1.     Conveyance

 

Then it wasn't  

a young woman

assisting with a car trip

was it? to Pacifica Radio and

 

I will strip

poems from a book

with his name on the cover

 

It's a hefty

road

to the station. The trail

ends above

freeways

 

We need streets

but, listen

the phones

loved in houses

none knew

 

 

2.     Print

 

A note with

t,o, i, e

and l for lite

toil to

toilette

let it be

 

a hoot

and a baby toy

a skein (after Creeley), a

wound of tiny paradise

 

a winding

pastoral

 

returns to a

canvas, through

which elephants

appeared, tilting people

forward 

 

 

3.     Frontal

 

Avow a game of compassion

if one thought follows

swiftly on another.

Why does this one

lead to alt-right Harvard post-docs?

 

Avow a game if one

compassion thought swiftly

on another followed

Does this one

lead right to

"Sorry,

 

a bad connection"?

Get your palimpsest

over here over there

Don these sandals my mother wore

in the Great Depression

 

 

4.     In-animator

 

This

tonality

is

female

finis

sin if

 

it's like

someone needs you

and you don't need

anything

it's fine

that way

 

A squiggle

below

the passion

plane

forages for uncensored

truth

 

 

5.     Self Portrait

 

My middle name is Ruth

This has nothing to do with

This has nothing to do with

This has nothing to do with myth
