Shields Up

Shields Up (2009)

The daily handlers of Congress feel more vulnerable.

Your un-numbered patch enhances journalist's rights.

Your global cooperative explodes like twin stars.

Back in the real world malware is everywhere.

Websites that scan your drives kill Facebook friends.

Please clean up whatever HDTV mess you made first.

Your energy barrier still somehow lets Twitter through.

Who Invited the Crows?

Who Invited the Crows? (2009)

I invited your friends

but not you. I met a lot of people like me

on reservations with nothing who said

Oh, king, I am so grateful for scraps, you said.

Eat the pindas, you said. Invoke a full moon,

you said. Do you think I am responsible

for history, you said. Make a hundred dresses,

you said. Spook me with your cawing,

you said. My feathers are much darker,

you said. Twines His Tail told me, you said.

Plymouth hurt my head, you said, and who ever said

I want to pick through your leavings anyway, you said.

The Sun Gets in Your Eyes

The Sun Gets in Your Eyes (2009)

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

Sunglasses filter your radar.
Slather sunscreen over
your dark lenses
because you don't know what

love is. Expose
all storms not burned away
to me. So what
clouds left burn off like rice

paper. I write
to you about a sun upside
down until images
fill your brain with fire.

Gumby Doppelganger

Gumby Doppelganger (2009)

I look like stop-motion
photography but

my rubber tail is
a square,

hard lines. I live
briefly

to ascertain,
to massacre.
