Waiting for word ‘n’ wind to change . the continuum
/ chest fears up, level 20s / cowrites morbidities.
The down cast must weigh a ton but who minds
back stories . blood thick, game able enough to get
hers/yours off . past squeezy trigger specialists.
With no one yelling Stop! conduct
a search for sand dispersed scorpions, perform
ablutions | switch new pronouns trip on stage lip
high end slit . regroom.
If there’s worry ghosts might show
at your banquet table . fair^foul wares, too craven!
signal the cookers of virtue on charcoal | plot
fork ‘n’ knives clean . slice through.

Masks draw lines . shots spook rights | Arrgh!
In earth
warm suits pole stars drop by, offering cough
cross nail protection . newspaper props.
Ahead forgers open
channels more than at any fault in memory / snatched
orphans coin polishing some place / which for first
worms should merit millipedal leap honors.
To family, friends . tail baiting lovers
sworn to love that fasts, say little | metrics run on
what Pact Sealed cells sent here hold.
Meantime the ocean saltier than it looks says
It’s Okay . unsubscribe, walk | imagine your surprise.

LESSING
*PRETENTIOUS Georgetowners often called Lessing
‘Pretensive’, and he was a precious nuisance,
Not least to himself, having already grown
Fed up of hearing his own voice spewing rubbish –
Which wasn’t garbage because it was all lies
But because it was convictions become bored
With themselves for their very self-addiction
(from “Charon’s Anchors” by Brian Chan)
