Pending
for Mike Magoolaghan
support
suppose
question mark
equivalence
moment
setting
toe to the line
waiting
to go where
but
no where present
no
course
but out the back window
no hand waving
no trust
for the podium
but
angles toward obsessions
spurs
pieces puzzling
dependent on my
plotting
sense in propulsion
charted; the decay
rapping
lecture
dim
nocturne of rote memory
in the pages of
who are you out there
I
am waving my hand
at peak of utterance
but
eagerness
declines in coil
a question
as question at
you
in ambiguity now
we walked to the library after the faculty club lunch
pleased
at opinions double held
is pitiful
to think so
will you anoint
so what
for me then
to fall
wonder
as if this weren't a threat
and these words tell nothing about it
hermetic
a dime in dust
citation
phenomenological
or hidden expressivist throat-clearing lyrical
to hrrumph attention this way
24 hours later
the move of a pawn is delivered on paper
a form
best of luck elsewhere
your move has been denied
taste is a habit
no longer are solutions unsolicited
no longer are solutions
perhaps
but shreds
paper waterlogged
a way out is all
investigate every door
house on fire
no amount of simple suffering will validate
thus
exits agonism
and no confusion over the root
cushioned
just sitting asks of you
survivor
unreliable witness
which
mask
souvenir on wall in faux porcelain
smiling
frowning
tossed out of the republic remember
emptiness is
is emptiness
if Socrates was a poet
question as closer to walk out on
final act
what other way
what
to cease grasping
a pound of sun
and lapping
waves to watch to riddle it out
tools
to break habits of thought
words
rations light
burn reserves
the house
everything
but one rock uphill
skipping toward the windmill
Goliath
two doorways share one door
explication
in explicables
telling it as with
footprints
painted on floor
a
lecture on dance among
