Shape Up Poems - Poems about Shape Up

newspaper business has brought us far

newspaper business has brought us far
to these territories where desert rivers
descend from    huge clouds cultivated
but we live on        twisted lips to build
something for              those coming in
oh you who love   

I can't be

I can’t be
 sharing 
 my body  
 with you  
 who’s now a shallow pool 
 though the room is offices
 I can hear them panting now
   his saliva wet every bedsheet
he’s your boss
          your CEO
     

I’m a dumb rooster’s beak

I’m a dumb rooster’s beak
 pecking broken chunks of cheese
                             from every event
every moment is astonishment
           

you have something to tell me

you have something to tell me
                          before afterglow
because I have a man’s feelings
           you can’t buy it from me
that even

watch my wristwatch

watch my wristwatch
      and what time is it
     I cannot not tell you
though this is partly sunny
each laughter from the room
                    is that document
   

all directions from the same place

all directions from the same place 
don’t lead to the same place
  that’s why you’re a butterfly
     and I, a moth, but one family
         the abandoned lawn
            but I care about

there's no true lovers

there’s no true lovers
but just lovers who never change
               so at this party morning
                     we create a situation 
and you join

party morning

               party morning
             and we have ascribed to you
           your inapprehensible walking 
      

poem number 5 from poetica ads

                           Silver A is the slot this wet morning
                    

poem number 4 from poetica ads

                                                   it’s still brick
 

poem number 2 from poetica ads

                                 in the foundry
