Snake

 Snakes have it wrong and it's their own damn fault. They should have normal arms and legs--the full bloom of logical spirit--and try to be agreeable, not writhing. Snakes should smile more with glad hand, would that hurt? Could they avoid being underfoot, laying in wait, as all waiting waits for you. They bring timor mortis to tried time. Maybe keep venom and fangs to themselves, they overplay that card. You can see snakes lack basic human culture. Sound the register: snakes unhinge jaws to accommodate huge smackerels of prey, they mate in knotty tangles worse than your own, they leaven the stories of wormy deceit. Snakes can be fathomed by fear, an ancient unforgettable human trait. Cold blood exacts liability, like who you are is what you fear, even in sunlight. Every town knows its snakes in strange whiplike commotion. Dun-coloured parliamentarian contortions of snake manage fear and ostracism with nagging twist. The righteous shall clutch hard the plummeting wagon of gosh. Nightmares dreamt by active imagination and spirit of occult produces myth and misses. Snakes reside somewhere in you, the hidden reptile you. Your normalcy holds back the tides, tho the tides may as easily disagree. Walk barefoot and the landscape bites, ever and always in your mind.

Words

  From the thing itself, beyond seasoned aptness. Life is like living but blurred by you were listening. Aspect ratio telemetry in myriad languages smooth as rocks approaches time to look. Words piece together things or things find words. Endlessness is a choice, written big in words as shiny as geese. Words simply take the time in radiation and radical point. Stein wrote the heft of nothing special, start there or whatever. You can slowly adjust the franchise, commodity's inner workings. Subglacial quips, subliminal washouts, frantic azure in the breeze of frosty Friday: these special sparking hallways slyly enjoin. Maybe you read too much into reading too much. Further on is where you’ll stay.

A Child’s Proletariat Garden

  The work becomes chiding of sunlight. The work is elegy and shaded. The principle ciphers as a god, in the way transience is purpose. Transience works this brief, ending fields, making trees concern. The hell of halting midway identifies the work of burning thru. Forever makes a sign. Sign makes worthy. Indeed the tramp of feet forward concludes any sentences but suggests more. Long sentences, stupid words. The caroling heard by Dante, brilliantine remorse for a better tide. The long road up from down, and turned around. The work then becomes the work now, as stained glass similitude. Anxious in the class structure of catastrophe, the baying song over all. Nothing to do but be done. Ruskin gave you papers to remind you. Slow battering concedes the earth in time. Time being functional and oblique. The worker inside sees the nation by exhalation. Transitive connection sports of culture. The class that ends becomes the class that begins, both left and right.

A Screed Left Town

  Inside the excuse for nation: leafy tractors (any bonding to the brownness of earth will do). A day’s march from the next day’s march, the love amongst us on a map. The map shows citadel, city in a dell, and abounding fields. The trees have effort to contend with. Bears chuff to excess in a workfarm spring. Something tall rises on the plain. Mills confirm the need for rivers. Troops stop where the food is. Terror provides the function for non-terror, in zones described as war-like. Pictures become words for people sighing. One sees a lack of food, or especial jewels, or the need for frocks made from bison. Another tower seems important for a nation’s existence, one taller than might. It will seem like tradition. You and I are left to explain.
