somewhat of a backlog, and even now, here in my office with internet, WITHOUT MILK FOR COFFEE, hmmm.

these relate to my reading Jocelyn Saidenberg's Mortal City, another of the molding books

in order to
only to (the unlikely)

*

when a gun is exchanged for another gun,
- they are compared
- they are different elements of the same collection of guns collected by a collector

substitute "discharge" for "collect"

*

things don't know they are dead
the order of things
things only (after music)

*

the plage is the place,
streets are strands

"think reno. think monaco."

*

weakness is strength
collapse is next

*

we are surrounded by clouds of he, she, it
is, am, be

it sounded like dongs or rats and birds of prey were unsuccessfully murdering
the way it sounds when you don't know exactly where the outside light switch is

ornamental bromeliad landscaping,
the brightest foliage chosen, yellow edged with red,
scalloped hot pink like a fleshy rose, deep purple and green in combination

pussywillow, forsythia in Spring.

limp dahlias, camillias, stems
rotting int he flower-water

ringing the cheap deal table
now littered with pollen.

leaves,
trees indoors,
a piece, if not fussed over.

these plants are open.
also open, these rooms.

acid carves
diamonds carve
glass
what are you whispering to me

out in the rain

writers seem incapable of recording the natural world unless occidentally, intuitively

why would a scientist make literature of it?
this is the division most direct, the only division

rampant native plants
rampage
