CARNIVALE
I hate my hurt
I hate my lies
I crave light wait
I crave lightness
I crave release
from the heft
of dreams, from the cruel
realities of
desire

THE CLOUD ULYSSES
His name
was Hiram.
He won
a war.
He is buried
in Grant’s Tomb.
He lives
in Grant Park.

ODE TO A HOOVER BAGLESS CYCLONIC ACTION QUIK-BROOM WITH ON-BOARD TOOLS
I and I: machine.
Quiet machine, soft machine,
I machine.
Quiet machine:
a mongrel corpus
of wills.

A MURDER OF TULIPS
I lug my spavined heart
to work
along the Magnificent Mile.
A murder of tulips
belies my grief.
They are nothing!

RAIN
I can show you
that when it rains and shines
it’s just a state of
mind. But life is
mind and
mind

DREAM DIARY
I was an extra
in the new Batman movie
along with Amy Sedaris,
and we were filming a scene
in the rain near Wayne Manor
(a Mock Tudor mansion in West
Humboldt Park, south of Fullerton)
featuring Benicio del Toro.

BLACK SPRING
I forgot I love you.
There was a star
Above your manger
And I followed it to the Empty Bottle.
Mammals re-emerged from the air-raid shelters
Toward the buzz drone ragas

INTIMATIONS
Rescue cannot be summoned,
Captivity must be endured.
The bastard wind our gaoler
Retains jurisdiction, random
Beatings loom, black ice
Lurks.

PIGEON
I scanned a bronze and teal pigeon at loiter on the black snow.
I blanched at reports from a pistol in the alley.
I remain enhanced, wait, enchanted
By the night skyline
Pixelated
