the clouds are never puffy here haze on a complete layer of flat gray
clouds lays over 7th beat the sidewalk with an old broken umbrella
black and torn they say "terror" when walking the stopped escalator it's
strife when the huge fountain is stopped it's lies when the doors are
closed and locked it's vengeance when the spotlight and booming voice
(speaker) awakes you at 5am: throw a rock and it misses no one notices
"get up and go to the Mission." intemperance when pulled into county
jail and let go at 3am to walk seven blocks altercation with the
staffing sergeant about the lost blanket the bag of cans the fear that
invites exhilaration the hardening and tension the fingers temples
battle screaming alternating "they are assholes, you are a mother
fucking scum shit face," please forget the murder the son against the

walking in from Commerce, after riding the train in from Fontana. Cold
June early morning. Kerouac is dead, Ginsburg, Neal/Dean, oh fuck even
Burroughs... but not Ashbery, Ferlinghetti, Strand – forgot Bowles dead –
the map of the unloving/unborn unfolds. a critic asks, "do you care
about the time line?" well (long drawl) does it all happen in sequence?
Or in parallel sequential waves?

Pico and Olympic

The corners are curved here with access to the street for handicapped persons.
Step the wrong way and you will have a sprained ankle and then be handicapped.

Remember to aim for the middle of the ramp and bounce up as you
hit the lip of the slightly raised curb; you will glide over
and onto the sidewalk with ease. Beware of your speed at this
point, you may be going to fast and might endanger others and
yourself.
 
Drop it into first gear quickly and brake. Look around before:


Your sides			Split with laughter
No walking here			While watching the news
Your sides			Ache from laughter
No walking here			Split with laughter
Watching the walking trip	Stay away from doors
Watch the walking fall		Stay away from windows
Watch the walking crawl		Stay away from stairs

The contrast from ten = explaining – (talking x silence)
Forget the equation(s): pull forward and park
Drop the anchor
Call out for Rum

‘The tears of love
Flow down my face
Creases of skin spread
The water’s flow 
To the corners of my mouth
Where it spits away from my head
Slapping you in the face, The Red Rose
Of Love, the thorns slicing your
Arms as you (they) draw away in pain’

The brightness from nine = silence + (explaining / talking)
Click on the calculator: reach for the sparkling water
Reach for the lemon wedge
Step on the accelerator
Spin around 
Tightly

Struggling around		Dropping bread
Unsteady and crying		From a bag
Watching the pigeons		To the ground
Pecking pecking pecking		Pecking pecking pecking
Watch the pigeons peck		Knock on the windows
Watching the pigeons eat	Knock on the doors
Watching the pigeons land	On the stairs

They say				"This

A DWP					truck
Rolls up to the				corner
Rolls to a stop:			while

"So you					see"
That is					Grand
No one is allowed			to
Pee 					pee

Exposed these				words
A					deception
Water gushing				upward
No					one
Saying it's				gushing
The play "the word"			sincerity

Dropping dried				snot
Wisdom					past
Erinnyes speaking			through

Bodies					locked

Tortillas beans rice coffee		cream
Dreams that followed me			talking
Incessantly evaporation			that

Screaming					again
Backed into					a
Doorway blackness dark night			and
Screaming louder				again
No sleeping a version				truth
Some						praise
Grand version					of
Truth one that is				never
Reached						just
Space (inner)					a
Story about the lack				of
Available light					drawn
Lost irrelevant					suffering
Acquired					through…
Time is defined in				decades
Third to fourth the				deeds
Change from					words
To						actions
Divided between					known
Anger driving through the			street
Red						black
Thoughts reeling over over			in
Deflecting verbal				continuity
Screaming					against
The darkness					stillness
A						car
Hits a fire hydrant				water
Gushing						fifty
Feet high					next
To a street lamp				water
Creating					a
Shadow on the sidewalk				and
Street the					car
Is gone						no
One						arrives
It’s time for a					shower
Clothes off quickly washing			washing
Stop screaming					stop
Itching						so

"Fuck					me"
The words				rise
And fall into a				hole
Single view double view			one
Eye					blind
The perspective				trips
Over the...				walking
Back then again forth			to
The					sam'
Corner					fly’s
Following my				arms
Babbling, "Fuck me, fuck		you."
Point to front right			tires
Those cars				stopped
The					light
Changes and				the
Thought is gone with			the
Vehicle					the
Vehicle 				the
Cup					it
In your					hand
"Selected information"			facts
Say them				if
Promote them if you			if
“You promised you did”			if
Canaan meets my eyes			if
Capacity reaches			if
"Fuck					me"
will note that this			isn't
Pornography but the imagination		in...
Eager minds to learn			if
Subject					noun
"Oh love				poems"
I					love
Them they				make...
Cross the street yes			again
Cross the street around			yes
Reaching into				a
Pocket for some change			a
Quarter maybe				a
Dime					who
Who has					dimes?
"Fuck					me"

Fatty					matter
Pearly smoky				growing
Light passing contact that		sits
Feeling the				weight
The					over
Belt hanging sun that's			setting
Peeing again this time			on
The grass				against
The					tall
Plants					vary
Then					sit
Stomach at				attention
Tie a					loop
Of rope					is
This gaining access?			Keeping
Possessions secret from you?		that
Esophagus around the basket		handle
Fearfully				forced
Into a					parting
Neck					line
Ceased and 				stopped
Begun					pushed
Across by				thumbs
Is					it
Disdain? The pages flip			over
Stop at					sketching
Yellow					grass
Within the last time			week
That isn’t concise to			turning
The doorknob and entering		thrown
Confused you				that
Larynx sounding				rough
Take this				the
Distress				the
Substance				the
Regret					but
No guilt				you
Say "humiliation			is
How commitment				is
Gauged in				equity."
Oyster shining				shrinking
You					can
Smell the rotten acuteness		in
Vertical alpine meadows reach		up
Openly take out the			blanket
