Long Sprocket Poems

Should we shed the boy and be a man?
Shoot of spirit wild -to be tamed in the tamed land.
Where is the proof that this cynical evolution;
this cyclical passthrough is a strengthened constitution.
A blur and a...

Tuck into the public
private seclusion.

My aversion to inclusion
includes a stub, a tub,
a carelessly careful curation,
a velvet rope, a hint of hope,
a folding chair, softened and stickied 
by foam and frothing soda spills.

A not soundless though...

He never came back, no one ever did,
she was trapped inside with all that she knew,
no more information came to her now,
but he’d programmed her to know what do to,

SONG OF ANALOG MAN

Don't blog. 
Sing in analog.
Log-off in space. 

Wasted time! 
In machine rhyme.
Holding data in your face.

Past, heart shaped locket.
Present, gear and shinny sprocket.
Pendulum stops in place.

Time machine,speaks tick-tock.
Strings and loops, in quantum...

I put you on a stand; some say it is a pedestal.

I appear before you; I am in awe of the work before me.

Sometimes life is but a flat tire; air is such a revitalizer!

Paul and Charlotte are up in the Rocket

Right Charlotte, Under no circumstances, touch that socket
Okay Paul

You’re on watch, now skip
That’s not fair

If we are to discover what is out there
we must board the Holy Ghost,
cleave the winds of time
into gods and tridents,
count the star clusters within us.

Under seeking skulls: those white domes,
antique tripods brace themselves,
their quaint...

The camera inside the picture
concertina's time-lines into exclamation points.
Antique tripods brace themselves,
their quaint brass fittings
help minds to adjust.

Some turn a grooved infinity sprocket.
Some cave paint on the arching
bones of elk heads.

If we are to discover...

I hear that after she tried to break me
she herself broke down.
A friend of a friend said he distinctly heard 
her main-spring go.

They say she broke
in the London underground.

Immodest elemental, 
cloud of sin full vapor,
you stretch as a taffy,
bunched anti demure

Witch of the winds,
you -graph a pillow walk, 
billboard drone of stalk

Joining peepshow in precarious ways,
your nefarious stay,
akin to shadows on the wall,

Sunlight long gone for Night's Moonlight
And its sure throbbing delight:
"God, help me tomorrow at school
To exams pass and feel 'No Fool' "
This night watchers to buy tickets, 
As shrill chirps we start like crickets;
Outlaws choose...
