REGISTERED AS THE OTHER

I awoke still registered as the other when my bivouac collapsed under my weight off in the terrain of mistaken glow in the dark play things

drawn off my shelter to the unyielding jungle of pines

a bug could have crunched under foot of snow

why it must have been a hundred the day I rolled up my trousers past my kneecap farther than most decent gents and was caught off guard by gonzales when it said sure sign of rain yessir

I sensed a dilemma

change was coming over me

clinging to long lost perceptions I gestured to the nearest plum withholding reaction time as I once again noticed the soaring height of the peaks and the rapidly expanding width of the channel gutted effortlessly in a niche chiseled with reckless abandon and spontaneous planning that has now been told

MARK MY WORDS

to some extent that’s true

there is a fly doing the double in my triple anyhow cow jumped over the moon over my hammy right into my cup of wonton soup served with a pinch of

tossed diagonally over my shoulder between points b and a and stopping off in between to read a downstream newspaper that craves a bite of a mcburger of some distinction

mark my words in cucumber language traceable only with an antennae found in remote areas of gravity

itching like a knat or a no see um that can fit through the screen of the tv and burrow into your skin with a goal of a compromise between both sides of the story

book issue do you need a kleenex or a game of table tennis

REMEMBER TO SET THE CLOCK

the shortest distance between 24 hours is the point where you cross that barrier and leave it all behind you

for the next five minutes

upon ordinary way of looking at things

from a different perspective

upon reflection at the idea of knowing once and for all that your replacement adjectives cause quite a stir up and down the eastern skyward range of being of perfect tone and potent

remember to set the clock

if you can do such a thing in keeping with the schedule put forth to try and stub your toe in whitewater between stretches of tranquility mixed with moments of serenity and nixed by omens

called upon by legendary hustlers who rustled up their doo-dads and sat in the same chair for seven different days of jubilant free wheeling adjusted

collide freely in open terrain

KNOWING BETTER

a necessary evil spelling error joined together in an effort to recollect the events of the past 27 hours chock full of minutes filled with seconds of merciful

train your ear on the glow in the dark and do something or other than this for pete’s sake

take notes

sit at your computer

edit these tidbits of knowing better than the loud unspoken idiom of centuries of granular salt blocks which have migrated towards

for eons the cows have roamed freely all along the road but they did give them a bracelet which allowed them to do so casually yet with an underlying sense of fast paced discovery

hovering in the balance of sideways reimbursements who rented life jackets to remain a main stay in the section that can’t slow down to say hey kid what ya been doing down at anyhow’s it going

POWER SOURCES

today’s subject power sources is

a stick some would consider it a broom and I also find power in a coin pronounced coin if I must

anything of deep personal or invented meaning can be one

for instance I am consulting my

one of them

the primary one

right now it is essential to assign a level of seniority or dominance

beware of imposters

these are thick with evil and doom

if you lose your uhh

THE EDGE OF THE PAGE

it’s difficult to remove all thoughts in the beginning

at this point the words which are merely assembled letters that follow each other in successive fashion may have a game plan or two

but at the moment it is fun to turn on a dime and go in another direction

the only problem is that the original game plan may have been more apropos but by now the idea is long gone or at least such an evolved form of the thought that it is almost unnecessary to go that close to the edge of the page so that your print slips off into the canyon between today and tomorrow and gets into a crystallized form of rock and stone which attracts so many tourists to its caverns and caves each autumn

but must we worry about that at this precise down under the fall down of a triumphant seen through to its fruition

THE BLUE PEN PERIOD

in the spirit slash tradition of the blue pen period I’d like to take a few and recount the meeting between this blind guy and this guy from the country when they both were introduced for the very first time on the back of a hay ride heading east on route 671 which is now known as

which leads down to a dude ranch

that is changing elements of reconstruction forming a great band of mutant farewellers in a legion of devout snouts and hog tied corn starch that all kinds of pests invested a dollar or two into a bug zapper

making me wonder what in the hell I confused this with

the trouble I had clarifying the structure of pre-established rigid framework of how it’s to be
