The I(s) I Follow After

I will not democracy churches conjecture
I pornography circa 1930 mockery
the bird I (pornography) usually suspect
dustbowl I situate o, love I imitate(or)
automatic I pepto-bismol I
junction boobs of new country I
laminate I New Jersey I, I
sensual topical bloom
I double-parked yoga live
grammatical attachment I office
I too numerous too non-union I life-
lessly convene I abstract mass
adulterous subject I promising water deficiency
I witness prison language I advances
western I p.s. represent misanthropic I
mid-century I nepotism I lost cause
I necessitate the point of impact I polygraph

II.

but will make 500 salads
Venetian blinds style
by their highly sophisticated
physical dossier
can term a period
liminal cocktail hour
risk the ladies…does the day
need less nature less catastrophe

strobes lightless primal
hour on forestry grounds gorged
cutbacks of vision…at land
i.e. an impression ad infinitum

does transistor radio negate

sport incognito

view the Hudson River free
of mid-century grasses and switch
monopoly of limited dangers
face the irrelevance

during her delivery
giving onto empty space
homogenous sobriety


III.

honor sprigs for fondish creature

I contest the alphany, the hydroxy

open legion of countenances
placidly worn I hunger
beyond average mind, my capacity
railroad blazon, etc.

I made nothing of the obstacles, a glass owl
transposing grass in minimal landscape
the sage centuries bloom

& occluded myself proximity

and polluted waters,
the creases village I

orthodox in serious capitalism

I précis responses to a fallen leg
to an indexical staff of low-lifes dusting

say anything


IV.

I am without a namesake and the sea

the bare minimum of personhood, but with dreams

so intact with broad demands I perish

the celestial chart of verses stolen I

factory blemish blemish without you

limited warranty treatment

similar bird became a vacuum

falsetto you prime number you

in a land for her channels to sustain

a feather casement or dull-side

lucky lucky I above all
