Rudolph Agonistes

Rudolph Agonistes (2009)

Red nose
my ass. It was
budget cuts. The haunts

of Christmas Town are shut
by drifts. Santa even took out
the candy stripe pole.

Incomplete toys
pile up on the workshop floor
like unread Milton

or water from former glaciers
or war
on earth not peace.

Football Drill

Football Drill (2009)

Make the most of your practice time:

like conditioning those who oppose you,
like making that catch on the edge of the world,
like a routine of agility,
like two-minute explosiveness,
like battle tested snaps and cheers,
like Draconian concussive choices,
like bass runs by black Steelers,
like rushing the spirit of good shuffles,
like a category for the quickness of flags,
like cervical cord injuries with common themes.

Catholic Hangover

Catholic Hangover (2009)

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

Chanting freestyle witchcraft.
Feasting on The One
at banquets advertising guy comedies.

The beauty of the church
I decry.

Diocesian sacrifice.

The church forbids marriage
if either party is infertile and I do
I think Madonna is the only fit Catholic

to pass
the ball for St Michael's.

The Natives Are Restless

The Natives Are Restless (2009)

Whether Hawaii style or swimming
the swamps of south Florida no one cares
what you see through your telescope. If you invest
wisely in the skirmish between the Theatre of the Vampires
and Darkest England you won't wind up
in stew. Unusual drum music
and other exotica like carbon paper
and flutes may be downloaded, and Mexican
complaints whip out faster than meat
shaken by belly dancing. I sense you're not
particularly interested in me. You might
hang a snap of my loin cloth on Flickr
and think differently after spinal taps by spear
and a sloppily shrunken head.

Water Lilies

Water Lilies (2009)

French films, newly sexualized by critics,
synonyms for hybrids, light floaters
better planted in a framed bayou

by Monet. I burst out of green sleeves,
my hands like koi under a pond's sheen,
a prop in Bardot's backdrop.

Something breaks the surface
Someone bends the design

until synopsis is like awful wallpaper.
The lotus is jealous of all splashing
giving rise to a new new wave.
