1.

Looking for the unobstructed view

a man with glasses and a chair-like stick

untainted by settled heavier blueness

a child reaches out to a chess-man

I retell myself as coffee comes onto me

nothing in the world matters more than each other

but I kick against you & hold like two dots

an airbrush’s idea of human hair

independent sail you have no tact

knitting your own fingers in black

crocodile won’t apologise cat-eyed nor change

cardboard harassing paper in the street

three middle-blue squares pay the cheque

half the air is birds

 

 

 

2.

Crossed out wait for me

I’m a dinosaur at the end of your arm

the crinkled brick subtracted us

Blotches and of a piece

near the trolley bars return key

Ford canvassing a star

you shoot a pipe from your arm

to which I held neither piece

gamble on this tracking away

into a bitter railway identity me

if it blinked like a key

it is a star
