You have to worship the fact of life and not its
Corny by-products.
Art is for romantics.
Art is for stupid people.
It’s believable.
When you sin it is believable.
You have the evil fingers.
You have creation light, too.
You’ve been so sorry.
Why have you been sorry?
Think about what life has done to you.
When you think the good are to be rewarded
You reveal your essential stupidity.
I am asking you to take that cover
Down.
I hate a white sky, bare trees, Ontario-ness, winter.
I keep saying I submit and do not.
I have to attend to my pussy.
I have to attend to my heart.
It’s true I hardly know what’s going on
And can’t let that full fact go.
I’ve let my thoughts virgo as
Detective work
Though I have to have problems I suppose
To tenderize
My sweetness.
Or else I would have a
Very, very hard sweetness.
Considering
As a way of being.
I have done that.
A decided
Closeness
With the
Materials
Of a circumstance.
I like have been close to
What’s arrived and
Arriving: I saw
Everything.
And I listened to
Some, many.
I listened to a great deal
And with a placid intelligence
Supported
The odours entering me.
I smelled; thus
I knew.
I could smell
In this Friday blue hour –
An approach to
Night as it
Isn’t night:
I can’t see the sky
From where I’m sitting
But I see
The colour of the air
Around the cactus
And the colour of the air
Around the
Red soil
And I know what the sky is thinking:
I see it turn itself
To closing, so I –
Good night –
Can leave this room
Where the vibration of a resting cellphone
Is a fart
In the, now,
Night –
I have to live. There’s stuff inside of things.
There’s a fridge in the staff kitchen.
And there’s stuff inside that fridge
That isn’t for me to eat but I want
To eat it.
A sound.
Is there
Someone behind me?
No ok I want to eat what I left at home then.
I am glad that I left it
So that
I can eat it –
The centre of a blackberry
It’s like eating butterfly body, basically.
What is bread?
Is bread women?
Is bread youth?
Is bread sorrow?
Is bread
A marshmallow?
What is bread?
In the dream
I didn’t want to give him the $20 on my dresser.
Days before there weren’t
And then were snakes
Of blue, red, and lemon
Ejecting from a hedge
Maze, a garden.
I want on a walk.
I want
Every morning
The damp, loose soft
Of the sky.
I sleep in a room.
I store clothing there.
Outside my room is a hallway
That leads to a door
Beyond which
Is a street
In a city
In a world
In which I live too.
I live in this world.
I live
Today.
I’m of a time.
It will know its name when
