Head Shot

Head Shot (2008)

[Click on the image above to see the view with binoculars.]

A portrait
of instant death
or marketing tool for damage
during audtions. I said
that really looks like you
retouching yourself
like a crisp gamer gone theatrical
performing at corporate events
with fatal Polaroids
developing before poses
are frozen. Boom. Act up.
Beltway sniping fun
under lulzy fill light shows
every outdoor cheat
of your best side.

Open the trunk a crack
to click and shoot.

Balance Beam Deduction

Balance Beam Deduction (2008)

[Click on the image above to see the view with binoculars.]

Lapses in control
are always errors. You either fall
or finish your routine.
When I dismount
I turn on one taped foot
until each judge
checks the mat for compulsory
lack of variety in saltos
and you note a single element
I did not stick.

Did you pre-determine
every mark made against me?

The Floe Goes

The Floe Goes (2008)

[Click on image above to see the view with binoculars.]

A cub
looks at an expanse
of chunks. No camping on top
of the remaining world.

Our matter-of-fact excavation is
ahead of schedule.

Fair winds
better get cracking
or else. A pale polar bear
has a survival rush.

You Old Witch

You Old Witch (2008)

[Click on the image above to see the view with binoculars.]

What avatar forbade her
godless helter skelter? Cow of mine
she cantillated. The kitchen is finally empty
of werewolves and digital rights. I looked closely
enough to see the errors on the moon. I could
feel its database. This is the damned place
she wants in her house this fall. I ran. I ran and ran.

Grumpy and pregnant
she tapped on the windows all night.

At the Beach

At the Beach (2008)

[Click on the image above to see the view with binoculars.]

Five levels of tanning
including pride.

Deco activities,
fun and festive, relaxed horrors,
amusements with salt water, custom made
topless fiddling. Harmful algae blooms into a burlesque.
The building industry nags at every horizon.

Another loony family spends a week together
intimately stressed.

Divorce blows in Mediterranean-style.
Sand castles dilapidate.

Stingrays singing under air mattresses
size up the kids.
