a primordial being in his prime
a masculine ego quest for affaire d’amour;
her night-loving body

Dream 1: 4 Weeks In Positano

My dog's as smart as a geek and other doggy poems
My dog's as smart as a geek.
He can bark in English, Arabic, and Greek.
He’s expert in canine mathematics,
can discuss dog-fight aerodynamics,
and is fluent in bow-wow doublespeak.
And yours?
Would it be okay if later today
I brought Bixby...

Deep CoMessianic Engagement
Ms. Real Time,
an often engaging Taoist,
but sometimes, admittedly, not so much,
more of a disengaged cannibal really
on her dark time of before and after
her Taoist stimulating period

There are actual people
half woman half man
running mornings and
dream people in movies
half language half light.
Tomorrow is John’s funeral.
