Dinner at SixDinner. Dinner at six. Dinner at house, dinner in telephone wires spinning to the stove. Electrical wires, live wires cut behind the stove spitting sparks. Heat - heat spinning in perfect circles, circling under the stove, licking sides of the meat inside.Dinner at Six
Dinner. Dinner at six. Dinner at my house: steak, cow steak, buffalo steak, stake through the heart of our relationship. St[eak/ake] in the oven popping and sizzling and spitting in our eyes. Cooking - rare, medium-rare, medium:

cobwebsSometimes the cobwebs in my mind talk. Spiders creep up the grandfather clock ticking one second off.cobwebs
Tickled legs track the path of mathematical pendants back and forth, breaching infinity's bounds twice each second. A gray mesh folds to fit.

the finger is mine. slips are the air's first in breath, then land and belong to whoever's present.


Two HobosOne sits near a wall and counts his coins with fingers made of skin and joints. when an Upperclass passes by he begs change for a nickel/ change for his life/ change for a change.Two Hobos
The other sleeps close to the street. His toes skim the top of muddled water and they believe the gutter is the ocean.
He is brok-en-rich: when cars whisk by, the draft hits his face and he pretends he can breathe.


ExaroPsychosomatic, a simple grammatic prophylactic rhapsody in blue-- arms quaking, bones shaking the space between one/two/one/two numb hands thrumming one loud, unending beat.Exaro
Polymorphic mobiles dance naked, so many stars against the vacant expanse of space/time/space/time folding the unfolding words into hijacked, weeping rhyme-- elementary emphatic symbols struggling to implant it in the stone cold static.


LucastaThere are empty spaces I fall into, silences between folded sheets of music and billets-doux, in the yawn of a piano I do not play.Lucasta
The house surrenders to a phantom air that sinks into all the notes of insects in an empty parlor, into sheets red with the apparition of wine, corpus sanguineum. But the doves have lost their voices. I take long walks up and down country roads to catch insects and dry leaves. The house is always quiet but for the cicadas.

Happiness, by
The Interview, by
Rusting Bridges of Suburbia, by
So, I did some peruzing, and earthed up these three pieces.
Happiness is beautiful in its own simplicity, and has a subtle kick to it that I find lacking in a lot of reading these days.
The Interview is an interesting little for-the-stage piece that I found myself cracking up over, all over the place. There's some great humor and dialogue going on here, as well as some great subtle toss-ins for the actors to experiment with. Something I would love to see performed.
While Rusting Bridges of Suburbia might be a little ho-hum subject-wise, the rhythm and control of meter that ~ honestbrutality has accomplished here is impeccable. It takes a lot of practice and a lot of control of vocabulary to get a good rhythm in a slam piece these days, and it's done beautifully here.
Get writing, fuckos. *jesusbite
