Barcode

some other book a life with lists
to serialize men of extreme
tendencies for lightning chess
downward on glass spines
on condition of brave attraction
of unauthorized reproductions
left with cracked spells
and puppyminded chances
in utter absence of event
this holiday of indistinguishables
aboard a new vessel for treason
to be a tracker without a country
comes storyless, this regifting
in a misunderstanding of disciples

Life During Wartime

on the bench this day ends
last train next to an old german
with drums & that last life
in wind through ponderosas
speaking of ancestor worship
don’t ever call me that again
stationed in closed ear transit
or answer in agreements
this horse drawn by committee
in pairs who needs a career
with this fast draw & trivia
we sky dive into hard evidence
meant to drink at song titles
i mean you no harm
