A Sketch: As Luck Would Have It
An Aztec joint called El Sol Mexicano or something like that.
She came darting around the corner like a hummingbird.
Suspended in iridescence she scanned the patio
“Cedar of Lebanon burned with sage in an abalone shell”
“A tune in Jeruvian mode” on the sound system.
I wasn’t who she was looking for,
And I was the only one there
So she shot back the same way she came.
Well what’s funny is
The hummingbird returns,
Same dart around the corner,
It’s still just me.
Are you?/Yes./Absolutely.
There’s this like
Potentially sort of
Half baked, pseudo profundo
World shifting---
Before we started kissing
We discussed diatomaceous earth mining in California.
The World Archaeological Congress in Vermillion, South
Dakota.
Chinese Mexican nachos.
There is a science to all of it.
And an immoderate amount of diving and drilling.
The resultant action is what gets dreamy.

The Final Mix
THIS IS NOT A TOY
I workshopped it in grad school.
SILENCE IS VIOLENCE
To the face of serenity a raucous boot.
COMPLACENCY
The great white father of all failure.
HE BORED ME THE OTHER NIGHT
All he did was talk about Trump.
Yeah Trump.
You know, the President?
CONTESTED SPACE
Art museum loading dock.
SEEKING VICTIMHOOD?
Let us help.
TRUTH
Now available in genuine Italian leather.
LOOK WHO’S TALKING
Your grandmother tells me
You don’t do a damn thing
All day long.
THE FINAL MIX
Across the miles, aisles,
Vacant lots, vacation spots,
Valleys, alleys,
Manifest destiny,
Las Vegas residency.
TOO LATE FOR MIRACLES
I set myself out curbside for bulky item pickup.
Crickets chanting: plan b plan b plan b.
Lizards loyal to three little pigs wolfed them down.
WHERE I’M SORT OF AT
Bats cracking beetle backs
Sucking out the need to bash
Head first into the side of the
Black Sabbath reeducation camp.
HERE’S THE THING WITH THAT
As long as my head’s in da game
Ima keep playing.
Bring your lawn chairs.
WHAT HAPPENED WAS
Content creators, artists, influencers
Fired, canceled, or de-platformed,
Derailment on the fast track,
Killing all hopes on board.
RECOMMENDED FOR YOU
A killer hook.
The dopest flow.
AFTER INTIMACY
Now what?
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Room service.
SURPLUS
Cawing crows, crowing cocks,
Desert floors and mountain tops,
Mixed race bots, Tater tots,
Non-binary mermaids,
Papier-mâché pricks,
Cherries, peaches, apricots.

As Tensions Simmer
You still with that outfit in Spain?
And how are we identifying today?
Do you have your mask?
Can I get a witness up in here?
You need a tissue?
Are you having a moment?
Is she grabbing your guyses drinks?
How do you like your eggs?
Isn’t there a Nigerian banker who needs my account number?
Are we actually a nebula?
Who knew coins had a gender?
Parliament said what?
I know, right?
Sound like something you might like?
See the problem is is
The atom splits the difference
Between objects of production and modes of desire,
Parts and service,
Half waffle, whole waffle,
It happens more often than you think,
Net, clock, and pace,
From skill saw to standup bass,
From prayer to payroll,
You needa manage it all from one place.
Play it cool.
Its going to swing back the other way.
But it ain’t going to happen for you if you try too hard.
