Unattainable (1999)
An impossible self help question
will wait
check out
be home
unless you are a fan
of stupid networks. One of the tightest
going nuclear photographs cuts
waste and overlooks ad agency
ethics. To understand more
toast the Broadway stage with
handgun exits, silent designs
before clicking to play
shut the books
cool detachment
self protection
when the Coca Cola intelligentsia
stumble in household income
and brain drain your
favorite photos. Who is
that artist in the break room mirror
found in prison? I have a prop
like yours: a picture with problems.

Dying Texarkana Pigeons
Strewn across streets
there in Texarkana where
bankers duck and cover
from pigeon shit deposits,
two dozen convulse
in front of CapitalOne
ruining the Quadrangle
Festival parade.
Carrier pigeons hustle
secret bids back and forth
among foreign stock
exchanges while capuchines
preen from their regal
coifs showing some leg
for the cameras.
Archangel pigeons
shuck and coo from turrets
as bodies of damascenes
daily are unearthed
with no blue almond
homers to recite their exploits
beneath droppings from
the marble head that winks.
O who has poisoned
these magpies and nun
pigeons in the name
of cleanliness and commerce?
