What Is It About Texas? »

   About love aloud

You quietly type

Sitting as moon behind a cloud.

   "Dallas, is that…. ?"

   "Houston, come in !"

That rocked launched, was it you ?

   And in your voyage,

      Travelling

 

Who were a million instruments

   All talking to?

As ranger

   You guard, I see,

      Orion’s Belt.

With something wonderful.

A light with the power of twelve stars

Where a million canyons join.

 

I sometimes see you

   In your electric chariot

     Adding word to word in ecstasy.

Could not mistake the mist a-making

         the drazzle blazing

               of cuckoo singing –

         

             for good Sunday people.

 

For good Sunday people, rejoice.

       And join your hands as cuckoo comes.

          Come sing, friends,

              while thoughts between each echo ring.

                And lips that purse have voice.

Good Sunday people, thank each spring.

   For what we gather, make us truly thankful;

     while around the tree we sing. Rejoice.

I shall bring you now by muted mouth

    To sacred text

Naked and extinguished.

I shall bring you now

    Either

    To the end of time

    Or new summit.

I shall bring you now

    To entertainment.

To boys

    Who take you up and
                                        Down

And around again

    In simulation

Until the music breaks.

    I shall take you now

Into a sea of ruin

    Where chaos
            Is computer-driven

And the cancer
    Has every tongue still

I shall bring you now

    To neither good nor evil

        But observation.

Running powerfully

   From Berne to Washington

The sound of tut tut and drumming.

Above, bells

for new marriage

between regulator and regulator.

Isn’t it wonderful

data correlated

to voice and nervous sinew

by young business school

as star crossed models

the new brothers

all names inter-twinned – winners.

Fooling millions.

Pure velocity, surges/rallies.

Suddenly last message reads:

           blame the Alternatives.

Default virgins »

With flag and acropolis,

   As animal spirits greeted us

The air shook,

  Sound mutinous,

A trade Med with Club dead.

  Some of this familiar.

Hurriedly, I put my ear to the ground

  To hear junk trembling.

Soon they would come,

  These default virgins

Bearing rotten olives

   Without demurring.

My beautiful trade »

    It was clear, blue, immobile.

Suddenly on command

    And quite snappy

In one direction and then another

   Straining at both illusion and shadow

It made me quite happy

   Getting directional

With every aspect of infinity

   A trade of itself

So pure

   I stayed up late

Uncorrelated to behaviour

  As he or she was

Or could be

   Possibly.
