BLU-RAY RERUN

 

      Eye and nose- and mouth-less grey sky, “The

      eleven inch snowfalls in Montana...,” even with

      the screen talking back wanting to time-travel

      it back to potato-cook time in the sideyard next

      to our apartment building, drives out to Henry

      the Eight’s Tudorville envying the houses, yards,

      cars, “Some day....,” that came and went and

      the next generation’s ballet and soccer legs dance/lance

      through the door out into “Seeya soon” estate-planned

              hopefulness.

 

 

SOUBRETTE

 

          Soubretting it as long as we can,

          recycling the (unread) last few chapters

          of the Lennon-Starr-McCartney-Harrison

          cult(ural) meditation, remembering my

          uncle Jake banking it all day, but came

          sundown and pass the (les jambs / the legs)

          sax, ascending into a heaven of flesh

          plains, rains, mountains, until the number

              dawn re-rose.

SCRIPTURALIZE

 

          Scripturalize the Saturday morning chocolate

          cheesecake muffins and latté, the guy talking

          about company-taxes as if he were on FACE

          THE NATION, the lox and cream cheese              

          bagelists, sylphs and brawn, big game today

          against the U. of Mercury, the little (10)

          guy and his cranberry juice and bagel talking

          about last night’s basketball score (232) in

          Lansing Swamp Middle School’s battle with

          End of the Rope Central, how come mid-October’s

          not colder and how come so much sun, look

          at those green tights legs, sucking on her

          coffee, Waitress #23 six months away from

          finishing her nursing degree at Bloodluck

          Hospital, Bernadete looking like four hundred

          and twenty instead of her usual Civil War

          age.
