COSMRAOLOGY

 

 

rain from the bush splashes

on my

shirt

 

detritus from the trees grease

the wet worn slabbed sidewalk

 

when I got to the giant eagle

there

was a bomb threat

 

you my dear troublemaker are the means

by which a confused person like me will attain enlightenment

 

no raisin bread

 

what we are doing here is so important we had better

not take it so seriously

 

my mothers birth pangs and womb discomforts

these are my accomplishments

 

in february

persistence of memory

fields of auvers under a dark sky

 

the dawn that comes when you expect

shadow

 

all that was good was lost

but

underfoot

 

aren’t we ridiculous

 

the original version of matthew

ends

with the women running from the tomb

and

telling no one

 

may those whose hell it is to fight

and wound be

turned to buddhas

in lieu of a berceuse

an

explanation will do

 

the goofball has found a friend

 

his phone book

becoming a book of the dead
