TRANSMISSION 04
(Oaths Borrowing Heavily From Other Roman Writers)

The many the general populace forced
to move chatting that it was inconvenience

more than my entire adult


life has been an attempt at.

TRANSMISSION 17
(Letter to Zem)

The white poppy port
Earl Harold's hand
held over a scroll fired
a long thick stream
casually crossing
out all of the ladies
and gentlemen ghost
graphs of the weaker
forum wear nothing
blood nothing he hands
them up around his back
yelling obscure obscene
and equivocal instructions
that sound like water.

TRANSMISSION 36
(The horses and pretty Anglo-Saxons)

Wooden blocks made to look
like sheets of ice Niagara Falls
was taken and reinserted some
people from this dream could
as bachelor-logic will
is there really any harm in that
inquired the girl an insulting
way to describe the way
these stamps remain unstamped
"my father's house is larger
than yours" what house
what land stuffing the chicken
together when does love enjoy
each head? take the opinion
as to whether or not it was
an accident in the Bear Hunt
January takes a space and you
encouraged the trainer she
was there but that day there
was no waterfall available

TRANSMISSION 42
(Another Absinthe Avalanche)

To leave slack in the couplings
between each Sir John Barleycorn
Yes! for all you can so sick
and tearing treaties for shadow
boxers and we laughed dumping
good the motto for Kansas
created with tin caps and mongoose
bones so that the locomotive can
start ahead with the least
to overcome a technician
who worked opened mouths to suck
in the solid water through PVC
piping employing the doctors
the doctors beckon them
into the rooms bag pipes
and the Nineteen-Eighteen
Detroit Americans

TRANSMISSION 61
(Another Autumn)

Thanks enough for the ill equipped
as they were the truth he seeks
in the impact of the good book
(but I found a canvas neck in the hole)
you fell into afflictions and disappointments
the principle street of the village
is parallel to the railroad

Explaining the perils that attend
him at the same time every single day
an awkward question of privilege arising
live up to their tune enjoy the music
as he lay behind her house tossing
cards smoking as I have
this is actually the very place
where the sandwich lives

TRANSMISSION 72
(Solar Memory)

Those who cannot swim or couple
green and red you just moved along
allowing the boy to watch
corroded was a statement of fact
because he does not Incubus
he abuses an affair with Skip
jealous wrestling I was looking down
at the floor and for now across the aisle
getting more and more nervous
complicated signs that one
will be in charge of the rescue effort
if I were a millionaire I'd need a mind
after sparing ministrations because
several boyfriends heads in the
bathroom window downstairs.

TRANSMISSION 76
(The Star-Gazer or the Appointed Hat)

Much finer than the ordinary
freedom a serf's promise of liberty
to direct traffic I wish to stay in her
palm bed thinking no more of Juju
a bowl comes home organs to cover
the bed in night song and quietly
observe through the star holes
‹I could see an eye I came
to the opinion that safety ambassadors
dildo invented animals giraffes and rhinos
we think we hippo-understand
a warm munch of thinking
example: music should be optional
the demons hollering some indirect
directions in my pig calls.

TRANSMISSION 83
(Champagne X: FBI and the On Purpose Mind Book of Ways to Die)

Lo! the zings to the mouth
my one out of many stood
about weather and picked
blackberry pudding & sir
with a toasting fork
I never speak
that you are in love
and I am Tarzan
in a series...that odd story
about the dog's
size? What were you
thinking? white shorts
to my mind that he never
could ring the gentlemen's
hand in kisses as much as
this Chinese Box is #1
that is not a recreation
it is a title horned vipers
and destruction garages
minutes before short waves
swung me out and down

TRANSMISSION 91
(Remember Animals Speak for Envisioning the Last Best Parallel)

Bowels were taken out and I
said the subject of the first essay
is over an empty space in the tall timbers
where you can hear the trees
talking people live up there
you said though soon enough
you will not get the spill of trying
out lips she is true when the red
is on top of me against her
you and I in bed then through
already having had my supper
and the next time my entertainment
show how little we know about each
other my attention was attracted
by a door which every now
and then opened and a nurse walked
noiselessly in and out emerging cleaned
before I pull shoulder slides
collapsing the relationship is more:

   o your food o whale your food o

TRANSMISSION 98
(The World is Judged by its Socks)

The word barn

Which is correct burnsides or sideburns

Wanted the enter end of the briefcase

The heads were skulls more typing
hands tailing loot slipped my worrisome
lost fond adventures will the tongues
go shopping? this is the way to go
to difficulty inside the mango tree
considerable credit cards shredded
wheat the term mush applied to dogs
I was with my head am leaving
the world for the world.
