from Alphaville

Forget green hills,
I jaw.

Knotgrassed
lawn mowers

needle out,
paring quarry

roses, soft taxing
urgent violets.

When xenocrysts
yellow, zappy z-

lines yaw x-legs, west--
vexing undertows

to sunsets,
ripening quietus.

Passages
of new moonlight

lick kudzu jiggers.
I hear glass

fish, erasing
downriver, coal

black, aswarm
A blackbird calls

duskward, etching
frangible glitches.

Hanging in jackets,
kestrels lynch

mice, noosing
on parabolas.

“Thorazine smiles
reveal qualities previously

outside new maths.”
lectured Kepler.

Joining in hallowed
gallows funnies.

Einstein declared,
“Can bloody arts

and barren crafts
divine enclitic facts?”

Galileo howled,
“I’m junkyard kinky!

Living minky!
Noodle our pinkies!
