the conversation, part 1

part one of four



how are you this evening?

ecstatic

i am very glad to hear that

you are very kind

why do you say that?

why should i not say that?

perhaps i did not express myself very well

why do you say that?

recently i read a very interesting book

what was it about?

high jinks

that sounds extremely interesting

it was just what the doctor ordered

do you have experience in this area?

all bets are off - save yourself and run for the hills!

i have already been saved - many times

have you been snatched from the lion's jaws?

in the most glorious fashion imaginable

i like all different types of music

so do i, especially if they are out of fashion

exactly why are you here?

because the night air fills me with regret

the night is young, so they say

perhaps we can continue this conversation somewhere else

that would be a zero sum game

virtue, they say, is out of fashion

these faded flowers





ur bouyt 5n jr lor my6 desw lo hyr e l op

your beautiful 5 nights, junior
with the 6 mystical mermaids
desiccate the windswept hyenas
with their eldritch lollipops of patriarchy

o ljh6 res n nirw kp uo ;;

outside in the lilacs it is 60 degrees
reserve your nude seats before the nihilists
irregardless of the reckless intent
of the whackos with their kantelopes of uranium

i had hoped to do better for you, uncle james
because you always treated cissie with respect
her geraniums and juggernauts were pissed away
by the heedress capitalists in their iron pajamas

you needn't bither seeing me out
"my way is set and can not now be altered"
cissie left a note in her well-thimbed copy of middlemarch
but creatures like us can only stand naked in the rain

bully for you

a found poem



adornment when you postulate
to pick up how disputes are handled
and the writer you be intimate

are merchandising is
unforced and gradual.
Always try that the mercantilism to your kit.

This is peculiarly bully
for jewellery day by day.
umteen men do not use your notation paper,

compare the compareprice
of the
commercial activity.

At the real topper prices
for bound holding,
you may foreplay same

the large-glistening check
or something a lesser medium
of exchange from you.

triple-crown computer network mercantilism
We already
mortal a slap-up way
to re-use few items
may not competition yours.

Get activity from them.
them In concept, you should be
human activity
