For city ceremony subscribers march village
insteps not precise like the ranks of sunglasses
in State viewing stands; learners in school
uniform waving flags.
From nothing nothing folds ? fat time to lift
on ‘n’ off bottom housing | river shallow
standards . low so grab the great tide paddle
glide away.
Gravity not talked about @hearts ‘n’ mind
the mongoose envy of the stallion | Tuesday ~
Thursday quiet matinee storms; weekend wall
socket duty.
Little more than swollen breath her veiled
face wanting to feel seen again jump^
starts stutterings of brief nudity ! head bow^
man grunts Don’t Try it again.
+
Cache flow that needs a spark ? redemption
Marley match scratch vibe | told work hard
@crowd rouse vendors wire hang separate^
equal bridge ware.
Dread stirring . in guts ‘n’ pots as issues
boil cell mates wriggle feeding; disturbed
bed keepers release the seas | Watch out,
wet steam builder.

YUH RAP SO (5.7)
Easier asked than addressed, like all hopeful
Petitions – or prayers, even Heaven chock-full
Of t-dotting i-crossing cross-eyed slackers,
Haloed plunderers + blundering plumbers
Proving the bureau- + the auto- crat one
Functionary fulfilling fascism’s gene
– At least, that was how Brendan Thomasson saw
The bad seed that needs be choked throughout Nature
Even in the face of its weeds that never
Can be got rid of + so can take over
The best laid lawns of orderly existence.
(from “Raponani” by Brian Chan, 2023)
