PURPOSE BUILT

exciting opportunity
a subdivision
things I’ve had
burned off me
or otherwise
beside a highway
immaculate frontages
this dewdrop world
takes place inside
an avocado universe
so there’s that
there’s a power plant
an access road
a service entrance
(already planning
the next one)
there are clouds
behind the wires
there’s an aisle
thru the forest
running cables
down a current
and there’s a web
which is a net
drying out
along a beach
there’s a spider
going shopping
for a new home
for its family
there’s a puddle
collected on top
of the air pump
eating quarters
at the gas station
where we are
there are tires
it is autumn
I’ve lost the thread
of what I’m needing
can you feel
the shore receding
gradual slip
of air entreating
peep some lungs
which once were
breathing
bags inflated
pair of container
ships appearing
at the cloudline
commence
a fog
a meeting
light diffuses
to your chair
sinks enmeshed
polyester there
aluminum scaffolding
skeletoned against
a trillion granules
the elements
shotgunning
one
for the fun
for the hell
for the sun
not the shell
of a shell
depleting
coppertoned against
distant forces
radiations
forevers ago
the pains
from far away
fizzle into the blink
toward more and ever
more possible extensions
while we’re here
we might as well
employ a strategy
search the codex toward
more and more ex
-emptions
stay blooperprone
do sonic wrongs
airborne refueling
a hopeful song
just give ’em a wink!
the old what-for!
boot and rally
the sun is a bomb
