born w/ yellow eyes


I can't calm myself down
w/o dreaming first

windows to nowhere

I'm under the table
w/ a video camera

look at you
w/ your lips
on the light switch

 

little wig face


cable eye one

too many noodles
so I stepped back
& watched the action

not unlike a ceiling fly

catch a grape sourball
number niner
it's too bad about
the underwater alphabet

at bucktoothed sunrise

fish are startled
when we do this
in the river

 

The Sunshine Ghost w/ the White Noise Participle


I'm the harbinger of tasty times to come.

They've stapled raw bacon
to the walls of my padded cell.

I was caught
fleeing the scene
w/ old newspapers.

as long as it's raining


down in the cannibal swamp
where sunshine ain't customary

raw
rubbed wrong

there goes a toad

I'm wearing my fisherman cap
I'm going back to the water
            with haiku spear
            with knives

combat gauze
from amazon dot com

the blind monks
under the house
chanting
            brain salad

for the benefit
of the snails

 

tree lit up golly


we need locks on these fish tanks
but who's got money for that
in this winter of no fireflies
that's the way it is up here

Anthony Underwolf
has the microphone

listen closely, kids

 

first with pliers


Summer 19xx

            redshift articulator
            marching to the sea
            demanding a halo

politely denouncing sunlight
staring at dimestore stars
for the fourth night

camping out
ain't so bad –
right, Eddie?

"Little" Ed Little has

            marks of Heaven
            hands for good
            brains for God
ribs thru shirt
pen in pocket
one hundred grand
            on hand

 

pardon the apostrophe


crawling with babies
hello popular ystrdy
geronimo plastic

the angel-headed owl
has another pinch of sun snuff

today it's salamander coins

 

BACKSLASH UNICEF


crows every morning
radio & notes

sun-smog

fighting over
human hearts

answer w/ noise
alarm!
