one person one
powerful jungle one
pair of shoes
one age
one youth
one pastel saddle
transparent nipple tassels
elicit laughter
one afternoon
the lock groove
own a rhythm
a laugh
a lifeline
one circus of eruptions
one wrestles one
stoke the fire
lay down to breed
beneath the shelter of a blanket
for the first time
take in air
sustenance
sunshine
Fruit, flower and drug staple time or another intimate soiree
Each guest starts out, several are stopped by ventures far field,
for brief perverse moment as precious as gold
Corporate engineers are reinventing love
Traveling history we paddle a canoe
hoping our relationships complexity through mythologies lance
is read as philosophy and memoir
Man and nature telling ourselves what we call time
has gazed across the gulf of shame
Even when the tenor changes the gulf remains
The old heroic man emerges
with the pathetic fallacy- environmental morality
pays for transgressions, usually in coin
Disaster can’t shake how different aims
put us in the reciprocal web of hope
Clothes, covers, when you look
the little road won’t appear so alien and intimate
Reciprocal design desires your bees and genius
reckless, remarkably, or self-conscious at the mirror
May afternoon suddenly appear
with manifold delights
The tung so innocent acting on me
getting me to happen
Looking beyond place
the same upside down book
attempts the story- human
desires link destiny
Unconventional domestication
is something we do
something certain animals have done
Some ancestors mastered 10,000 emotions
values which fold a sophisticated genome
Success surprising the tulip and the frog
Rich archives of DNA like sabers
changing beauty
Wild cousins prize wolves
We figure how to heal, clothe,
intoxicate, and otherwise elate
We learn a great trick,
ordinary credit- true volumes
of enteric sets turning people
into bees
The toxic, unprepossessing,
business of remaking us
All the people give time and knowledge
Privilege and pleasure imagine trust
I should be riding indispensable friendship
ear and eye morphed of gratitude
Errors remain heartfelt
Patience, humor and love,
seeds selling pleasant odes
Olfactory work- plenty of vibrating bees X a stench of human beings
We garden and stumble
A laughable afternoon disseminating genes
Species fingering our sovereign prerogative- thrive and charge
The long chain, engineers, breeders, days,
grammar makes this perfectly clear
Choose, call, harvest, divide
subjects
Afternoon wondering at a bum plundering for nectar
A self-serving conceit
Failure flowers manipulate the ancient coeval Lucian
A bargain struck to advance trading ethers
in genes consciousnesses means
Matter realized partners in the birth of years
Form and sent selected countless generations
Size and taste selected Inkas and Irishmen ordering french fries
Man’s criteria: symmetry and sweetness, heft and nutrition
Fact has become aware of indifference to the flower taking part in every being
Trial and error found the best way to induce matter- by playing
Whether we care about making copies
flowers manage to choose the exact moment seduced off it’s knobby charms
Trivial semiconscious evolution insists- infinity, events, a particular evening counts them
NEROLI for my one and only Jane
lost echo
an arching sigh
Segments of citrus
your love is mine
I trace a helix over your sleeping eye
The tips of a trident
lift me
I float on my back
my arms spread wide
as we course out to sea
beseeching eternity

I lay my hands over the most painful spots
healing
healing a healing body
let me be a sea
then help me from the water
this grinding figure
all those eggs
phantoms for a page
I blow my brain
to bliss
I turn away
to save you from my face
I’m sorry
this is so
seemingly incessant
I’m desperate to serve
myself
An anthropological world view
constructed as follows
A. Biological filter
C. Individual filter B. Cultural filter
as a diagram, each of these filters
would be represented by three intersecting circles
Apparently our holistic world view
is this tiny- unnamed protuberant convex triangle shape
(tiny compared to the size of the diagram)
and I know all triangles are convex
but were talking curved sides
and even if the diagram were to be enormous the ratio
of a person
(who would be represented by a larger circle
around the three inner circles)
to their operating system presents some seemingly
un-winning odds.
And I know it’s a teaching tool and that’s
admirable. It helped me grasp the
concept but its worth looking at
discrepancy
Lacan’s subject object model— Freud’s divided self with language added
these concepts have been incredibly helpful and painful to understand— me.
I wonder what heart ache I may have avoided if presented w/ a model of a
un-severed phyche. What would it look like— me; flesh, water, bone. I’ll keep
thinking on pain as pedagogy and a divided self built with a wisdom-pain
dialectic. I’ll feel out a pedagogy of love model.
If I could do something about the atrocities people commit
Stop all violence
quiet down
whisper
quite down
fear
hear now here
comfy red fear
we’ll feel it in increments
