TWO POEMS



ANOMIE

The transformer sparks spook

the eunuch horse hauling a kid

consigned to Christian camp.

The renegade piece of Skylab

fires an omnidimensional arrow

on a gravel Babylonian byway.

The shepherd minds his flock

inside a cloverleaf interchange.

The wolves watch Windstars

smoking witless, the bluegrass.




CONQUISTADORS OF THE USELESS

I trade my entire tooth collection

for a vat of industrial Minoxidil.

Our empty conch shells crumble

inside a damp, blue-jean bivouac

on an avalanche-swept sofa bed.

We'll lapdance at the May cotillion

when the tombstones lapse the pool.

We’ll hate in life and love after life.
