The accommodations


The accommodations
How are
Alignment
And spacing

Why was I excited
I kept thinking

Admirable I am
Presenting
Nothing in life
To take away
Your kindness

You'll get
The difference
If you stop in
And see something
In person

You know



You know
The drill
I thought it was
Ok to be ashamed
The surprise
Is that
The first
Handcrafted scent
Is always behind
The curve

One certainty


One certainty
That which
You bring together
Some necessary tensions
A 24 hour rush
To put on
The final touch
For now, perhaps
Lets children create
Art without limits

Track the fate
Of such terms
Applied
To your practice
Eaten back
From its edges

Collate
The difference
Realities captured
Over time
Full detailed
In honor of
Its broken glass
Some days
Are just
Like that

Many people


Many people
Experience
Modern time
And physical hints
Almost impossible
To afford
Doing great work
By taking
A stand on
Fog

A number of you


A number of you
Have asked
The difference
Quantity
And all else
To build
Your own
Bundle of
Atlas press
Ultimate

I've forgotten
What it's called
Most everywhere
Else I've traveled

The same goes


The same goes
For everyone
Signing for infinite
Seized

State which
Law you
Broken
In silent
Stop motion
If you ever
Wandered

Imagine what
A thrill
In dreadful
Whether
Under standing
This kind
Off virtue

We now offer


We now offer
Everyone over
The age
One of our
Exclusive
Design templates
You won't need
To work for
Someone else
Don't you wish
They were real
And coming
Soon-ish

Something went wrong


Something went wrong
With the TV show
The counting puppets
Got replaced
By building blocks
On fire

Then
We went to find milk
At the shop
Right?

That suited man
Sitting on the curb
Blew his nose
And smoke came out

Later 
Batteries uncommitted
Were charged 
With shock
And exchanged
By candlelight

Then
More men
Climbing up
A rubble pile
Cried, O!
What a dust
We raise

This is how


This is how
I find myself
Sitting
Slightly above
Street level
The bank tower’s clock
Aloof 
More so
From the street
Blaring
A five o’clock shadow

The birches


The birches
Cast false
White
In the night
Mooning
Against the pines
Throwing thus
Enough light
To shadow the stars
And to blanch
Those loping
Black lines

No cymbals


No cymbals
Where none
Attended
Imp offer
Details
Right?
At your door

The scourge
Of the other
Crash
Lately enmeshed
Clown suits
The hardware
Needing too close

Scholars, and others
Rent to own
Echoes

Well, above normal


Well, above normal
Chancers are
Who must
Subsist on
Half the time
Half warned me
Seeing as
Accessory to
Intolerant labels
Their relations
Remained
Surprisingly concrete

Everything


Everything
You need
All in one place
The wait
Is over

The dog in the yard
Runs a circle rut
His master in
The big house too

Ninety-nine designs
Of guarantee
Your love
Or your money back

A true testament
To all
We are building
Here
Looks forward

After nature comes
The command

An excavator


An excavator
Winnows the brick
Away from the sand
Once lining the cove

Whose sand
Was carved
An Egyptian
Crook of tides
Cruel ordered
By a mason moon

So piles
Of brick
Grow
Pyramidical
As men imagine crystals

The cove
A minnowed cradle
Frees its slaves
At birth

Falling out


Falling out
With and
Stranger on
The corner
Zed

Cooling heel
The arches
Trundle pilgrim
Out of key

Borders and shading
Times knew
Roman sandals
Shuddering

It's not going
Very far
To say
The same
For idyll chatter

Almost


Almost
A semi-documentary
You're like
Watching this
But like
This is really happening

A lot of work goes
Into this
Some great
Some not

So much
Hot reflecting
Stilled
The just won't pan
Out

How long
Was the shooting
That said
What you were going
For

Meantime
The streets melt
Toward a nine-dollar lunch

Reverse


Reverse
Engineer
The task
At best
You can

Consign
Component
Part

Small wonder
Motor skills
Are needed

Go
And try
Your hand
Fluttering
At heart

Resolution
Lo!
Feeling
For the door

Everyone over


Everyone over
The age
Off too
You're typical
Visit
Now through.
