissolving the self in order to gain 
A significant other and privacy: two 

Canaries with the same asphyxiating copper 
Lungs. If only if it were as simple as erasing 
Lunar dispensations, but it's unclear 
Whether I ended up stumbling from the 
Third president's corpse like a maggot by 
Any means other than exhaustion. The therapeutic 
Room, at that age, experienced me, and into 
Miniature golf mountains I crawled. Other 

People would not look at me, but this 
Was a project both of tiger beat socialism 
And my peerless cravings that, to my luck. 
Atrophied. I was left with vortices from 
Childhood, tunnel crawls, wandering roles. 
A great recluse lives in the city, they say. 
While a minor hermit lives in the mountains. 
Sentence adventures, then, were their own 
Severity, and the opportunity for a celestial 
Mulligan in of itself proved tempting 
And entertaining. Embryonic string theory 
And wound garlands abounded with 
The speculations, then audience participation 
Stabilized the attraction to despair, and 
The dull brambles that I had not yet waded 
Into invited parlance and a will to hug 
Pipelines. Atrade, then. Mere ethers. 
This time stretching to the moon and beyond. 
Which seemed like a good idea to most 
In 1 890. And so went the application of 
Former junk scions, dwarven moxie. 
Philosophical corsairs. The coasts could 
Exorcise any bureau into the steppes. 
Collapses occurred-how could they not? 

Arquebus attendants, under the baleful 
Eye of rigged parliaments designated 
By space's minor feifdoms, made cuneiform 
Tremblings hide in the gray laundromat 



Above the green arcade. I can always 
Hear the cents rattling loose in the washers, 
The crowds hovering around, waiting for 
The pennies to dry. Which is not psionics 
Or mindfulness on my part, and who knows 
Whether material emphases bare their 
Heads solely as heaven's skee balls- 
Whether or not the matter is monist cant 
Or pay rate indentured to aesthetic 
Stagflation hanging in a tube sock. But 
I love heads. My spiritual chuck wagon 
Accidents are too numerous to recount. 
No one will know them. Whispers from 

The mandate promising freedoms skirt 
Around me, race to detach themselves 
From my everynight departures. And still 
They depart with the myrmidons. They 
Will always. The world is not yours to 
Like, the grooves say to me. 
How could I doubt this. No hint 
Guides or quells. My client state 
Is desperate, and my body is that 
Companion found wanting. 



U: TR£ASURe TOUER STATION 

The far room lamb's lip mined. 

Sell $1 .50 in the change seats for a magic goat, 

but the animal turns out to be hollow. A lemon. Basics 
flourish underneath the calendar, the 
sixty confidences have voted me into 
an underworld canoe. 

Underwolf, rather nebbish for a wolf. 

Passenger embers, a credit 

to families everywhere. 

We can't trust rehab without a parcel 

landing on someone, crowning, face it. 
Her toenails trance. 

But the goat did return home with the money. 
It later founded a render. 

Wanting azure 

banshees to float 

Attention farther. They kit double. 

At night the elf lies in the 

middle, both sided. 

Places its chaw 
in the crucible. 

Falcon, who is your Sweden. 

Commonwealth slides my calves over. 
Don't touch it! 

She crossed her legs and 
water pistol with ease. 
Floated near the bunk 
with her performance cards. 
They spoke grains. Her 
father died coming here 
as a pollywog overlap. 
She never speaks to him 
about herding instincts 



cultivated in tlie desensory tanl<s. 

To mistal<e conversation for 
political retreat. 

Rhino's protective measures strip mined. 

Hurried cultivation, 
a vital package, truck pull sutra: Sunday, 

Sunday, fire. 

Ditching cincture and purina. I don't 
even know where cinnamon comes from. 
An infatuation for temperament. 

My nose a red warn. 

I wake underneath feathers. 

Shaker climbs onto the chair. 

Flux core procession continued well 

into the ex-prairie morning. 

Riding the season until it 
rides no more. Breathe out breed, 
let the essential outflank. The canoe 
keeps digging wavelength, 

judge less straining. 

One year complete reality 
trampled under boughs of mayo trees. 
It bought gas, shell; and 
dogs, iowa. 

Talked about the perpetual 
thrown into the sea. 

Talked a good game. 

Upright eel inside the message. 
At times it whips crude. 

Such is the igneous 

event flat. Production does 

the jobs of two people, under these 

conditions one always has 

to expect more. Substance 



limbo. A call to resemble 

the cavern 

where those kids died. 

Owe office a little something 
from the donjon, like ventilation 

running out. 

Bring home the special tigris 
claw that married your ancestors. 



UI: STATION OF UeLFARE'S UINCH 

After a few years the 
dissolution began to tire 
tlie collars, and the 
hyacinths sewn into the 
department's mores-a 
garden for those 
fallen pupils- 
started speaking to the 
listening tours in the 
bureau quarterstaff. 
It spoke, but only until 
the hinterland cells 
built altars out of 
wrestling magazines and 
red eye flights to the 
hazmat conservancies. 
Only then did the message 
break its enabler, 
tossed the vase 
depicting an avalanche 
in the lush anonymous 
fronds behind the 
seneschal's summer 
cottage, the cottage 
being a skyscraper 
of its era, five stories, 
with the wind corners 
facing east towards the 
mercenary quarry. Only 
then did balkan 
detail pipe-in request 
lines, that the revolution 
would be neither hurried 
nor profound, that the 
scales would only 
fall when the jackals 
cleared the crescent 
essence. Pneumatics 
masked, portraits hung, 
good wine 

burned. I was teaching 
at the iowan's house 
that winter, the stove 



warmed the troglodytes 
aboard, we heard the 
news and drove the 
house to the closest 
jack. I tied the grotto 
around my waist to 
protect it from harmful 
orders. The bubble tea 
sours quick in the 
strip mall, a few 
days and it's over. 
Our ocean begins 
in the central provinces, 
where the trilobytes 
used to raise families. 
Our homegrown 
scarabs. The lioness 
seeks out cheetah cubs 
and crushes their 
necks. Cyborgs 
perform admirable 
Shetland pelts. When 
I plugged in, the 
grams asked for a 
pillow. The winding 
snow was complicated. 
I gave up my feathers. 
Blaming the carapace 
inn. Specific patrons 
hung from their 
windows with the 
best sheets. They 
dangled. Many armies 
tried to wait out 
the ram, but solid it 
kept through many 
nights, they had to 
cut the flags loose 
and start over. General 
goliard was raised 
in orbit, with wolves. 
The princess fade 
was not unexpected. 
Cubs tend to 
falter, the hen 
autarchs can't kill 



every diamond fox. 
She didn't leave a 
perfume from lier 
locket or wrist. Her 
mortician action 
figures. The atlantas 
grieved. Not really. The 
benevolent union 
had their annual ball 
underneath the authclthonic 
aspen, on schedule. 
Nominally in her charity. 
Dissolution kept in 
one of the sheds with 
a laughing bandana 
stuffed in its mouth 
like fertilization. The 
stanima, to take the 
elevator broached. 
Pioneers tired, discus 
mind, they were 
enjoined. The fig 
slugs attempted 
escape off the best 
silver. Vole masks. 
The iowan melted the 
dishes down all 
night, fast as they 
could come, the 
swine codices and 
hooves for later 
utilization at the 
shareholder's meeting. 
It ate its shitty sandwich in 
the bathroom. Everything 
was delicate foul, one 
of the selectors 
muttered, already 
a higher smoke. 
Permits were not easy 
to kill by, because 
material's observances 
browsed the very 
welcome jackals that 
the cassandras were 
sworn never to 



overrule. Peacefully, 
of course. 
Beats shaped 
conversational priorities.

the tiers, their place 
in them. Of course

obscene degree.

Raven cargo, then. 
Upon waking, invisible

Afterparty in eaves. 
Clearly a strategy to 
deny the protective 
instincts were once 
parity. A mother's 
unguent. But only a 
small part of the 
impulse. Only unscathed. 
A panther cued 
from the jackass aria. 

The instant message 
crawled up the 
sting tree. Bitter 
necrotic hats removed. 
However, to treat the 
interior monologue as 
linoleum, the scrapes 
as appetites.

Run the negotiations up

gelding is only part of 
the actual. Living 
in a converted brig, a 
storage bin. As if 
each stranger's upper 
body were a sippy cup, 
unbreakable and 
designed to leak. The 
dock inclusive, to 
an extent. The sitting 

rooms, a-frames, 
undisturbed coyotes to 
pet. Below-or beside- 
the unscathed cornea, 
kid wraith, ex- 
rainbow. Persecutory 
shelf. She transfers 
her navel to the goat. 
Roots cropdusting 
the bed. Then her 
ankles. Cruising the 
horns. She knits a 
sweater in the five 
seconds for the goat 
to remove its retainer. 
A pure target, a 
complex des moines 
gland. The goat 
leaves its performance 
ticker, for filling. 
Every last diaphragm 
sheds its epiderms. 
The iowan hung a 
shape on the jamb. 
I asked what is 
it. It straightened 
it, smoothed its 



creases. Eventually 
a janitor took it 
down. I hounded 
my oaths. Somehow 
she captured her 
semen, stored the 
cavity in 

her spine before 
its release. Having 
no jackal, I 
went down a 
level to find a 
piece of bread to 
wash my net.

She wrapped the davenport in 
foil. When I asked her why, she 
told me to look closer at the markings 
on the fabric, which were linux. 
We're taught to be defective, TO 
FAULT what we love, she said with 
no benedict's traits. The sofa 
came from my grandmother, I 
said. And mine. Destriers wanted 
privacy in their own holds. If she 
tapped her knuckles against the 
faux in a particular way, who would 
come down for catatonic inspections?

When I woke the davenport was 
standing above me and not at 
all afraid. I 

startled, and the davenport held 
an ax close to my face. More 
like a hatchet. Your cot is 
windowless and humiliating it said. 
I was too afraid to say anything 
inflammatory or hide my face, 
in spite. A clean reeled outside 
but was too late to knock. The 
illiterate davenport continued: 

You will accompany me to the 
folk arts festival on level 9. 
The chimera union lets in 
bird files. Still covered in oil, 
we left my quarters to the 
accompaniment. The unix 
on its skin was still garbled, 
transient. We were secure. 
It held palms. Though its face 
was hidin from me, I countered 
with antes from my coast 
infected past. But surprising me 
with gratitude, it let me try 
on a bracelet from the nonprofit. 
All this trouble, I said. 
The bracelet shambled up 
my arm, as if on a final approach 
to the hive's summit. Is it 



real pyrex, I asked. In good 
time. The falcons closed up 
shop just as the coats began 
singing their buttons to sleep, 
lest they explode. Once 
there was a nook near an abyss 
where a conch lived. Eventually 
the incinerator encroached, 
but as the disposal 
burned, the conch turned the ash 
to a whale cassingle. 
Someone said the abyss 
started the fire, but I really 
didn't believe that. My past 
is an elk eating a child's 
notebook. The child is running.

3: UOyAGE INSIDE A CAUE PAINTING DEPICTING A GIANT ELK 
SHOUED OFF AN ASTEROID 



The station is written on the walls of the STATION. A planetary 
station where skill is only eurybathic under the most hateful 
circumstances in a station. Brought to bear in 2500 competitive 
arctic environments under the foam of the station where I touched 
your STATION arm. Barnacles on the walls of the stat mom. 
Raising true brinks weep. A godly presence clusters at a vane birth 
bureau connecting the STATION to the station. This is not an 
essentialism in regards to the linguistic propulsion units that take 
one to the station. These have been soundly refuted by several 
competing academies after the invention of interstellar travel (a true 
tweak in terms of fearsome properties of candor). A few hold that 
the words are not thoughts and vice versa. That they are separate 
brinks. I've broken down a laboratory only when I've felt few. 
\ 

Planets are small. In their carnivorous forests are high schools in 
which notary is discussed except for archery, hybridity and games 
of clone involving small pieces of lane. Piloting the faster craft, 
therefore, has always been reserved for sylvan derelicts. Their 
caught. I peed inside the canteen. 
\ 



PLAYS were once staged inside lydian trees. Combusting/resting in 
sliore time in a luna specifically designed for this purpose. There 
are three bookstores on this inept base for spacers. One is a 
spacer bar inside a TREE, the walden. A second is in a cao dai 
aquarium and involves a multitude of pamphlets involving reveal. 
The third bookstore is the side of an ancient postage stamp and is 
affixed on the wall of an abandoned art center. Funders and funding 
died in a late 24th century purge. To make purchases, on is sticked 
one's pinky upon the ochre surface of the story. Lone-celled 
tentacles puncture and affix to the skin. Books enter the 
bloodstream. The fungal chipping late away into the nightlight later. 
To concoct a fearless glob out of nothing much knowledge. Deathly 
PAMPHLETS are understood to be necromatic consuls disguised 
as people. On a dozen worlds, religious afterlives are performed 
concurrently with thought-guilds. I buy a paper against my peril and 
my father. Propane against demonstrating credence beside the 
bedpan which is also made of the future. My FATHER is in the 
window of the future STATION. It's this document that's unwilling to 
know me that excites me the most. The numinous is a temporary 
tattoo seared on by a meteorite blast in the adjoining neighborhood. 
My feelings range from desk to hired. Wherever I roamed for kicks 
didn't mean that I went much out anywhere.

One time the elf and the goat walked into a wellaway, 

and they could not get out, and on the third day 

of their escape attempt, the elf asked: if you had 

to release every vehicular thought

about it? 

The goat turned into a dauschund. 

This was collected on the station, kind of.

XII: OPeN-AIRED STATION RESEMBLING AN ADUANCED TOUCH-TaPE 
INSTITUTE 

After auspice rancor roadblocks grew, 
I entered the state park in 1849, 
before it was founded, to better under- 
stand ttie airport, the herd's spouse. 
With great surprise I found the airport 
under construction. The foreman 
roped a few beaver pelt entrepreneurs 
into groundbreaking the control 
tower, lashed birch at this point, but 
they hoped for slate once the manitobas 
opened their quarries to the downriver 
passages. Workers slept next to the porta 
latrines. I tried to be adept, keeping 
close to the treeline, but I startled, 
as anyone would, when the roc 
landed at the runway. The roc 
was christened the thetis. I didn't 
ask about its propulsions and obits. 
I eventually crept out and pretended 
to be an investor. The rock licked its 
wing joints, but the handler would not 
provide water, even though the 
aircraft was clearly parched. A golden 
stepladder released its catch and 
the passengers emptied from the hollow 
pancreas, thirsty themselves but 
none worse for the wear. Water was 
provided. The tennessee permafrost 
was lovely, a smooth excursion. 
The frayed servers inside the parasols 
began to set up camp. How could I 
not be a mark? Downriver, I could 
smell the lye from the acid-washed 
jeans refinery, illegal of course, but how 
could pilgrims otherwise outweigh 
their welcome in a cold land? Soon 
the digits would fall off, and then 
heads, the iowan churning past 
with its liquid nitrogen rag bag. 
Construction would halt until the 
emergency ovaltine would be air 



lifted in. Tliere are only so many 
acid washed jeans you can wear 
at one time, and you'll never warm. 
I stayed for two winters, back to 
back, though the eye blinked, and 
spring dropped like a development. 
Gifts sought from capitals, then, 
to further advance space flight 
in the years of the polk and pierce. 
Space being mindfulness in the 
hearst, at least until the destination 
empties. The roc prayed to its 
pancreator, which I desired to be 
a giant toaster, anything for warm 
pup tents. If you only recite the air 
tower's name, then benevolence will be 
a gifting extreme, you will never die, 
none will fall on you from great 
heights when walking to the general store. 
That was the pitch. Seemed like 
ten fairnesses. The rocs left for 
hostaged climes, and I remained 
with only gamesmanship and a spitball 
purity around my heart. Investor 
impermanence amongst frozen sap- 
how could I hope to keep my cold 
medina preserved throughout the 
winter tendrils that I slept through? 
I contemplated returning to my own 
era, amongst talking seas and 
diamond corridors, where the pitches 
sank without traces. I was sure 
I owned my failings, that imagining 
porn in my frostbite tent was a 
mere survival mechanism, like 
eating or praying. In my time, beds 
tipping against necks were quiet 
unattained wooden chrome, lost 
in circular rooms overlooking that 
one planet I always forgot. The one 
with rust rings. Of such things I 
could not speak about. They took 
me to be kind, of average height and 
appetite. Pancakes and venison were 
the norm. Tassels in my eyes 
at inopportune moments, but no 



graduation ceremony could possibly 
prepare me for the miscellany 
under my passport feet. After a 
spell, the talk turned to mountain 
nooks surrounding our valley 
confidence, and the wise apples 
growing like tubers on the boulders. 
Which was clandestine soil. These 
would sustain the messages living 
on spires until, wield grown, they 
became too embarrassed to aver 
from casinos on the high, high rocks.

inventing duluth 

after duluth, 

which required shores III and V 

The shore was a technical limit, 
as technical as it gets. 

And the flus and ponytails everywhere.. 

Walking around a million so-called iowas. 

Once you pop one. 

Working so-so 

at it. 

The hole in my head's head. 

Entry come and see me sometime 

when the aqualine sorrows 

cry vitae, vitae. 

And otherwalls. 

Heading south 

into the atkins and the kept at it 
broke my nose 

Into the swifter and the swifter 
broke my nose 

Into the headroom and the lost it 
broke my nose 

Into the tab and the white cells 
broke my nose 

Into the shanty and the incomplete, -okay, now 
heading north- 
broke my nose 

Into the character and the hoard 
Into the cardigan and the don't tempt me 
Into the space and the numberball 
Into the in and the into 
broke six 

This could go in the storm cellar. 



And decay caught its 

own wrists. 

Before did-no-liarm. 

Misunderstanding how one flies off 
the handle. 
Syndicate, nights, 

let me in. 

But not wanting to be let in 

runs the surprise, ruins the mistakes. 

Kept at kept throwing away. 
Not really trying. If you're hot 
that works. Otherwise, look, 

stability has worn worse overalls. 

Then I saw how the pine 
broke through the red meter. 

Decay rolling over little elfville. The lanes 
crunched. Sleeveless work. Millions of 
sparklers and reptiles went off. 

After finishing gossip, paper mints, 
room awfuls, a few shouts, 
wealth pendulums, caramels, 
bruises, sunshines, t-shirts, collisions, 
Wallaces, droves, powers, packs, 
ices, perks, roamings, charges, 
nipples, whales, roasts, cants, 
hippodromes, majors, crevices, 
opportunities, ibexes, calms, easters, 
fjords, breaths, camels, hoodies, 
smokes, dukes, tiaras, bests, 
necks, ducks, trains, hopes, 
lefts, paths, purses, waterparks, 
glows, shants, proses, shines, 
periodicals, ruses, plants, 
quarks, coughs, stabs, rocks, 
universities, thrillers, takes, 
hints, wilds, 
waterpapers, dollars, categories, 



hips, creams, drapes, flings, 
rents, balls, stealths, 
cartels, eggs, fires, watches, 
and personals free up 
spaces on the hill for whatever 
they see, as if in a van 
driving past arson. Having carrot 
sights for stick sounds, 

across we distill. 

Syllables' pigtails 

don't waste whose money? 

Isn't it shocking at 

the cookout how we uninvited 

ourselves? Stayed the course 

through many rides? Into ideas 
of how trustworthy a central 
ibis becomes, a nester 
when required, needing water, 
needing draft. Containers. 
One pill coating essentials. 

If I entered a burning essay 
on the hill, how far would 
the light go to centralize 
other lights? Once 
inside, the elves wait 
inside the refrigerator for me 

to leave, so they can resume 

waiting for the power 

to expire. I promise 

them a butcher on the other side 

but they don't listen! 

The refugee camp is pretty cool. 

They are tired of migrating. 

They are not birds. 

On top of the 

TV, I find 

a penny from a country. 

The less anyone holds 

paths against my cheek 

like a compress, the less I'll return. 



I'm not rated. All start 
clapping as the janitor 
enters the gleaming tower with a 
large bag.

XIU: MODEST SUBTERRANeAN STATION 

I'm over over. Essentials 
deep fried. I try to walk 

tlie tunnels without return. 
Where snowfall can be 

mistaken for 5-minute rice 
boiled in a pouch. Privations 

further you, the tunnels say. 
The wants 

stop for water. A coffin 
perfectly sealed isn't 

doing its job. Previous 
sittings usefully 

lame. Without seasons. 
Iowa only reads 

the local section. 

I am a football stadium. 

(allison operates tracks) 
(opiates violate adult swim) 

Here's the only appearance 
of a dragon, jade dad 

of course, at least 
this once, its tail 

to be avoided altogether 
as safe. Insert a 

tunnel. I've missed 
my stop, may. 



HU: STATION OF IMAGINAR'd CIUILIANS 

Dynamite over and over! 

Like lambs to a sheep dog 

or a building! The old 

tricks overpenetrate! Polo 

is a cult! I work downtown! 

In a skyscraper! A cemetary 

was not uncovered in its 

burial times! I'm passing! 

This has little to do 

with my autogenic predicament! 

I don't call! I've started 

chanting! And yet I abhor cults! 

Why is that! The station is 

near orion's shoulder! Or 

somewhere like that! 

Complex remembrance 

chlorinates the dead bodies! 

I've forgot! Each form 

according to its own means! 

Even duckweed! 

Which has nothing to do 

with ducks! At the same 

time this is never a deception! 

In thirty years the coral 

snows will die! 

Listen to me! 

Why are you drinking your vinegar 

in a state of tranquil extinction! 

Everything's a goal! 

And yet the goal is 

part of the vernacular! 

As well as account numbers! 

Which are also esoteric! 

But how does one let the 

number turn the number 

into a diamond trailer 

blossoming on the roof! 

Akin to a satellite signal! 

How the fuck should I know! 

By turning I meant a 

change of heart! A rusty 

bolt! Else one can use 

exoteric erector sets! 



The diameter of the heart! 

Which is just a muscle! 

I've been piercing together 

qualifications! Deep inside 

my bureau is a sexy 

chessboard! Where I play 

out my problems! And 

yet I haven't played for years! 

Sometimes the lines 

keep breaking! But this 

has a lot to do with a lack 

of right justified pepper! 

A paper altar! I'm not 

complying with my own 

hope! I'm dizzy! 

There is no station! I think 

I said that already! And yet 

the people living there 

keep calling! They have lives! 

What is their halflife! 

And how are they communicating 

vast distances without 

the aid of an ansible! 

I'm eating a powerbar! 
It's not real per se! 
What I would give to be 
pampered and incompetent! 
And yet the ceremony 
of the air depicts jeweled 
trees! And I've never 
seen a jewel on a tree ever! 
However the ceremony 
insists that every tree does! 
The elf signs off on this 
notion also! My doubt 
is relief! The instant message 
unpacks a flatness! 
Which is generally easier 
to walk than a mountain! 
I would like that! 
I have nothing against 
mountains! My voice 
is getting hoarse! 
I don't say anything 
during my lunches! 
No one speaks to me! 



But I'm not desperate! 

Does living in the moment 

involve straining the eyes! 

Or any other body part! 

We are all leopards! 

We are endangered! 

Shut up! 

I didn't mean that! 

I love you! 

And also your goat! 

Do you herd! 

I've fallen asleep in a 

restroom! I bet this 

happens to everyone 

when they're asleep! 

I have a little captain in me! 

It's from appamatox! 

Sadly all lovers 

will leave you! 

Next time I'm quiet 

I'll buy dinner 

for everyone!

Grieving ghosts party in the trees woo

Note passionate germanic butterflies: 6 came onto me whe I ws

radiating phylos. They left the drive. Will my department dry in the 
weak of the sun before december, or will the empire haunch its way 
into the lifetime breakthr\ughs? Saturn alike was never a picnic. My 
grandsome poking from an inferred requirement. This laAness-so if 
the trees able to ring out cash their fetters laid off, there might be 
foresworn shoptalk left in the bank. Again 

polar bears taking the fall in coral bleach. As if I can't talk ot you. As

Perhaps across the river people are leaked differently in the dollar

After easy racing toward compassion led astray with an

of my ceps, can't remember which one or dart. Sooooo tranquil. 
Paths on the station attendxd by horse tracks, with a faint pine and 
bitters ducted from me to you. Lyre touch slaves. Down driver 
crossing, bees of poison and plenty. Troll ring stark heartless, 
watching hipbone like the swathed whales. You slept while you 
danced, up on 6, to your content, while everyone was on

Our iowas intermingled our invention of barley harvesting. Flax was

choirs understanding the straw allisons propositions sweetly under 
a magazine, how it lunged at us, filled our hearts with distances that 
we didn't want to create. Every tract came with a home and a thigh. 
Souls musing from inside a chord sick of prepositions and the we,

WUIII: STATIONCOH (HOME OF THE NIGHTL'd "DANCE OF THE 
UEREUOLF") 

I've forgotten how to live 
shrewd, which I guess is 
the point, although wait 
I have echinacea in my little 
pouch, and Oceania, and some 
starbursts. They grate 
against me. Unpack the little 
altar from my chest and good 
riddance to go, as far as it 
goes at the worst 
possible moments. When the 
armies after fording 

Columbia pawsitively drown, there is a period- 
lily in clemency, when 
knees conquer barbs, and my 
table tray can hold 
any ceremony without glancing 
at the collapsable 
sofa telling me 

execute, execute. However, armies 
never retreat. They only 
resupply anthropology 
to suit sore throats, 
lifting conch to wine presses, 
the industry inside 
a who wouldn't kill 
for a wheat thin moment. 

Permeated fellowship appalls 
but worth actualizing if 
gear bends for another subpar 
season in depth. Trace 
elements doused, but happily 
only for the time 

a fang takes to 
accrete mountains 
in an afternoon. 
And at times unearthed 
into a sandbox read 
by costume balls. 

A ball was 



had. A city 

erected out of minute 

gravel grade 1 . 

In regards to the empress 
mudpuppy making banl<s 
chic fens-had it not been 
mentioned in the collectible 
program?-she knew 
architecture well, she studied 
assyrians and their beheaded 
sensuals. She took 
long distances and adorned 
seahorses with geothermal 
castles. And even here, 
though faint, the instant 
message foxed spheres, 
bubbling under like a technical 
illustrator's last breath 
in amphibious spring, a 
feudal month in 
a home rehabed with syrup 

and sog carrots damning 
the throat. How empty 
the needle howls iowa, iowa, 
how hoarse. This zirconium 
cufflink life, willing depictions 
for a few seconds after midnight. 

This is expedient. 
This does not happen. 

The dance where lightness 

came to, midnight entered wolves 

and votives in equal drams, 

where my father was a courier 

on decommisioned nazi 

trains, and the goats made 

caves in giant 

blocks of munsteur. The goats 

stuffed with sausages large 

as roasting townhalls. 

They still roast, 

and there in the barley 

and gall my father 



danced with mermen in 

wliat is now a tennis 

slioe factory. Trains carried 

sacks comatose. IVline 

everything, leave no curio 

no matter how amusing 

to squander. Once there, 

in motherland, jackets shared, an 

untried faith in lager 

showers, isolation with 

demons, lack of malts, worms' 

ampitheater, and always 

the trains, past alps and means, 

plastic sunglasses, the children 

still wanted chocolate, 

although I'm not entirely 

sure, and the priests with 

white revolvers attended to 

my father's mermen in the squadron, 

leaving my father itself 

wanting in spirit, though no 

one pressed could attest to papal 

wishes after the combustibles 

had been expirated from the 

public record. 

Flies hopped the trains and 

died on track. He slept 

with guilt, which he told 

me about often. The mermen 

had gills like vikings, 

wide when excited, and along the 

edges a mound 

would grow, 

especially when smoking. 
My father tried not to glance, 
it was rude when america 
was playing its saxophones. Also, 
when grabbing a serviceman like my 
father by the hand, one could 
see quite clearly a tiny knob 
inside the gills, a control 
of sorts, and this too would enlarge 
or contract depending on 
various phenomenon in and 
around the forest bar. From 



the gills there would be an 

odor, like an oven cooking 

a fish market and a bank robbery. 

Yet for a few gentle years my 

father danced to this, slow or 

fast who cared, with mermen. 

I grew afraid the first time 

I learned about this. We drove 

around the lake. The armies 

in my own were still nebulous, 

untranslated crabs, and the 

instant message would 

only inscribe clouds and little else 

in the way of nimbus or bicycles 

through the three vintage 

youths I endured. 

Lasting vignettes: 

With an american q-tip he 

would try to transfer 

orders to hawaii. Unnoticed. 

Hearses tie up. In sight of 

hungary, the mermen warn him: 

a car will enlighten this gate, your 

original sin is in a ghost's 

tumor and not suitable for 

this middle world. The red 

star fights you, your paintings 

remotely. The tower had aphids 

marching up the walls. 

I'm surrounded by non-glancers 

in a sickness, and 

the sweet shot jackets 

amber veins. The instant 

message is about the body. My 

father confused it with a robe 

and egypt. His younger sister 

stillborn in vizier omaha. 

The film stills 

showing this were ok but not worth 

dubbing, though they were, 

upper management worth 

a good laugh. Taken on 

holiday. Change pens, maybe 

that will do the trick. When 

the faces change without warning 

and agribusiness wouldn't think 



of holding the door open. 

Unless to let itself in and with 

a smirk. Driven short 

into my father's curios. His car 

that drove off a cliff in egypt. 

Where napoleon smirked. Even this 

empire prays for him. In 

the mesh fortress, invaders 

do not confuse chaucer frosties 

with impotent bogs, 

where domed tadpoles will 

grow performance fleece and 

cuspids and leech it. I have 

about thirty on my arms! I 

picked them up from customs 

in iowa, where my father 

and I drove there to go 

out for a lamb. Onyx chickens, that's 

a fake cry in a fake 

german accent, you fake tunnel. 

He would confess in a chapel 

that used to be an interrogation 
room like my bedroom. The 
chaplain masticates on a 
goat rack. Mermen are 
useless to him. They are 
aberrations, designed by 
swedes, the priest would often say. 
Hate them but at the same 
time champion their needs. 
Say to them, please sit 
next to me. Please put 
a hand on my knee. 
I'm willing, Columbia. 
I still don't know who the they 
is that everyone dead 
refers to dearly. 
Instructions safeguard 
happiness from ecstasy. 
My father drinks peas 
when I'm not looking, he 
drinks wheelchairs and paddleboats, 
he recites augustines and 
wave re rs, he 
flagellates grammars 
and cliffhangers. 



he cheats by never 
pardoning his elves their 
condolences, he has never 
understood science fiction. 



6: POINTLESS UOaAGE 

Merely because of difference, the plane is about to land. Taking off 
again. I'm landing. Fussing with the controls always. Flattery gets 
hoops nowhere. Unfinishing moves fail. Method only wants your 
reality thinking to itself. My beholden false memories to the wingtip. 
My route, when iowa flies over the smoke and mangle, involves 
light signs structured as smoke. My brother wakes in the wingtip. 
He is liberated when he sits. That's what's killing me. I tried talking 
to him about the station, the anchorite uptick of mistakes. Brushes 
cleared away. Our pacemakers garbled into thrift. Contessa, when 
your son died I went to chipotle, an aztec word for Ukrainian street 
fighting championship? Privations usually revolve around water, but 
my brother's goat ate all the cat food and ate off the roof till it broke. 
I had no clue what fucking would mean. The cats can't let anyone 
starve, even the glass-eyed servants to biological determinism. I 
salvaged the worst moustache in the world from the lake-bottom, 
and still, this observatory, it's still a woodshed. My crashed carnifex. 
We are not the body. It's not my place to bad mouth impotent joy. 
But I'll keep going there. I tend to confuse the instant message with 
the fetal alcohol syndrome of my dumb ideas. They are not in 
europe, they do not emulsify car seats. A glass of wine with lamb 
will hurt them! But this is not a time to lament. A lasting voyage 



about voyaging. It's tempting, isn't it? To liave a passionate life for 
airbags. From the porthole crawl echos of the brains I want to own 
my own narwhal.

Once, you landed. 

And it didn't even taste good. 

That was the killer. You read FOOTFALL on the way down and 
wondered how you could sneak into the defense department. But 
then you decided to get creative. 

In your blind wealthluck, you landed in the dead planetary core of 
the Scherry city. 

I can't believe you liked footfall, what are you, twelve. 

You washed muscle shirts in the rain while watching the TEN HOT 
NEW RESTAURANTS open-stop being scared-then they you 
went down to los Orleans to sell jewelry out of dolphin-backs with 
that guy, the guy with the hair who bought Ukraine, lex something, 
and you succeeded at that and swam. 

(The desk folded out. Maps set against you descent hopping.) 



There was the internship at the same time, of course. Cal<es! The 
elf gave you a walkie-tall<ie and graded your papers, judged the 
sl<irts while the iowan glowered the dishes apart. You smoked the 
IT department with fellowship, which doesn't matter, but it does 
matter, pass me that, then moved past wisteria, into the address 
book it went until your squiring at DOG FANCY. 

No worries. Orders instead. Here, the sun snows. The elf had TIPS 
on how to succeed like health insurance, to read the city, 
DELIGHTS promised, BELGIAN and otherwise, you smoked 
because you had to. 

Social engineering begat social responsibility. Regular contact was 
not encouraged. 

You remember in that vein a religious festival of great quality, a rose 
held your hand, led you through the bullions and crowds until your 
parents were found with their backs up against the river. The 
alligators were touching what hurt the most. Custody fell onto a 
moral upbringing, 

with p-references high for someone loose like the flypaper theory 
your parents left for dead in that river, it's not your fault, no one saw 



anything, and besides you were in your bedroom playing fire 
fantasy sauna while you I slept fast. 

Then unfolded the late throat inexpert. All pushes back to the true 
houses where boys stuffed jackal insects with tunas and the tunas 
with plantains, though they hired someone to do this for them, while 
you watched without comment, not that it was solicited in the low 
boot dirty dork bling of acceptance. 

And yet you take that chance. You pestle. 

In a medal-inducing fit, she gave you the goat sword. Why? 

What was is tattooed on your thigh? It doesn't matter with who 

anyway. A sealant? The shape of post-magical iowa? The corinth 

game hen? Not 

your mascot. The SOUL, she he wants to say. The soul is meow 

mix. It 

gets soft. The math unfolds lost on the stereo as you shimmer fairly. 

Yet you stall. 

This is the happiest moment of the year for suckers. The skies grow 
jealous! Old fart cincinnatus lays eiderdown upon you, his your 



fingers inside of you like a path to tlie donl<ey abyss, the dumb van 
shores of your youth, what you must have imagined there under 
your life-shit! how much am I paying for this? This oilbread?-so 
that the only recourse was to slave over the core reactor, come 
thick or thin, you know the drill, not quite able to wake up or 
become czarina without an awful lot of trouble, stung to grow, 
beaten into your old age like iron ill. You give the elf a knife. I'm 
sure it needs the money. For a teeny puma. Take it if you must. 
Everyone wants a puma to put in their backyard. 

ril pick you up, you stupid wonderful. 8? 

Oh surely this is a dream. One for inch ink. Make out like you touch 
my hair. 

I'm a mutt omen. Yes you have that going away. 

That etruscan bride you tried to fit into your gastank, those were the 
days. 

All this work. A few bit. To take a throat that is both true and 
meaningless. 



And to throttle a past that's uncomplicated, meandering.

HXIU: SATANIC STATION 

We live next to a dream 

a hall apart from each other, 
though we don't coordinate 

greetings, we don't borrow 
gastank sugar myth anyway, 

best to fall apart to. 

high on canola, winners make love 
twenty bunks down. 

Oh the anger I can't stand the noise. 

I've knotted answering fits 

in the 25th 

century, behold tons. 

We can't contain what caulks face 

diamond around 

inherently. For example, 

when nothing is really limitless — then 

which solar net is most efficient 

to capture intended particulars? (fine as paypill) 

Who is learned around to 

have someone indentured for this? 

This is a design issue. People 

sleep on ware beds. If email sketches 

helloween in every apart-pod sky then a 
prolife approach to vaporization is surely 



not necessary? Racing toward speedboats I 
seek disadvantage. 

Inside the terrace, domestic 
bods become subject dispose. But tliis is only 

flatness, mere; with contours, the dogs come into 

sight centaurs. Destiny's desire: the 

columbine rockets and 
smashes into the Columbia, 

an nubile Chernobyl that gets 

it, how we're all in this together. People 

don't realize me 
to see me. Xenotropes 
as and into 

spores as the libraries enchant 

predictive entities by not replacing the 

halogens over books. Open from 2-2:!5. 

Careless through 

corrections straining the 
eye so many. For the present clusters gloss 

and haste when immediate trained 
signals supersede the unlinked. Which 

is not to say that trees necessarily project 

into their allotted span of obsolescence, 
before the elves recrypt and the whole 

intention of a span becomes a suspect. 
For avatar. Groom. Vale gloomed with 

the flip of a world. Into plexus do I approach 
what my great great grandchildren will 

die for. As if to support liquidity headscarves 
the trade custom-fit into a service tunnel, 

which are everwhere. However my own support notates 

undoings. Then what dupe? I 
shake the platypus from the tree. Someone

I turn off tlie niglitfall and the almond 

wake empires. Hatches. It really comes down 

to butter and tricks. Pneumatic raptures sliding 
irrigate jealous smites. Always

at the spacer bar. As lunar landscapes 

go. Astronauts 

hit dune buggies 

signal it's time to go home create home. 

The commuter shout exhales.

Except escaped mosquitos on 

prime forestation in the arctic. (Research this 
corpse.) Supremacy with asthma, the

about building abbatoirs within gazebos 

have struck into the territory left

9: GROAN UOaAGE 

They riveted the princess for justice but not in my life or sense. That 
every break in the assassination of david bowie called for a renewal 
of violence. The princess came from a good family, filled with 
sweatshirts bulleted. Purple was in. They drive from recall to left. 
That each of those jackals was personal pet full of access. Hill 
grandmothers. What are they making? Float to me. It would be 
tempting to make one of those moments an act of will, forced one 
image homme mirror. Then, videos could foot the led and no one 
would be left starving for cahiers d'fuck you pluto. If this matter 
chirring out from orbit became mineable, then muscularity will enter 
this realm, and complete your sentences piped in. Broken boat is 
enrollment in a partnership. What did people do for teeth a hundred 
years ago? The pick, the coal. Where no one is watching me carve. 
Anything you want enrolled. Chipmunks are the teen schoolboard. 
Looking for the republic pulse. Starting to call their manifold lists. 
But no fearful fail. That we are even able to do things. Propulse 
inside a bell. Is that empire rung? And from that time the horses 
came. 

That's not an ego, it's a shamed horse. 



Don't speak don't look awkward while they slave over you. The 
maraud loves hearts. Overprotective tanks those that sing. Is it too 
early to call 91 1 again?

To make the spheres dance. 

Direct,

I asked before 

about dividing halves — 

what measures itself without tricking 

the scales. 

What falls from the eyes. 

Is anger from pets enough? 

It's only a nominal battle. 

Spaces are against empty,

Does this make it up? 

The sister station lost to receive.

tree object discomfort, the wedding held there between rye dog racing sheets. 
I'm trying not to mimic the elf with the ease of discomfort, the way contemplation 
can arise from influenza. The french welfare was intercepted. At some point 
nurses will learn to shoot butcher paper. But where do dumb, divine 

phages ,,,,,,,,.,.,.,..fuck it. There isn't creationism without remaining illiterate 

truthfully. And after all our models were based in personal angry sciences. This is 
the scariness that scares me. To create a more panned-out society. A more equal 
inequality born from heartfelt frustration. Not this fake abyssal plain leaking into 



the community chest. Landmines squirm against their soiled child-seats; they 

have petitioned for learner's permit.

XXXII: Clueless Station 



Call the mouth a Shetland 

tiger, a special hood 

between the head, a groom for 

whipping miles into jam. That 

head, it's braying like an ally, 

nailed like a vine-wolf in the 

treetops, though I'm not yet 

in the treetops. Will soon 

hear hoods high volume in a tuckered 

treehouse, saint keebler 

convicted of nothing as of 

yet, the nicks at night, 

the path of cigarettes, which 

should not be fettered out, only 

quietly and stomach aches. 

The trees over body sleighs, what 

they rustle, lastly, in the breeze 

of waking, fiddled with despite the 

proghorns petitioning below. Like a 

sponge the coda wakens, sylvan 

arts devour the sleep-side hills 

without a thought or epic like. 

A minimum of subjects broached 

in desperation, with jeans on the 

fire and ally, did your fire have 

anything to do with it 

the tendril asked the proghorns, 

every motive entertained, the 

forest fires lending character 

to the case slipping out the jeans 

at night. Watching from a helicopter 

by the stable risks arriving 

ceremonially with their butters 

and their allisons. At times george 

Washington wakes everyone from the tree 

tops, projecting his hands and malaise 

to the deacons and grammars, 

the leaves forming a temple over the 

teeth, which do not gleam, for it is 

not yet time to gleam, and may not ever, which 

would be a pity, since it's nearly 



springtime in tlie forest, and tlie fires, 
despite unabating, do not resemble 
a climate of protection. Tlie proghorn 
eyes are glowsticl<s of a rave of an 
almiglity dove, wliicli happens to be 
a cannibal, and wanders from banker 
to banl<er eating brains. No shadow 
worth protecting. The eyeliner is a 
traveling doctor, though not a very good 
one. The roots are taurus attainment, 
digging deep in a tendency to magma, 
a dwarven vapor realm 
where rests the minnesota, in a fashion, 
a pipeline to a previous harm heated 
for attainment, which only roots 
can cool. Folding hands akin to brunei, the 
call to multitask, george Washington 
rains down his shriven laurels on the 
proghorns and the coreys, mistaken 
for democracy and teeth, 
and neither gleam nor stable. It's worth a 
laugh, a character school and lines of 
coca antics in the asphalt treetops, which 
crowd the neighboring counties with 
telescopic ease. They are not trees though, 
their smell is pine in springtime, a perfume. 
Actions rest in blackened air as latent 
trolls, they hope for faint connections in 
the glowsticks unrelenting, a coiled 
stomach ache devouring sleep, which I 
don't take lightly. It's hard to see 
the tree as everywhere and patriotic 
elfin, and when kept a little stable 
in the ghoulish corduroys, there is 
no chance of safety amongst the tranquil 
beehives, the gold plate gold of heaven 
as the night returned to Washington 
as teeth and special glasses, and 
nothing's really open, the mother's 
haze inviting like a bee in lonesome 
springtime. Is there sufficient reason 
to lack unrequited hope in branches? 
Their smoothness and their ratings. 
Exhilarating presidents abound as 
radiation from the treetops, protecting 
neighboring counties with a hood. Prophetic 



as a stolen goat, protecting meats 

and cheeses for a family in the 

magma, where the berries from the 

lava bush are tempests, an idea 

without a vessel like a progress. 

Though written in the oxygen and 

action, the cannibals take forests 

lightly, wearing glasses inside flashlights 

searching forest grounds for berries, 

and I'm too involved to see the single 

trees clearly, though extending into 

nightshade wearing socks without cobbler, 

a weakling as a season which 

always likes returning. And does the matter 

lack a mandate to constitute a trunk? 

I cannot land with Washington and 

raven in the copter, the blue 

jeans form a message in the branch 

of unrelenting, a pain that can be heard 

by lightly stepping proghorns, unsure 

how, in the forest, the cabbages 

trap essences like deacons and releases 

them without consent into the fires. 

There is knowledge here in every tree 

and Washington is popular with 

only acorns listening. A military latency 

retracts into the spiral of the sleighs, 

which call to springtime breezes in 

their hooded sleeping bags: awake as 

lambs and servers. And I hope to 

crash the copter in a winding spell 

of teeth, which chop the pine 

of discipline and chop the trolls 

like tendencies. The proghorns sleigh 

to prairie acorns unrelenting, the vapor 

realm of dwarves. Above the sky, the 

spectre of a cod gracelessly 

appears as commonplace.
