P’s photo face
reads agent-like
& J’s legs undercrossed
toward P & hunched deep
F between J & P
—artist portraits--
suffering that salesjoint arthritis
joys of S died alone
expand ego ergo everyone
misunderstood his drivel

fotorighting
ungrateful biped.
You’d think sky joined sea both
asphalt & rain both swayed waves snails hung from banisters
miniscule sliming particles bulky against broad scratches of paint flakes
day of light none know
several ventured to cavemouth
including initial aforementioned
a sleeper in sleep sleeping forever
creek rush down below called wooshy wooshy
wet ferns grass raindrop dappled spruce trees lined path
biped suffered self when it lost T w/ regards to this only cave offered
remorse where one might lurk
ungrateful biped brought others for company (what’s better than company?) because it found satisfaction
in exhibiting self-exposure rightly brought these several for promised later repose. In front: there. Zags of flowers as in Marcus Garvey. Laces in knots. Well whatever said spilled out wrong anyway.
Follow this one here.
“Say?”
Up went they into cavemouth after all. O T!

awake!
to know ones
one once
knew one
no longer knows
cares to know
that should hurt but here one
finds one-
self typing hoping to find a poem & remind one that this one
now is fifty-sick years of failure and can arrive to find still nothing
call again
fail better alas
one
little company to distill the void that voices
one
could pass the time to think of that hill and the ice that slid one
down one
had to hold the fence one
had to pull one-
self up with that fence after all and one
found music and pasta with sea creatures inside to fill one
