glue stick goes north

soothes who &
whom that l
 
a cloth bicycle
heaven of the golden
 
           millet

 


 

jerrycan exxonic

in the garden
at the beginning of the future
 
hear the gravy siren?
 
           I eat my andes mints
           & my radish pie
           at daniels & fisher tower
 
the BVO gas station is gone
 
           gone!

 


 

one baby & baby

it’s tree time!
I am without
 
the sporting news

on the final earth
 
on the famous earth
a northern idea
 
yurt head a
line

 


 

mortgage (dead pledge)

morning again
morning again
 
pink eye
pineal
 
blue &
here
 
morning again
