Vision
-Couldn’t sleep last night, so I
studied the shadows on the wall
and ceiling.
-Mysterious!
-Just the single nightlight in a floor
socket, thus they’re huge!
-Great! Intriguing!
-So...I puzzled out...that’s a bookcase,
that’s an inner shutter, and that’s…
-Long story short?
-I could draw you a detailed diagram
right now! Case utterly solved!
-You have taken mystery and turned
it into you?
-I suppose.
-Longer I live, more I’m cheated!
-Sorry! Next time I’ll leave half
undone! My usual half-ass!
-Leave something!
-What gods get angry if I don’t?
-All of them!

Death of Our Neighborhood’s Beloved
Prostitute.
Fat undertaker and rail
assistant ease bagged
you down frail,
narrow stairs and in-
to slashing geometrics
of sun and shadow.
Nothing
opens up, but
resists with-
in blue shards. So,
they rough you in-
to bright hearse,
and away, leav-
ing splintered
space to close
in tight and terse.

Casino Physics
Light-Shade-Friction
"Just a matter of staying
in the shadows," explicates
Carmichael, inventor keen
as Edison & slot thief,
re ducking spycams as he
jimmied new-tech machines
with his too-weird devices. Casinos
pruned him finally, out of umbrage.
In the verge where sparks dis-
charge from the so-rubbing
pantyhose of waitresses!

No darkness anywhere.
Grandpa puts hood on head.
When Coordinators question,
Fuck you! Muffled, but
shameful nonetheless.
