nuclear

another untouched body heated cold
as the announcer's laugh raises
the ratings as eyes turn
inward the chorus is nervous
part of an absent tragedy sings
of absence and white gardenias' edgings
gather in the desert at the crowd's
edge it never worked before
never seeing below the skin worn bones
protrude in high style becoming
stylish and largesse is a satellite
or a star spitting out diamond edges
the beginning continues and gazes
at itself and begins a breach
of etiquette destroys a white
quality we are amazed




hives

gray and maroon trucks pick
up the tone. of bright red
words selling. selling more.
silver plastic lining
I am reproductive and need
more. concrete metal desire sky
plastic drives my car. a sleek
rendition of psalms
the good have it all flattened.
the interpretation means only
on thing a lovely
life of thought.
let them out even though
they wear american made
in mexico. our dearest worker
bees will insert more honey
and we will destroy the hive
more efficient bright red. petroleum
products bear a sterile moon.
