each state's name
spoken
  in a statistically
coherent regional dialect
of the state.
what is not wisdom,
  is not wise.
so, think; i think, too.
crickets as noise.
thought a thimble. 
 
every route is circuitous.
so says the slatting sun.
 
the epic is capsized
and salvaged--
 
tonight,
no moon.
 
like profound innocence,
office, sir
 
of nabisco, new
jerusalem
 
new jersey
where death will not have hold.
 
give me slate.
behold.
 
this is for you.
end of july.
 
2009
what is time?
 
time is life.
which is fine.
 
fine as the finest
moth
 
at the wreath
at the backporch
  
light.
fine as sin.
 
fine as sentience
flickered in.
 
bring me the eyes of gojira.
that's my price.
 
stoned
after a blowjob immaculate.
 
a titan
of sirens
 
this rain
an ocean's minuet.
 
under a tree for an hour--
not a drop.
