Fred

this is the fall of troy, like olive oil, like a plague of frogs, like a bursting boil,
like a sodden fog stretching its leprous hands, porous veins
this is a sordid fable, disordered, mottled brown and taking on water,
an altar to an tar pit overgrown with dust, lurking in memory
in reverie, in the clever corners of history this is a lever to the new world
a bridge over the supernova and apocalypse, over the collapse, paved with
stone and blood and the grime of years and yearnings this is simpler than time itself
standing alone and unmoving and undevoured by fate and argument 
this is an anvil of glass, the impossible and the inevitable, the end of explanations
the thing itself

Things That Are Fired

Fred

The following things need to pack up their things and get out, for they are fired effective immediately, and no we do not wish them good luck in their next ventures and business opportunities.

Potholes, for ruining formerly smooth roads.
Formerly smooth roads, for not standing up for themselves.
Cars, for consorting with potholes and formerly smooth roads.
Twitter, for being constantly down.
Michael Jackson, George Lucas, and Harrison Ford, for misplacing their talent.
Miley Cyrus, Keanu Reeves, and Hansen, for never having any talent.
Taurine and guanine, for not conspiring to give me huge muscular tentacles and superpowers.
Botts dots, for consorting with cars and formerly smooth roads.
Not dating, for being too arrogant to drop the "not".
Dating, for not collaborating with enough people.
Muslin, for being too flammable.
Muslims, for sounding too much like muslin.
CERN, preemptively fired for destroying the world on Wednesday, since we won't have the chance to fire them after the world has ended.
Drew, because he was pretty much asking for it.
The internet, for being too dang big.
Aspartame, for being so fake and artificial all the time.

a text message poem in three parts, transcribed from twitter

DrewTM

For whom shall the man breathe,
broken and empty in a world of beauty?
So to the night,
to the world he moves.

For whom shall the heart beat in the passing lonely air?
For we taste union yet with none
but the quiet one
whom the tender crickets extol.

For what shall we open our eyes
if the lids withhold
only smoke? And mirrors cannot either
fulfill such hungry vision.

Unfinished #3

Fred

The paths govern themselves, hemmed in with brick and lace.
The details are sopping sweet with molasses and syrup
and I have turned the nails and hammered the screws down,
for this dream must be seamless and airtight.

There are fingernails in wheelbarrows, singed eyebrows by the bushel,
abandoned in trains of thought sitting rusted in prairies.

There are whole pieces of flesh missing from the earth,
chunks simply cut out and removed, gashes dripping
with lava mixed with oil, tectonic entrails, the middle of things broken.

I wish for an honest sunset and a humble darkness.

At the climax of any libretto, I always hold my breath,
because I feel as though it is an apocalypse in minature,
at least to me, something incomprehensible and old
and dying in the next instant, an  machine
churning and quavering to a stop.

The threat on the air is almost acrid, the bitterness
the bitterness of old medicines and home remedies,
the bars and walls and chains I have installed here.

For an instant, escape is in my hand and on my lips,
until I realize that this is all hypothetical and rhetorical,
that I am only a metaphor for something else
something essential and luminous and altogether present.

I apologize for none of it
not for anything
