Bob Pulling Green Chain


Beloved tap dancing fucking truce
camel hump death shading electric extending
misery inside half burnt meadows dust bellows
on the riverbank tits buttons heavy priding across
centuries falsely calling abstractions
jarring spinal fibers in morgue tunnels
with thinking trees


Poem For Several Ways To South


The chelate toadstools

The crystal fur box

The dead monkey's scream

The pink mink fenders

All the girls dripping hot down their legs

Fireside chats with a deaf mute

American flags used as ass wipers

History lessons taught by a drunk Genghis Khan

Wilmington, Delaware dildo salesmen

Not so much sugar in my cocaine, please

Falling rocks grab your cocks

Over the edge of benevolent lies

Proper improper mixed unmixed

Nothing said nothing undone

The faraway look of a total stranger.

will expand (revels) (cleared) by;

bright eyes collapse arrive in wake
courses sliding with handle bars, as,
ranchers ride the energy wind /aim/
undo/cut/ inside reduction pawing-


San Francisco Chronicle


Something coming up flying open faced barely
thundering wind settles on crossing beauty
weeping. Though, one should know the street

gut. Eye glass was there kneeling, what with
them's, there's, and all those those's,
pushing me a copy of the San Francisco Chronicle
thru the great box in the sky
