Rumors (press upstairs)

Gods, people







w/in a few weeks equipment

(indulgence, prohibition)







Out from poverty & also

back out of all this affluence







Killed by it

to other forms:





wild parties, stairway scenes

, horse-operas

We missed the Juan Pascoe talk last night, because San Antonio parking always wins, but I plan to catch the exhibit before it comes down. In the meantime, Miguel Tejada-Flores' post will keep us company.

Crooked, concrete actuality

probably misled us.





Nothing miserable: deaths,

react w/laughter





'Knowledge of

Affection,' still true





& magnetism passed over

(don't look so sad)





March belongs to relationship.

Both turn to shock

Specialty door,

its adages, Alps.





Whether b/c only

a few dim outlines,

the fortress itself





—Because I did not

turn to luck

b/w the entrance

"

That coastal few, happily bidding

on into some winding curve





From trying to bring it on now

(death, fucking mirageless)

for better than ninety pages





Phrases, not unordinary, same

turned-down corners, plastic coats,

illustrations of Indians





& trash (whites)—popular songs,

massive shock, true colors





Then maybe some fact—gunfire—

would even sound simple

Comfort ends w/me.

The life, their solitude.

Actually live in.





To that day I'm

b/w me are streets

I drag around w/me.





But there's my own form

Bitter algebraic declaration

(say everything at once)





But I'm writing which

Arab melody

A lot's traffic

Cross mind

Crossing legs





Doublecross the mind

Double yellow lines

Pass where broke





Triple cross

Coda in english

Brights
