SOME SENSE OF HERE HALF THERE

              
           Well being in ocean clutch . coast side shamans hedge
           the shore so . watch them monster truck wheel rolling
           raptures ‘cross our lot | back dam alert
: Upgrade!
          
our cutting edge will print you . world game head.

                               / Thank God for pain relievers, Grandma
           sighed | off show fair daughters traded, bosoms
           rising at demand
. stomach hybrid proof.

                      / As things got worse we held tongue loss
           vest
close | + chair campers on heritage grounds
           jook
jiggling what’s left in us of those days.
                                                                Grandpa smiles
          
when we strip ‘n’ dip into his dried ol’ grain.

                                               *

           First monologue?  from Shakespeare in the class
           room | cells they wouldn’t leave home without help
          
followers walk on water; pronoun star turn,
          
Heaven knows.

           Signs of waning send the rumpus room lizard
           into scurry | See‘t?  low moon ‘im cyaan ‘oist
           his nobody perfect handle trying . only one
          
Time left? around.                
                                                    \ Since particles pass
          
tagless through the air . heart pure our space
          
launch^sure . bam bam bebe shakey wakey
          
weave . raison to build believe.

           YUH RAP SO (0.6)

          Judd was one of those humanoids who, after
          Just a few experimental decades of
         
One more brief sojourn on Earth, assume they know
         
Other fallen humanoids better than they
          Care to remember themselves as living gods:

          For so Judd recalled his self; so how come not
          His comrades their selves?  He sensed Freda knew her
         
God-sense in her bones, by the way they would stir,
         
As of their own volition beside her will
         
To sit or stand or lean up against a wall
         
Or stretch or be stretched or curl up in his bed

            (from “Raponani” by Brian Chan, 2023)
