Special Purple Leaf

Count on a further duration of joy.
In gravel underwritten by sand
your vehicle’s cruising wheel
distorts like an uninterrupted kiss’ mobility.
Count on a future of happiness.
Listening into the air
which arrives for you alone, you hear:
Special Purple Leaf.
A public train issues its joyful scream;
pseudo-mushrooms wriggle from falling water.
Haven’t you taken the day
and studied a prepossessing art?
The stranger crumbles their little paper
into your lap as they pass: <3 [mobile #]
Stones lain by the dead cup your route.
Without volition, your troublemaker heart
leads you to iced coffee spritzer.
Seeing dolphins way out there is fine.
Pinkish fire doesn’t choose what to touch;
having a sense is anti-design.
Seeing dolphins way out there is fine.
Little can’t be known
upon a well-selected complement’s reflection:
Special Purple Leaf.

Thirst for twisty water surprises you
like the weight of a hollow, sunflower brownish-yellow chain’s link.
Standing to watch your lunch-date return to work
your being overcome goes on
beneath their final, laughing glance.
If you accumulate tens of thousands of evolutions
and the passage of an immense machine concretises
your sublime dream can newly render wet:
Special Purple Leaf.
Listening for structure and count,
can your very dense idea encircle my habits?
Listening for structure and count,
my love for a silly look is up in the wind
with whatever you like to see:
Special Purple Leaf.

sporting the most
overweening of Leviathans—while at the
same time climbing out the skunk of the atmos¬
phere a most extinct stegosaur in our
microcost of life. We are treated to the
travesty of urban life on a small ranch in
West Texas, perfun¬
ded by huge trucks loaded with pastoral
wafer dust, bristling with cones and carted
anaphorically indeed—biomechanically
aggrieved, indefinably breached, muttering
“die motherfucker”
“die motherfucker”
“Don’t you get Joshua Tree?”
“Yes, completely.”

TONIGHT IS THE DAY

You’re a man on a boat
But before that you’re a child
On your way home from school.
Want to smoke a joint?
You imagine yourself smoking it
Walking to your house
Where you were sent to live.
You register the sky
The way it smells.
Suddenly there’s no time to get home
And then, there’s only time.
Living on a boat sounds wonderful
For a couple of weeks.
Until your brother drowns.
On a Tuesday you reach
The west coast.
Now every day there’s sun
And every Saturday
You eat bánh xèo.

glutted with bridge my silly web, me
sly felt hat, primarily, and plain
rags, bridge beams smoothened with brown oil
smelted coin edges press bows in pouch
stud-heads scuff my cuffed felt, instead

splintering bridge, my rake and moss hoe
green worm with knubs for grasper, ribbon
from hilt, red liquid in sealed vase bursts
breaking fruit stick plus geodic flame

time object onto the rumored rock

a deer skinning knife was left on the hood of my car

I plant to destroy all webs, pods, tabs, caps, lids

choking the zone out reveals game-level hemorrhaging

bubble gum I’m chewing is more like antifreeze

I made my own hunting knife this summer from a block

of steel and a wood-chunk / fucked with cactus

riding a bike in a circle / I’ll snort up all the spicy kind

make my huge debut on live network televesion
