The poem starts like this
That morning I shat like excavating a pharaoh’s tomb. It really shook me.
Thinking I could peel back the eyelids and open her
Like a pharaoh’s tomb, she would lay a trap pillow I’d fall into.
When I woke up, scratching my ass,
I found her cookbooks on the couch. Why can’t
I stay on one string of ideas.dumb.
Write for a few minutes, expect gold.
Write an hour, get a sack of coal.dumb.

Evening Prayer

Evening Prayer
Today I slept 5 minutes in. When the floor of the bed shook hands and
parted ways with my ass, the tea was ready. Today I wobbled. When
moving my 45% couch across the house, I was really sitting. When
today came around, it’s tomorrow. It’s all ready- the baked pastries-
tomorrow.
Do whatever you want
to me. I like what you do.
I’m a fan of your work, I mean. disembody

poetry was all moving
It’s today that spends the night
to munch tomorrow’s toast, a fleeting
owl poetry. The undergoer that can pulse
in the crescent of sprinkler hoses

is potent rude. look at poetry,  even creepycrawlers beat a retreat from
that poetry.

The words the Wordword words are bloated and
frozen. Today I slept skinny.

A comer and a goer in and out my doors,
jerry and gary, and the troggs too,
Smelling cigars is somebody’s hobby
somewhere somebody’s hobby smelling cigars What a backwards line somebody’s hobby somewhere hobbying the smelling of cigars. oh here’s one, cigars of the hobbyists’ delight smell those cigars like it is  somebody’s business, you know the smelling of cigars. this energy
                                                is limitless.
hid in a box, cigars from dad. a serious subject
because it is personal. The page is a battlefield.(alright, make an analogy) I’m not ready to command these troops across the poem.
it shouldn’t be alive
My poem requires ideas of juice ideas that juiceignite. This is basically a cold care kit.(borrowed language) Smelly slippers.(distraction. gary is a name I’d like but I don’t want any government to know how it is Skinny under a blanket of name. reader, don’t forget
your capItalizaTion.

Deargod,
What was I saying? Right, “Tobacco ads spread like cancer” on DVD  VHS  pie
charts. Thanks.
Suspiciously,
Chrle Epstn, bloated and frozen

For your allergies, take..
If I never had to
pick my nose,

a nostril unfull

a clean cave
cock carriage

a godless void,

I would smell the
world all over again.
an anti-asthmatic take…

but…Would I stop
liking cauliflower?

Maybe its best not to
fill that prescription…



Wild eyes prancing through and in forest
fingers, gnarling, trapping any one like
a child in a corner, in a flo
wer, under the belly of a turtle.
Pavement won my heart. beats with its green limbs.
Tum ta tum tee ta too tak tak ta tak
Thrush of water zig zags. sheet music sings
its zag zig jig hook a jaguar turret
tat tat tat ta tat yat yuck yeet sheep sleep
ing. taking. squeezing. ruckus. fuckus. us
used for leather jackets that zip sleakly
pretty words used for sonnet makes A grade,
what is lame is what is lame in the leg
trudged itself down and back the gay pride p’rade.



the reader's power



what is your
            response
            ability
when your lungs inhale the light
that has whelmed your kitchen sparkly?
Does your
            twinmind
fight itself for a say?
How do
            I look
today?
Could you
            pee right
to the left
of her foot?
Possess
            some common
sense, you and I?
We could learn to love each other, reader. But you have to
            let me take you
my way.
get down
                                                                                                                                    here.
never resist me
            because
I’m all you got.

AMORETTI, SONNET #75 By Edmund, rewritten.

This doesn't matter
to me, people. Old
people should not tell anyone how to
love. Love is always-
                 evolving.
      The love melissa 
makes,
i make. Our love is not any body's love. A
community of two, like blowfish.

if any one in this world has this camera, contact immediately. its beautiful, god. well, to such fella:
lets become familiar with each other, so maybe one day youll realize
i have something you want, too. then a trade.


"CHARLES EPSTEIN'S MUCH-NEEDED LESSON ON THE EMPHASIS OF THE INDIVIDUAL NONCONFORMIST FREAKAZOIDIC MAN-HUNGRY ALIEN WHORES Once there was a lonesome boy, one with no politics, no bonds, no emotion; nothing to regret. His friends were those who held interest in him. His true friend lied within his complexities. Then God created Earth. It was a very long process and required the majority of the people's taxdollars. All and all, God did a decent job. But one aspect God ignored, a problem that was prolonged to the many later centuries, was the ability for human minds to analyze, evaluate, and judge for their own what is most benificial. Reprecussions were closed-minded conformitym which led to war, racial discrimination, and...... THE END"

some other guy, and chris nealon: reading



some other guy, and chris nealon: reading

            The first reader was an ol nerved man with a lot to say about his poetry. A math poet, I’ll call him, because he seemed to weave his poems with computations. I don’t really remember any of his poetry because he was a lackluster reader. But I like old people like that. Even with his monotone, he seemed to have more life than the youth, with his half grin smile and wit joke.
           
            It was kinda like watching a mediocre movie with a friend you wanted to kiss but too afraid, except it was nothing like that. It was like being awkwardly stoned, sitting next to one’s poetry workshop teacher and a girl with legs too long. I was lumpy and nostalgic then. I wondered what made you so sick. I wondered if c4c got you sick. Then I remembered I had c4c, too, a likely flatulence brewing within me. Did my imaginable fart make you leave? I don’t feel bad about it, I’m just interested.

            The first reader was done reading and I clapped for him like I clap for everyone.

            The second reader came up and his name is chris nealon. I’ll call him a language poet. Man, the man was dressed up good. If I were to analyze his getup, that would make this response much longer. I won’t. But I could tell how he wrote. He was a lazy poet like me, with a phd. He talked about cars and social blinkers. It was nice, because it was a night to
            fuck the establishment.
After that, I thought about checkers. Does chess really have more elegance? The seats were terribly uncomfortable. Poetry is about complaining, you see.

            I liked the way nealon spoke. Calm like a sniper but always hit the punchline.

Eventually, the women adopted qualities of the men, as seen in fashion change. Denim jeans, the workingman’s uniform, are now common among female legs.
A female is not a woman, for a female is yet unmarred by social influence. A woman is a female, an extension of what being a female can be.

c

I was five hours early. I walk
away uncomprehending, Thanksgiving glee stupefied; hunger
was my concern.
I survey the mediocre food establishments available, get dizzy
and sit down. So much shit to shit with hours to destroy through
choked security and

reading and
whistling whistles and
pacing to a dizzy and
sitting to a calmed dizzy and
eating ten dollars of hamburger and drinking and remembering sex and fighting off boners and
sitting without boners and standing again

and David Bowie audio circus and staring and staring and staring at 10:02, 10:02, and 10:02, and 10:01, and 10:03 and
Living middle earth sketches
a chain reaction
then the staircase trips over itself
over. friendships and attention, powerful and lonely. two stumbles per step. limpish.-desirable being broken. people want their own dramaticDeath, but it's easiest just to lie there.

One lies there with the jaw limp, gawks at the drama they owned year round on television, for some, bystandervision. the lucky ones are someone else's drama.

Snakecave corridor in a dresser won’t please or dress her, the police the berry picking magic. When two people smell numbers. Exploration is haunt. Where are we. we are again. where we are. circles in square could lighten a frown monster. That yellow blackness, severe; sticky repetition, sours milk love that happens might happen. Walked up so down, gave birth a direction creation unseen but heard, brave submissive. Moment. Moment. Moment. Three moments in a momentous. Tabernacle. Canopy crawlers. Probably old growth with weakened age window, impossible. You lost impossible ear canals, dwit Monday split down the head, treat yourself like God in a box septiverse. I sit in a tub of eyes no one sees. They are owned eyes- can’t understand beautiful women from doorknobs. Walking from interview to sideshow is a cigarette nicely accented earth. Sounds like. Unborn architecture resting on a pillow. Doctor coughs.

the moment it becomes

it has observed privileges.

wonderf(empty)ul

some words can be plucked out and away
from a poem. a language living on necessity (not necessities, because a plural is excessive) has a
perfect design. a sentence can be travelled faster without the




i use parentheses to guard the weaker words. the reader im imagining carries a red pen,
so i better get it right the first time.
my 6th grade english teacher made shit of my written english
with her red pen. if i was frustrated, there would probably be Mom saying i was wonderful.

in the nude, no body has a bookdeal and no one cares who i/you am. children understand this the most. they remember coming out from their mothers, naked. and they run(flaunt) their nakedness around the front yard
until- years later- they are the ones scolding children.
look at me. look at me, or anyone, for what? their nudities, which we call quirks? no, maybe the words spoken are the things in a person most essential. but the Average person isnt concerned for what comes out of its mouth? how can i Learn the Average person when there is garbage blocking its mouth from speaking its own truth? could anyone offer some mind matter? an answer, perhaps

I would
I would like to
I would like to tell you
I would like now to tell you
I would like to tell you all secrets
I would like to tell you all secrets of the happenings

You are stuck in the
moment
Stuck slower than motion
No air raid
Nothing left to touch you

You are stuck in this happening moment kneeling
and burning
Giving head to flying spirits
bring you down
You are no bird

In a
room of rooms
children seaving the sandbox.



Familiar

children running in slow motion
Boy: sits on swing
kicks sand
walking along a grass field
looks at the sun
looks at feet
A spot of shade under the slide
likes to whistle
Someone comes near
looks away
Tables and benches
ponders at feet
chainlink fence around
falling on rubber floor

Faint clatter

carries pointless plaything
children dwarfed passed their height
i would like to write a poem about
innocence and the excitement of childhood
