Our Memories of Food & Ghoulies


piano for zoos & ghouls
dubbed most pellegrinist

capital eyes on the water
as it is under some goofy

cables & spires built around
this ocean or that one, look

you confound a thing not to be
on a blue paper that looks nice

with a heron with a sore throat
sing for it of cough medicine

o cold needles by teal green
water in the clubhouse of poets

a trattoria wing blue touches
this bumpy brown side of the library

we write poems that might be great
knock on wood if we can say great!

italicize & add gravy to mashed potatos
so aesthetic beneath so many lamps

a wavy horn rimmed sunset
I'm sorry to say "I like Dances

With Wolves" when I'm in this mood
and the dip is any color you want

and you want the streaming water
without its blubbering doggerel

that started to sound like Lorca
can one really start to sound like Lorca?

don't say duende to Jonathan Mayhew
it annoys him but I'm Swiss about it

with Gertrude Stein one gets the idea
and fruition (and fruit) of food

that is profound but beyond being
beyond any pictures or recollections

of Julian cabbage or Masala this
Masala that one thinks one is cheap

a lonely friend with left over m&m's
then Weldon Gardner Hunter's new poem

comes in and sits down like any poem should
it has Allen Ginsberg "trattoria blue"

Bird Flu Battleship Romance

Take pastorals, "take my wife"
finish up then close up my garage
Its noon on television Its Christmas on CNN
whiter than an important elbow

we have our hollyhocks to thank
for a creeping bird flu
sunk my battlship I won't
die of anything I know about

I admire forest rangers oh Dolly,
send a me scone thru the internet
My prose is increasing in slackness
I'm letting out enough rope to
channel the feelings people felt
during the 20's & 30's, I learned it
on late night PBS

the bird flu thought, "There's a whole
world out there I gotta see" We ran
like hell into a wall of good feeling

some animals recognized us
at the gate, I climbed into a
duller escape pod than was issued
by the commitee
