Idaho man pickets Manassas Mall Sears store (10/30/2024)
standing outside Manassas Mall every day
over faulty radiators in his
conglomerates don’t care about you
radiator malfunctioned
call ornery but not gimption
sights around the country and enjoy
leaking again
hadn’t seen in five years
wouldn't honor
17 days for a promised phone call from
honk, wave, stop and take
run out of patience
for three or four days and
This is America, the stopped in replaced
along with a one-year warranty.
Fell Down Plance (10/20/2024)
clamp can; clampt mance
shant hand; shards of bands
sand lance; stabbed oilance
slanted yance; yandle pants

Bill Weber Can't (10/20/2024)
He couldn't be the Yalta conference
He yoinked the clothespins off my neck
He rearranged'nt the vacuum insiders
He wasn't a yak sipping tea from a glove
He gladly cramped his legs
He told the test tube to fuck off
He skipped work to drown himself
He blanced cornily formance hordes
Time tacked on his t-shirt underneath dead skin
A foil ball scattered his ashes on a balloon
Couldn't he stop the bastard billiard ball?
Don't Want (10/19/2024)
don't heat, don't gel
don't stick, don't sizzle
don't cramp, don't glue
won't supposed, won't mammal
don't placate, don't stop sign
don't tabulate, don't typewritten
don't scrambled, don't hangar
won't stampble, won't dramble
don't frygetfret, don't hather
don't helgme, don't pontificate
don't specifications, don't shorted
won't attendance, won't suspensions
Stroadtelligence (10/19/2024)
squinting down the shimmering
a balloon past post office popping
geese eating my remnant, goose'lest
morphing like a quail's tail
beach seen across drank down the salt
sipping on squats, plimping blimps
& scotch tape scorched to vouch gosh
scraped off the rotten big top carnagevalesque
ham clack squawk -- selt a sir squirting injures
gestalt mind my mine clay halts
faults lined up down the lavender linalool
spinning or soaking in wool a sweatband
cruel, or drooling over tooled up mules
musk swearing off the set mist swiping off
onward facing bits, betting all the celery on
a salary's worth of falls, delta with a dalt
dangerous maybe if it was smart
Civilian Cigars (10/18/2024)
blank I'm blasted, BLA'St
I'm ?blank? --- backwards
canker ----- danger chalkboard
breath of dust blasted out the
back of a granite slate shale truck
trusted --- ??blank??stones??
clusters bombed & drone zones
drank the oil --- blank thought
spoiled untoward track guzzle -
blasted open the throat and eviscer-
ated the meat & bones - homing in
on the video dome --- violence
wheel - levered -arage -acres
of burns & bodies blasted ----
power crank,,, 1 million bucks -
shoved up nowhere burned on goddy
glank --- smoked ing jet fuels my
cigar dipped in the cesspool
Chewed My Blurred (10/17/2024)
caught in a capture, crested over
maps and taciturns, turning over
a trunk full of leaves, trusted
by beef, tricked by orange squeeze
juice, running like serrano peppers
their heat sequestered in a TV western.
caught in a fiddle, riddled me a skittle
candied can't candied dance, drunk &
drowned in the sound hand, light yonder
squinting at the tubers, burnt like a seize
seen sea scented bloody mucks lost
around over a muse, masked a brush bruise
caught in an over, cycling frowns
recycling the words on over downs,
lusting acrostics acoustic mucous,
much like a firecracker fuse would fissure
fixed and scolded over a river, raving
stark nude, caught in the words and chewed
Broken Down (10/17/2024)

calm like a vulture strewn
calm like clams in a stew
Grave Toes (10/15/2024)
mottel glottal model hovelled
shoveled their explanations
piling up the dirty grave emulsions
molted feathers filling in the grief
grunting grouching gravy on their
beliefs believing desperate squeezing
squirting out the glue gun hot
N' ready graveyard whistle
wandering past paddles porches
canoe can't can'toe their toes sticking
out the dirt and waving to passing birds
Wick (10/15/2024)

Cream Doubt (10/2/2024)
full of skirts, dirt rubbed in a ruby mirth
mert helt gelsem havesm tel mel telt melt
brang a bangle bring a brisket tingle
loudLY escape D the bear TRap without HANDS
fingers eaten by warm worm wHams
wondering a scanner sound found gland
illogical brands, illogical prans ~ brains sloshing
in a washing machine ~ flush the floss gus goss~

Shivering Spines (10/2/2024)
shivered frown the down line pine sine wave
washed ashore walked back DOor combed over
my whore hair discovered a blank chore
shivering like my open wounds shot down
with a fish stick shaped bassoon fumes pluming
fumes exuding fumes exulting,,,,, tragically was it!~?
explosion and carbon monoxide deoxygenation
dissection of frog & toad the book strewn with entrails
and mold
shut down the scales ---- tru cks scaling to Sizes of snails
salted with a side of lime rails lails lulls on a train track
mailed out dozens of stacks of hard tack
the children hearing all the swear words in a minivan
blatantly forgotten click clack click clack
blancing a dangled dlancing dancer necro neuro farmer
fencer fancer dancing in a lodged push pin
pressure forming pus all around a baking spins
clouded frown-ED all around yonder moose mouse heads
sent shivers down his spine
sent shivers down his spine
The Morning After... (10/1/2024)
plangit forgot nine none of 'em
nuked a bomb hangar half dand
bands scerfing a sound of sofa loud shounds
gowns torn into blown off hands
hounds howling for a clown frown
bow for the speakers, bow the the leakers
the bottle is cracked & broken
jam and jelly and jars all over my toesies
glass so far in the skin it's an organ
glass so far in the eye it's my thoughts
glass so far in the ear I remember the echoes
glass so far in the thought it's a memory
pieces heard in the early morning, my strings stabbed
my strings laced and needled moss vase
you were dancing like it couldn't be contained
but in the jar you were stirred and separated nice & shamed
planned as a plain vandalism practiced sprayed paint
on the boards and got into the command base
sirens eaten after fishing for their remains
the shores poisoned by an ocean tanker liner
skipping down the bowling lanes, swirling your paint
into mine, we drank the mixed up tainted ways
waking up the next day was a waste
