Notes for Paul

Two favourites:

within range, montenant

si))(((lens...


And favourite lines:

Re:Setting

i've plumbed my place with them before
as the die is cast
sixsidedly
in lines of long-
and latitude
to fall in with
risk-taking throws
at poetic justice
and global domination

-----
titular indeterminayacy

the mayans had calendars
by my-oh-my if "maya"
isn't just a foundation
for illusion to build pyramids to
(even the stars are blood-spattered)


but
back to my maya
my mayday
the beast with two backlashes:
even my maieutics
are having a midwife crisis

& menno? please!
blistered are the pleasemakers'
lips
no more pleading

wow
i said waking up with
a severe case of enlightenment.

-----
& i've only ever seen a possum once

but i'm completely inept
at giving up completely
because i LOVE
playing in traffic your eyes
deeper than halogen
and your grille
an open invitation
to attempting hot passionate
fusion with your radiator

don't get me started on your bumper
(i look too good
in chrome agony)

there i go
objectifying you again
by just lying there on the road
to keep the asphalt from telling its side

can i be your hood ornament?

-----
schade is too bad in german

my son & i
(this one, not that one)
watch his finals


the personal is political
i tell myself
& yeah
i do vote for me

how's that for happy endings
or edges,
not losing my nerve
just because my skin is raw
& the ball is up in the air

-----
seen from this side of the glass, poker tastes like gin

inverte-berating me


then again we were playing big blind little blind
which goes a long way towards
describing my ability to read people
never mind books
which i do so slowly
i read them in reverse

-----
just lying, there

life is a tupperware casket of donuts
looks like truth
tastes like chickenshit


& its brain,
only big enough to believe in
two-sided theories
massacred all the others
lest it lose its deathgrip
to something more
personal

like love,
or lovelike

-----
<{[(:+:)]}>

[Still like this title!]

You're welcome. Interested by the e-vacuating! Sounds like a great name for a chapbook! I don't think much about vacuums I must admit - it's ok that some stuff is just for me (audience of 1), and I'll get the rest out there somehow...
