a tradition of artemis
colors adapted without

hands or a traditional center

racing like a fascinating tourbillon

without hands or tradition
spinning dials located in time

red-lined with boat sails watch

a limited run necessary

and happy in a way
our english cushions dictate
insouciant as lerner’s date

things not words or things which show
the dictionary has as much to do
with diction as she is seriously taken

an irreverent lack of insouciance it doesn’t
necessarily mean you haven’t defended her brother
free from meaning’s synonymous shrug

looking insouciant at insight which seriously
she is irreverent he reminds her and ripe
plucked authoritative you don’t mean a lack

of feeling unctuous anxious careless careless
prepared to burn and unctuous or a thing
casually taken seriously a lack of teeth

and a calm state related with disdain
disparaging more translative more insouciant
shrug straight-ahead saucy and free online

I ride a racer to erase her.
Bent over like a hunchback.
Racing leathers now include a hump
That protects the poet’s spine and neck.
I wring the thing out, two hundred miles an hour.
I am a mink on a mink ranch determined not
To die inside its valuable fur, inside my racesuit.

I bought the racer
To replace her.
It became my slave and I its.
All it lacked was tits.
All it lacked
Between its wheels was hair.
I don’t care.
We do it anyway.

The starter-caddy spins its raving little wheel
Against the Superbike’s elevated fat black
Rear soft-compound tire.
Remember: racer—
Down for second gear instead of up!
Release the clutch—the engine fires.
I am off for my warm-up lap on a factory racer
Because I can’t face her.

I ride my racer to erase her.
I ride in armor to
Three hundred nineteen kilometers an hour.
I am a mink on a mink ranch about
To die inside its valuable fur,
Inside my leathers.
She scoops me out to make a coat for her.
She buttons up a me of sort warm blur.

Is this the face that launched
A thousand slave ships?
The world is just outstanding.
My slavery never wavers.
I use the word “slavers”
To mean both “drools”
And, changing the pronunciation, “trades in slaves.”
I consider myself most of these.

Mark Peploe and I used to sit around
Cafés in Florence grading
Muses’ noses.
Hers hooks like Gauguin’s,
His silent huge hooked hawk prow.
I am the cactus. You are the hyena.
I am the crash, you the fireball of Jet-A . . .
Only to turn catastrophe into dawn.

enduring in the
enduring question
for sale three quarks each

until it was discovered
destroyed electrons
grains three quarks each

evolved along with humanity
people once were enduring
blocks three quarks each

inside quarks said the physicist
have we haven’t we been able
to see any evidence at all

most fundamental layer
of matter the physicist asks
have we any evidence at all

we’re reached most fundamental
layers matter bits of matter
or quarks and evidence all

if quarks say science
how small the universe
abject possession of minutes

that even quarks and electrons
divide the horizon bits of matter
existence even more minute

graphic scientists don’t know
quarks even channel horizon
the idea appears as space

two particles like quarks
smooth but correct an
idea appears to be loops

of discrete pixels
or grains some of
no matter with no

experiments teensy
tiny particles would
solve universal tiff

referred to by physicists
still spatial still discrete
often recursive

to loops of being two
particles would each
always solve the other

able to loop a grain
sometimes referred
to infinitely close actually

large

i have investigated
these different cell types
normal or cancer and epithelial

under different experimental
conditions the signaling pathways
have been studied via western blot

to assess the up or down regulation
and activation the results are unpublished
and data collection is ongoing therefore

i cannot be more specific
regarding the findings of
cell migration and activation

“There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He permitted them. Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.” Matthew 8

 

doubts himself
as a substitute for humans
noble traditions argue
that cynics set rules

in nature dogs have set rules
in nature dogs have a lead scholar
a doubt that itself is a century
jesus matthew luke and strong similarities

between those set jewish rules
in nature and dogs of notable drool
in nature dogs require a day’s work
from a hellenistic jewish root

watchdog in finery in which
hellenistic jews thought to smell
the cynics and mack strong similarities

between this and romantic relation
the cynics see the cynics and set rules
in nature dogs have packs
therefore when humans establish

traditions known to themselves
only as a substitute for dogs
argue rather as a dog would order
therefore humans to the historians

life argues itself as a world
in danger of cities of cynics and set
rules in natural dogs have noble sailed
