Complex Social Structure

Boil water
pour it over

the idea of war

rises
through sinuses


            *

Driving through fog
with dog
in the back
of the pickup

“songs of love and songs of death”

open window
songs that bark

at trees

fog lifting
leaves


            *

Hot shower
the hour

friendly fire

wipe tile

crawl
enormity

back to sleep


            *

Afterthought rains
mud brains

“If I get back home . . .”

NOISE BOT

BUSTED TEES

homo sapiens
knees


            *

Roof, roof

regarded

as dependent upon culture


            *

On top of a
twig

twirling between
fingers

the little green
bud

more brown


            *

Bumper sticker
shock and awe

YOUR VOTE COUNTS

What?

like bodies


            *

REAL MEN
WIPE THEIR ASS WITH BARK

FUCK ME IF I'M WRONG
babe


            *

Lift the tea bag
from the mug

the idea of war

pressed
in sunken chest


            *

Turn on Angel

turn out light

watch
and forget

someone else
will write
