These little

Throw away

Events

The history

Of consciousness

Department

Hasn’t dreamed of

Growing up

Hot asphalt

Awareness

There are brains

Entire

In our body

What happens

To a bear

When forgotten

A few days left

Before ending

Its sleep

Tom McGlynn

My goodness

You’ve grown

The contrast

With the skyline

Must be amazing

Boost as you

Strive

Leaving a note

After you smash

Seedy

Into civilization

Who has uncovered

A strong correlation

Between yearnings

And waste

Their breath

Arguing candidacy

And tokens

Of global diversity

Should be reduced

To artifacts

In museum

A new

Sunday topography

Refuses to fight

The working class

Kind of mean

Stunning, even

Your performance

On a treadmill

An opaque cause

Abalone eyes

Out of soup

I’ve been super

Busy

Behind and

Enjoy my post

Letting visitors

Get lost

At the moment

Having the great pleasure

Of souvenirs

Up against my face

To glisten

Budding now

Open

No one bottled

Returns

Purchasable in

Every state

My household god

Is loyal as she

Is hungry

Often posing

A right angle

To the floor

Looking back from

Her sentry bowl

Coughing

I wake her
Who pivots

Steady
Like an owl

Watched a repeat

Late show business

We can look back

Now on the effort

With more ease

And forgiveness

It’s bullshit to destroy

The archive lasts

When sometime sticks

Out my neck

Scare city mindset

Can put a soul

In your hole

Kind of

Weimar Republic

Years before

Beneath the ice

A mammoth stir

A crucial hub

For several

Years it took

Time for consciousness

To migrate

Some rocked

Harder than others

Devoted too

The hungover masses

Everybody took it

Seriously

And shared so

Beautifully

Though

Glad to be able

To watch again

Time hands

Down to meet

Oh my

Gawd

Act now

Everything you have

Ever wanted

Through no fault

Of your own

Listen to it crack

Plunk- in, well

So far

The best article

I have

Yet to consume

Impeccable

A blasted turf

Beneath me

Behaves

At times with dignity

At others

Grubbing for flavor

This branch of knowledge

Blocks the view

Where as

These leafy veins

Extend their many arms

Much more to be

Desire

Immerse yourself

This is what crashing

Awesome looks on

A pristine coast

The dismissal of science

Even my small collectors miss

A burgeoning family

Of rescue creatures

Re-sourced revenants

Invertebrate

Your self

As though leader sunk

Can turn that brand

New into sandy breaches

Leaking

A delta forming

Non-withstanding architecture

Have some brutal

Picturesque

In shitty resolution

Lap strake brushstrokes

3-ply the repetitions
Bull work the wave

Tom McGlynn

Do you binge

Watch documentaries

Home for over

All generous souls

With a last image

Dismissed as

Inarticulate

How is your dog

My lovely?

That’s my

Chinese place

On the corner

These are the expressions

On a kid’s face

Oblivious to all the Guccis

Pradas and Chanels

Of the planet

Its worldwide arm

Without

Paying a dime

Just completely so

Imbued

Seeing what works

In bulk

Is on hand for

The annihilation of

All form

Regardless of changing

The man

Removed to reaches

Unknown

Friday will be

A noisy day

Come Monday

We’re thumping out

Tom McGlynn

The busy life of soil

I was hoping to forestall this

Type of life lesson

Under a charter of oaks

There is a giant salt

Mine

Before people

Were dropping letters

Like flies

Neither is getting old

Something you’ve seen recently
Or want to see

Another pretty evening

Brought by you

With petty cash

Where with all

The night evaporate

Reigns desert cold

Miles apart

And inches deep

Significat

Purple- ringed

But never close

The valley cast-

Uncanny, amulet.

Tom McGlynn

Somewhere I once worked

Except for the zillion hours

Ever captured

On film

The ooze

Out of which

Your recollection

Of the evidence controls

Of gratuitous acceleration

My company pretends

To be interested in your idea

It’s a bummer when

This happens

I’m over

Fifty pages in

Who once took home

Just a thin candy shell

Sweet enough

To get me read

Recalling
The ambassador

By suspending curious

Reform

Backed by debt

In orderly degree

Away was made

My favorite playmate

Time standing still

Appears to have aged

The smallest house in the world

Can cause havoc for keepers

Some of us

Just as soon

Wield a beautiful

Angel-like

Than feed

The monster

Truth

Climbing

Strangler vines

Draipse

Ash-tree furthers

Muddy courage

Beetling, lacquered

Barbaric jewels

Bore home for

Squirmish kin

A must see

A tiny fraction

Soon

We’ll all be sending

Goodbye selfie

A wonderful pop-up

Exhibition inscribed

False profit

Excuse me

While I go

Feed it

Everyday queens

Stupid cold

On cloudy spring

Grace in-dwelling of rakes

Imposture adjusted to death

Their largest music

Shorn from gowns

Used to change

Finding

If boot-ground iris

Are everything at once

Accompanied by lions
Followed by lambs

So dedicated too

The dirty faithful

Bedded in aureole

Trailing ferns in train

A jungle diet

Entirely political

How many disasters

Do we need

Survey monkeys

Tally ho

(Yet countless)

Miles between

They have stolen the world

Deprived and bored

Elephant-brained

Caved to the mining

Scribbling equations

It’s not my arch

Anymore than
It has burned through

The canopy

Maps of trees

And slates of instruction

A window flown

For your thoughts

All homeless- jostled

For shelter

Near school

The possibility of color

Ultramarine

Is thinned, synthetic

Acquired through initiation

Keep your props

To a crucifix

Flat-planed and cross-eyed

A slanted perch

Coyotes thread among us
Weaving on all fours
Free of vertical treason

Tom McGlynn

Colonial terms

Team up again

After a flurry of silence

Having lived through

An empty house

What a pity

The sales of object

Demand a resolution

Kinfolk

Delay their plans

For a coup a little longer

On the threshold rise

I’ve heard of further

Attack!

Newly indispensable

Method into

Inciting exercise

Rats with access

To high fructose

Will say scientists

Made it up

Say hello to beacons

Offers pushed

To your cellphone

A good way to get

Your business noticed

When we were

Made as kids

Into world citizens

Was something

That began to move

Not a direct link

Because photos change

Something went wrong

However your declaration

Slack-jawed I

Partly agree

Go listen about

Movement or mere identity

At the same time

Totally weightless

The sad thing

About making me hungry

Now that actually

Sounds fair

Due to other projects

When I was a girl

What skewed, reframed

Conventions turned ugly

If he sounded more

Like a real person

Resisting fossil fuel

My cat sleeps

Just like this

An artist and writer

Whose practice

Merges

Structure of feeling by

Refusing to guarantee

So beautiful its magic

Is in grounding place

A bald little peace of light

All but free

Slow- motion welded

Days of human

Construction might

Be numbered

Using telescope

In region

An act to issue

Messages

Having to touch

One another

Mechanic

Who can name

All these works of art

Somebody should scan this

Extracted

Best practices

Sent home

To their bewildered family

A moment of true warmth

Might get deleted

Returning to the stage

Where you pretend to drum

We need a weakly augment

Processed into a single

Insecure solution

Prepping for a psych feast
