thumps of shadow give way to the flim flam
of dereliction the hurly-burly
of the surface faces its slit and finds another surface
a boy with a bat swings at a clump of shade

progress is process and not
the other way around
sound of a beam of light
installing the stalactite
long hair and a sword on the inside
*ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚ *ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚ *
finally the first are last and the last first
but if it is so then it is so
you are an oven of ash if you say so
but if you say so I must know
what to include what to leave out
which moon to choose if I do choose
to install the animal sign

forward only forward enough that these words the only words
seem
a mushroom walking a dog this nation the only nation absent
as the victims it puts forward forward the victimΥs name and
address
now that the floorboards have come off dancing, concern
is not anyway music the absence becomes gradually less
frayed
the afraid become exactly as absent as what was taught to
occupy the victim
of the matter to what manner is first

a picture is formed of pictures smaller than the eye it is
not
a behaving as if
belief is required
head and shoulders scattered across a weak uptrend
wooden lips
do not attempt
them rare surprises
the floorboards come off
the uptrend is yours the picture is a breaking of the trend
the giants must be adjusted to accommodate the retracement
ofΚ
small reversals often confirmed
by what to some is a three box reversal
in color, pain and other moving averages but plotted in
behavior the eye behaves
paint peeling off the mangy hills we have come to a page
where all we have done is raise the question of the page
Κ
space fights the uptick in the downtrend the rest is one day
only
we do as we please
