TOWARD A DEMOGRAPHIX OF MAN, IT’S BULLSHIT, EVENTUAL UNREPRESEENTATION

Man shur make money but man shur fight man funny.
Mean.       Average as dayglo gon along under awning.
Yawning.                Chatteringly; having had mattered
blackly.            & who?
                                        in this economé, mines
my having gone diet-denial in the face? Gun black tea
totalizing progenitors of unstable light?
                                                                      Whatever. What
ever, aight?. I do my talking 2xice nice, as, like, Lizzie B.,
all right? But don’t like the waiting room’s spittoon; dark
mirror shapéd wound or how the dogs never come on 1st
or 2nd or how they bark before I’m before them
                                             & it’s always scary as I reckon.







TONY IS BAD COMPANION IN DREAM ABOUT LIBRATORY POSSIBILITIES (& FAILURES) OF FALLOUT 41

The wholass skeleton of a thing     in 
The wholass skeleton of a thing     Desolate,

                                                             but safe,
Tony, safe. Yes, Tony, you—

oh Tony,
don’t fuck with me.

You are warm.

You are ideologically validated,
challenged, even. 

Tony,

you are getting

very
very

sleepy. Tony, why haven’t you woken up? Tony you are not woke enough. Half of that car holds me to the Earth

& we like the Earth, don’t we, Tony? Tony,don’twe? Remember, Tony?so                sosorryTony,  
   
Tony,                           I don’t mean    to yell,       but,            what you’ve done to me

is a garden                    & I asked                     only          to see  

the clearing,
a meadow.
