Lightbulb

...Akin we are to Lightbulbs,
but not as may be told;
for creativity and Eureka! —
are dreams that can be sold.

We invite them their Control,
and hand over our souls;
prov'd that subtly they may...

In my Room

...In my room with its broken latch
There's postcards of hens and foxes
and a disused TV set
There's a collection of analogue cameras
Some I use
Some of my lightbulbs are out
There's a book of Tra...

...The ground was full of brittle crackly things
They broke as I walked.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
I thought I was walking on lightbulbs.

I stopped walking to look and see

More is Less

...How you feel is not enough,
You as this is less than function,
Avert the feel, replace with stuff,
Or suffer states, disjunction.

Comparing scrambled eggs to buzzing locust,
To the mumbled min...

Oh Christ! The Train's a Comin'

...

       The rash upon my wrist
                       awaits the railroad track
                                      Nail
                             to penetrate my flesh
                  ...

Rave

...A rusty old retro vintage bubblegum drop machine
Positioned next to me as I am seeing above me
Spherical lightbulbs and strobelights of flashing rainbow colours....

Lace

...Brightness peeps into
yellowing net curtains;
brief wafts of a semaphore sky.

An elderly lady has planted her mind
in an apartment,
lightbulbs burn out, are never replaced;
sunshine squints t...

Ocean

...I miss the ocean!
As everyday it was my friend.
But now I'm hot and sticky,
Being stuck inland!

I used to admire her crashing waves,
As they approached the beach.
Now all I have is my garden ...

Dandelion Vampire Redux

...I met dandelion child when I needed a friend
we met and we were friends to the end.
of course not, that would be no fun

To gaslight again, to preach upon a cha...

Q Tipping

...I remember when
Q was part of a Tip
now Q is a one way trip
to crazy town
It’s a place where thoughts flip
and up is down
Where every imaginable 
conspiracy is found
Listen to that mind crack...

Worth the Wait

...The clouds light up like lightbulbs, as the sun sets beyond the hill
Some are tinted gray, with bright shining edges of white
They are spread all over the place, above the pine trees so still
A mo...

Moth

...A moths flight path is erratic
It flits from place to place 
First it’s on your ceiling
Then it’s dive bombing your face

It hits its head on lightbulbs 
Even though they’re really hot
Killing...

Not All That Long Ago

...The King dreamed of a contraption, a device
   that would light up his night, so nice
No wax melting, no moths smelting
   Not all that long ago...

He dreamed of food and drink always cold

Jimmy Page Was Here On July 4th

...As the sun sets
A hot wind like this
Does not belong in downtown Lansing
But here it is
Speed-boating down the Grand River grinning and wearing Ray-Bans

My wife and I
We hold down our pouncin...

Big Ideas

...big ideas

twirling

spinning ideas bouncing off each other
cracking spines in empty space
     shattering
