Capitalism quieted,
Category Archives: Poetry
rage has had its time, see it walk softly off?
a gentle
and faded
obscurity.
beyond our sight, we wonder if we are still there
the breath
is a swinging door.
it was polished when i received it, reflective, i wait for it to tarnish
before this
current iteration of
Human,
others lived.
some person on a motorcycle decides to run from the police
in the foreground,
many people
do many things.
track 1 side 1
it isn’t a city
anymore.
sage in the small woodstove
the metal buildings
of the fish processing plants
are a pleasing shade
of blue.
a circle turns to spiral
in spite i sit inside
on a sunny day.
the house of the ever-setting sun
the spent oil tanks
eventually fill.
transistors and satellites
the window
is blown out.
no damnation, no deliverance
are you a
reductionist?
if you’re a thrown rock then might as well be a thrown rock
a way to
attempt
to be
happy
pulling our wait
you can stick
to your guns,
i’ll stick to my
feet.
pesto grilled cheese on sourdough and bulgur with cilantro and parsley
the land isn’t
bothered.
chicago at sunset, as seen from indiana
folded and tucked
into a drawer
tricks and magic
when the wind blows
the photos blur.
self liberate even the antidote
it isn’t
disassociating.
an economist at play
without
the carrot
of killing,
there are really only a handful of people
i haven’t much,
still,
i’ve an excess.
health forces sale
he walks ahead of me
on the wooden dock
and i wonder,
somewhat sheepishly,
why he is still
alive.
set the timer for 30 minutes so that the music shuts off even if you’ve fallen asleep
this i am
clear about.
maybe portugal or maybe paris or maybe northwest chicago; emptiness and fullness are the same thing
it’s a quiet street.
i don’t think it’s “important” but i do think it matters
i don’t drink beer
anymore
i thought at first it was a human child but then realized it was just just a bundle of trash and food
open your eyes
and there’s a
rock.
a grassland dreams of trees
the air is very clear.
