both apparent and clandestine
private and public business interests

what it means
by they kill things here
to say things here
that they’re killed
and they’re killed here
these things are
killed here
by them
by those that kill
that they do the killing
and it’s done here

complete schematics

a fulfilling poetic
that captures then
produces an output
of energy
outbursts of clarity
an ability to assimilate
fog and not
straining to see through

the front of it
sketched by memory
is concise enough
to go
by unnoticed

concise without

on this day
the page resembles
anywhere the eyes
are sewn shut
more fingers than
blinking at the moon’s
radio is a location
first then lulls you
into conversation how
the city is unaware of you
and remains so
___________________
an opening
disruption a contradiction
of local flowers make
for local honey
these charts attest
to its corruption
I will endure you
and I will
take from you
your source of it
and yes the offer stands
in equilibrium

defend it
the sentence
set the phone
on vibrate
the hand drawn document
the written one
fingers full of ink
planning a diagram
that conveys
unfolding
a folding chair
___________________
she says, it’s ridiculous
and condescending
a small pocket-sized novel
built
at the
drafting table
a bus schedule torn in two
___________________
with art
burns brains
diassembled volumes
of theory the
incoherents the insufferables
the insufficients
change in
your pocket
a trail of crumpled
paper leads to
invisible thought
___________________
if I had rafters I’d
hang from them the
lighting system is
natural provides
shade to retreat
wanting more than
can be carried
is another despised
position
___________________
a catastrophe
grasps at cloudless
blues no employment
will quell her language
will resent this new
construction peering
in
the photo album of
him, the tree

it is a time to
