tiny spiders tend the fires

in the language of ants

and centipedes

each little leg

a telegram

argentinian writer quoting

ferlinghetti

muttering the drunk

aim is taking a nap and dreaming of the day when i will once again have internet aside from at work, but these late night poems you and i are writing still, though on the backs of eyelids and trash cans with well-worn crayons we crave a little more each day we drive two blocks for the ability to say, "i'm lost." we talk, we move, chas. MOUNTAINS MOVE. you are a mountain that never fails to inspire me. do not miss, for there is no "this" only the blissful little tape hiss of that snake charmer farmland moon soon soon soon is not NOW, it is NOW, is not NOW, it is NOW. you see. one with the two of you and me. bad english. love. night.
