imagine koch met another koch
what brotherless friendship
othered even these plants’ music
the moirai graduates shack up on center street
and sap wondersided all three conversing for
many years with any living man
append the loose fringe of life
three-story building wits growing seemly
never the end of the world war
and for many years
it was a centered king living white hairs
divided into three-story buildings
and for many years
it was a quarrel
overrule eating anyone
seeds seem imagine
seeds seemed from kralupy
there was a giant that could grow seeds inside himself
from kralupy he stood
on these places
dry and wondersided a peerless wit
sap graduate lit out
her nerve expected rigor
on the book of the bad queen ananke
in white hairs divided in 1948
after places painters use white hairs
skin conium the back scars white hairs
divided into white hairs on hungry green leaves
three-story center a graduate street
a painterly fact the sprite in her oval eyes
every sap wondering about aeschylus’ life
the back scars were made
freilicher brought daucus candlestock to lower manhattan
her life in three-story buildings
in aeschylus’ life small atropos
in white hairs shell-case of destinies
dry and even third avenue at sixteenth street
a painter’s taste of three-story building anyone?
seems imaginable so much beautiful writing
in 1948 a graduate student travels to greece
and never returns it stood on top of a spool of thread
in my life three-story buildings imagine fact
beauty in bullet form imagine kenneth koch
met aeschylus and the bad queen
nature’s fate seems by comparison its power
fact: the case of places
dry and very small
atropos in our life
he powers
the center
of hope
four inches in aeschylus’ life
three-stories at the center of a poem
fringed many years’ white hairs
skin conium their family book of brunette
with oval epitome and strong seeds
seems a comparison koch met giants who live for men
append friendship and very funny poems
imagine kralupy it was a quarrel overruled
eating graduate students’ exceptional epitome moirai
group of genealogies
the fates lick ash
nature family their family ween
ananke in aeschylus’ life powers a quarrel
overrule eating it seems from the potion of the parcae
yes, we muddle language probably because fates best god
but later the giant allots lachesis
in her english way it’s clear to fate
the book of destinies from each into each
his eating of the fates their brotherless friendship
and even the word hector all atropos inflexible
never a moiragetes but man’s appellation of hope
four inches long
seeds seeds seeds
dry and euripides’ poison hemlock
conium that centers fact
the end of places
in this dry medical form
yr head if only he cared
down their hooves spectacular
the riders' blood spilled as much for me
but i was a wrestler and was a wrestler
and was a farce another wrapped around their hooves
spectacular the riderstand was a wrestler
and was a farce vested spectacular
the great heft of the riderstand
was a wrestler and a farce
as much for me as for
touching their hooves spectacular
their thighs before touching their
spectacular root of riderstand
was a wrestler and each other a wrestler
and given no horse i was a wrestler and
each other wrapped around each other
given no horse
the root of their hooves spectacular
their hooves spectacular the great heft of their hooves
spectacular their hooves spectacular
the riders' blood spilled as much for me
but i was a wrestler

“What they did want to hear was what the War Department was doing to put into practice the democracy preached by the administration. ‘Instead,’ said the Courier, ‘Negroes heard the old familiar platitudes, a eulogy of black soldiers who had won honors fighting for democracy, a little tap dancing and what amounted to praise of a jim-crow system that mocks the word democracy.” Roi Ottley, November 1941

of a provision
an interview
with laura ingraham
on slavery
this statement that provision what a paragraph
in our constitutional fact quiet chief of the man
clearly state what you know the x of the matter
that provision is known in fact
that chief is quite able to reach three-fifths of a man
that would bleach his constitution
in our great american i con
returned to ignorance at the first fugitive slave african-american-american-american-american-american-american-american-american-american
rights of 1854 which sad compromise was that chief
their major choice think about choice kansas nebraska missouri whoever
cast out of balance on whether black slavery slaves were truly people or not
would residents balance their interest against an interest-bearing heat or heart
on slavery slaves slave esclave chattel trash one man one woman
which fugitive rights movement their value allowed terminology
in black bodied neighborhoods of the night
compared with property deeds covenant on two knees
which allowed homeowners to place the black people’s spark in escrow
what is a right new fights movement for a movement
the prewar comparison with the value of legacy
black neighborhoods fleeting on black bodies
