HE GIVES IN A TAKING KIND OF WAY

I'm stoned this time
Not distant as I'd want
That would be Sun Ra
Chevy Impala
The way a saxophone
Nothing can fix it
I'm so lip service
Don't yawn on me
Instead I'll play the numbers
There's no in-between
Misery isn't a sentence
Bobby's in heaven
Jail didn't work
That's the ticket
Like a flutter I'm feeling deep in my stomach
It's yours
I'm a Boddhisattva
So I won't spit if I'm being attacked
No different than any vic
That's the prodigal of this pedagogue
Intoxicate or leave it
"You on LSD?"
"No just love"
Laughing so hard
This practical hurts nowhere
Beside a newborn cue ball
Don't rub
This bomb and agony
Dreams full of Archie Shepp
How Jack Kerouac died
It's a phone book
Ending at the rainstorm
No one reads this novel
There's too and Tuli
Please Rosary Lady
Let's go to confession
The passion of the Montclair line
In Africa's pleasant fields.

COULD'VE BEEN YOU

You talked
looked like you in black
big dark sunglasses on a small kind face
i remembered back then
you said you were over 30
that'll make you stay in l.a.
sound like her too
but i can't remember her voice
when you saw your friend the filmmaker
your glasses off
eyes blue
i almost fell in
knowing we'd never speak again
i'm bolted to this air
beyond fair
sun sprinkles
the way a shower curtain in a barroom
potato eyes crying vodka
beyond my stupendities are a whisper
your gentleness just a finger
that's what i'm saying
i'd still kiss you before the car crash
on the bridge
you're not dead in minnesota
i'm not dead here on mcdougall
please smile for me
again

FOR E.

I want a tongue
Lies feeling sorrow
Stupid
Make hope close
Come home hair
Okay place beyond sleeping
Criying friends in the queasy beyond
Forever deserted speak welcome
Letting voice hurt
Lock forever
Weren't my
You forgot the nowhere
Here forgotten
Not deserted welcome
Your saying your name
Laying thanks
Mine's not started
That go
Name bar debase
Come stopping wrong hope
On a short count
This beyond is beyond me
Like an electric spasm
The shock barrier
Pull it now
With those long teeth
And so so
Teach me that step
Otherwise it stops

DRINKING

Drinking is not an institution
I'm sitting here in rain
But I'm not Li-Po
This is a negative
On the bright side
The euphoria
Blonde as a summer day
Only late
The way a cab in a storm
The Pollacks of yesterday
Bifurcation
Separate out of this wonderful
Like a trip to Disneyland
A spike beyond the numb
Into the zone
Where the futures go
Tryptich to the dark side
I'm a benefactor
I'm a junk monkey
Clusters of impression
An artist so sleep
Going deep
Drinking is not Euphrates
The sip
The shadow on a brick street
Memory
Mist off a fresh
Where the eyes close
Discards
Masters of monty
Laughing at the vic
Don't take the hot shot
You're a goner
It's hard time
Until you max
Drinking is a low down
What town hat
In this plaster
Take it to the flap
Find your ticket
Astoria
Full of flowers
Give this version
A slip-up
That's where treasure goes
Take yourself an alphabet
Intoxicate
Until you lose
