oh, renoir

nocturne communique/nocturnal e-mission
all the alcoholics
all the licks
of my life

black pearls
and white roses

textual relations/e-ruptions
the sky is saying "don't worry"
cuz i can write nicely if i try
blood vapor trails on a white couch
a blanket
(but not like a child)
hands like tree branches—
perched—
coiled wires and ash
i'm worried i'm getting burnt
on another plane
bird sounds
objects of desire
objets d'art
is this reaching an equilibrium?
caged
warm tiles
blue skies, golden wheat, and the company of good friends

haiku:
flashes of colour
walk away, mystery man
city sinister

---

the question is this:
is the pain getting less or are you jus getting used to it?

---

tiny exhalations and tiny exhilarations
wearing a t-shirt—tiny
ding of the bell
elevator to hell

give 'em the book to bide the time
and give me the time to bind him
these people don't want sex from me and hence are not interested (interesting?—this is the question)

no chocolate, jus cream
jus polite questions that mask money, honey
jus polite statements that mask queerness
til we're all awash in one great piss stream, torrential as adolescent pee

leveling the gutter and the sidewalk and the steps
whirling—the sensation of liquid
there will be no dancing tonight
but there will be tonight, dancing

drunken fools who never close their mouths
clothes moths
both eating holes
in my time fabric

step off the train
what we gonna watch
and who gonna say it?
the gift of gab, so different than when written

hold on to my shoulders
don't rest yr head there
i'm here not for yr comfort
but to brace yrself against for the comfort that will come after

yr welcome

looking at:
caught in the act - the full story
gloria gaynor - never can say goodbye
the grid system
hitRECord
how flowers conquered the world
monika
monkeys recognise bad grammar
self-help makes you feel worse
smart clothes could take photos
the truth alone will not set you free

listening to:
carl bean - i was born this way
chain and the gang
desire
loose shus - taurus
r.e.m. - harborcoat
sally shapiro - love in july
sin city circus ladies
skatt brothers - walk the night
south shore commission - free man
