In the closet is a vacuum,

that sucker is a considered a prized possession.

I've crawled
just for knuckles,

Gathered a uniform
to outfit the crevices of young lung-legs

Hung around carrying cake,
no fork.

Then, a sick-dry
Catched
the old California shrub

Widowed some plexiglas stuff,
made a blue that just looks at you.

O fake Venus of Palo Alto!

He gave me a beautiful old car,
Said never, ever for driving.

the photographs are
a dusty mirror
hard-of-hearing
dyslexia he say
false positive
false omen
peer pressure
deleted-msgs
dreams
half-dreams
love drubk
invincible feeling
youth-on-this
optical illusions
delusions-of-this
lost-ness,
blindness,
eye-talk.
glasses get broken
hot pepper in tear duct,
inflate disguise,
supreme plays
no-axes.
practical jokes
communi-ca-tions
dropped calls
-notes-
hair-care
typos.
said-in-light-,
aha, pierced you.

There's the way you move,
and the way I move along the echo train.

Two things.
The plan: I am going to kiss your ass.

Eyeing your silky shirt
and your butterfly net,

Girl's done a seagull
for the naughty thought,
right around the corner
wrecked by dogs.
