The Hotel Caretaker
How unparticular the day had particularly been,
On March the third of two-thousand and eighteen,
For the caretaker at an historic Adirondack Inn,
Had lacked company, and therefore, dopamine.

The Strange Case of Ft

the stories I have calculated
to deliver a saving grace

Pellucid pachyderms wade across
the purpling River Manjees
and Tozzath watches from the bank,
the seat of his maroon pantaloons soaked with mud,
his nostrils flaring with the fragrance of ombadalias,
whose lacey petals flutter
like the wings of long-dead...

Clink clink clink clink...
Test tubes prattling past

Glistening under fake fluorescence
humming in harmony
with the magnetic motors
of conveyors, centrifuges and camshafts.

Sick Art
"Sick Art"
I walk the streets
still and quiet
I do not lie
I do not betray

The Giant of Lisbellaw
Stood I there, that last day,
On an iron bridge...

Where, looking dreamily out over
The Ernes Lower Lough,
My compressed shadow

Amidst coy Junes radiant beams
of sweet benign!
All was stilled,...

that judgmentally remain closed after glimpsed twigging -
a monumental fail,...

flirtatious lives taking risks
with the other sides
planned strategic functional
quantity rich quality lacking
Human

opposites
like magnets attract, it all fits
we think it...

The Woods of Four dimensions
Washed ashore on the lost island
Skin already peeling on the beach
Burning from the hot green summer sun
Meat melting off to become bone
Jumping back into the water
Cooling off with the clams and fish

Boiling all shades of yellow into

at ninety-one he now rejoined his wife,
no heirs to his estate, so one thing more
to do, and that's clear where he'd spent his life.
Downstairs had been quite...
