Hello again, faithful readers. I'm here to give you some more untitled poems. Meet me in the Opera House with Olivia Tremor if your willing. Control me, if you can (music reference; track it down, Green Typewriters).
p.s. the first poem is the latest untitled I've written
untitled 4030
if I lay down in the road to
count
feathers from birds
from
the midnight song
I should
be so lucky, says
C
to his father
as
they ride down a country lane
in
the mid-heat of fading
September
I should think you’re smarter than that,
my
boy,
son o mine,
left lingering among the skiff plough
mud
drying upon the face
of the river
untitled 3601
school is for the officers who drive
through red lights
with the sirens on
for no
apparent reason.
and, yeah
, yeah, oh
yeah,
school is for aging rock and rollers
who just can’t
get laid anymore.
maybe, and
maybe,
school is for porno losers
with old age
and extended members.
it isn’t for me,
but I sit
in halls
and under
neon bulbs
and listen to
others preach about others
anyway
.
I am a shark caught
in the wilds of the
deep blue ocean
and strung along a pier for
all onlookers to gawk at;
or at least,
I am a free wheeling businessman
serving
time in a white
collar
jail cell.
untitled 2504
born on a Sunday
.
she was a friend of mine.
wrapped up in the
comics pages.
funnies and funnies.
I remember the times of
the ice crystals,
jaunting down her hair
in
cycles, spirals,
circles
.
she had frozen,
or nearly so,
and
came to my fire place just to
survive.
I
wrapped her in a humorous
blanket and
sat
in my old oak chair.
we
sipped the strange mint
leaf tea
and guessed.
how old am I
how old are you
?
she was a nude
baptist,
cleansing herself
constantly.
to be loved,
longed
for,
to fire up the car
engine in
dead winter
and
not wait for the windshield
to defrost.
that’s all Sarah ever
wanted.
little teeth,
the capacity to tear little
holes in everything
,
was her gift.
candy candy,
eyes are made for
you
and fancy.
discover lover,
I’m
always consumed by
another
.

I like this new Untitled. The short simple lines and concrete images are beautiful.
