Three Poems

 

SAFETY IS EVERYONE’S CONCERN

Exercising my right to wait in line,

Idiopathic anger descends upon me.

The nominal present is a cusp, a springboard,

A platform as capricious as Salisbury steak.

A grounder to short sparks unrest and outrage.

A meme-like ladder rope dropped from the moon.

Crotch rockets roasted fancy.

Fancy Danika slamming dope.

Good churn bad churn.

Safety is everyone’s concern.

LONZO’S

Gay as hell.

Gay as fuck.

Top tier gay shit.

I’m pretty sure it’s Lonzo’s.

THAT PITCH IS A STRIKE ALL DAY LONG

Your personal note, handwritten, arrived today,

A lovely expression recorded on fine, scented stationery,

Matching envelope sealed with wax and your monogram.

And delivered by special courier.

It means nothing to me.

Your like on my Instagram, however

Means the world.

Say bud

Hey I’m

Yeah yeah yeah no

And it

You know

It’s everybody

There was a guy

Right across the driveway there

Yeah and then

The one woman by the

Imagine

Oh how funny

So she and

See so I’ve been

But here’s the thing

What We Gonna Do

 

We gonna dedicate this to

Brand ambassadors and gender reifiers,

Godheads and goatheads,

Pharmacists and field workers,

Expeditionary forces and support wings,

Guilds, clans, cohorts,

Territory managers and iconoclastic hackers,

Contractors and code switchers,

Disney princesses and trust fund seniors,

Eidolons and limnologists.

We gonna listen to multilateralizers like the

The Crypto Economy Undersecretary and

A trope teasing meme grabbing ASL interpreter and

A master chocolatier pierced by his own pièce de résistance,

The chief content officer

For things of a must-see nature,

Bagwell The Exceptionist

To discuss the mating habits of slugs.

And then we gonna do so much tax deductible good

People be calling us filthy stinking rich.

Spanish 23:59/7

The house on Daybust Drive.

The orchard is chaos,

Ladders and boom boxes,

Stackable washers and dryers,

Monarch butterflies,

Red hot dragonflies,

Raspberries, blueberries, strawberries,

Brown and maroon caterpillars,

Tiny trams on unmapped routes,

Chirping squirrels,

Red tail hawks lacing the sky.

 

A Mexican family lives next door.

Daughter in college, home for the summer.

Que pinche cute.

Rocking smile, smart glasses and pretty legs.

Trending good to go.

Hacked my hot spot.

My heart vents.

Here I am!

When you need one

Where’s a celebrity

To convince you to love me?

Today's Head Light

 Power to Victory — Write Up The Road Media

Something for Everyone

 

drawing by Beatrice Wood

GRISAILLE

Authorities interrogating a text.

Just breathe.

Where they want you to come in.

And how about you sit there.

So they can triage you.

I was wondering.

Every time he’d ask

Howz yer multimodality going?

We’d all fucking die laughing.

Do your practices run parallel, or do you work across disciplines?

Then a legit big time punch right to the grille.

THE NATURAL ORDER OF THINGS

Said they would send me an email.

And I kept not getting it.

And I kept not getting it.

And I kept not getting it.

They didn’t return my calls.

I told my daughter hey.

You know?

All stops are brief.

A NOMNAL PRESENT

To prevent further deadly misunderstandings

As well as black mold on our radio buttons:

Hate comments (disagreements) will be deleted.

Misinformation (other points of view) will be blocked.

Threats (“You’re wrong”) will be reported to the authorities.

Tones shall be pitched to a six-year-old’s Christmas.

No, but OK

 

Priest serves Mass in full hazmat.

I think she thinks

Streaming will make you whole.

Own now.

Watch instantly.

Everybody’s like huh?

I’m all wow.

They need to like hire

Someone from outside,

A Mexican nai nai,

Projecting passion, strength and power,

Chonklas at every command post,

And geared towards consistently breaking barriers

When it comes to equality, social justice, and mental health.

I mean me personally

I’ve tasted heaven, $119.50 per dose.

I’ve been stuck at spicy level #3

For the past five and a half weeks.

Everything is yeah maybe,

But it’s possible it’s the opposite, too.

I mean what is today?

A humid afternoon in the summer

Gray's smoothie ensemble

Some music:

Pete Jolly was a stylist presence in the L.A. jazz scene from that 1950’s early 1960’s hot spot. This new YouTube post is a fantastic document.

I Give It To You — Write Up The Road Media

 

 

Ripped from Yesterday's Head Light

A little something from another site: 

Viral Thread

The More You Get from the Internet, the More You Get from Life

I hit the blogosphere hard this morning

Like a Serena Williams backhand,

Like homeport when an aircraft carrier returns,

To, as they say, drive home a point,

Like you drive home a nail.

Cocktail conversation used to be real estate and traffic,

Container shipping and logistics.

Then, it was real estate and the pet trainer on cable.

Now, it’s real estate and must-see TV and vaccines.

Spoiler alerts, trigger warnings.

To keep reading, you must register.

Proof of vaccination is required to register.

You must be up-to-date on all boosters

And have been tested within the past two days.

Masks must be worn at all times.

Special First Friday Choice Bits!

 

Dis your buuusssday! I have trost you will enjoy!

from Entries: L.A. Log, by Eloise Klein Healy

#5

coiling out to Malibu

on a copper strand

my sunglasses shine

like two westbound storefronts

open to the scenery business.

#7

I note the traffic patterns

of two Western Gulls

flying the Santa Monica Freeway,

sooty boomerangs

arching across their backs

as they exit up.

from Dividing the Fields by Eloise Klein Healy

Plants would get most answers right

if left to themselves.

And that moon tonight,

you watch it.

That moon and those trees

have worked together dividing things

since they were girls.

from The Committed, by Viet Thanh Nguyen

“We all become accustomed to the aroma of our own contradictions.”

from Wind in a Box, by Terrance Hayes

“Nights of inviolate wine and laughter, mornings with a finch opera outside our windows.”

from an interview with Meridel Le Sueur

Question: You don't write much about love—romance. Is that because that's bourgeois?

Meridel Le Sueur: Yes, it's bourgeois. I was trying to get away from bourgeois ideologies of sex, of romance and the family…

some beauty shop talk from Song of Solomon, by Toni Morrison

“Must not be working out if she’s trying to kill him.”

“Be just like her. No appointment. No nothing. Come in here all late and wrong and want something fancy.”
