seeing/saying: January 2018

These are the two

Faces of the given

We need public

Intellectuals like you

Like we peddle

Under anti-humanist

And private super-naturals

That see the same

Pattern in the stars

Tom McGlynn

What life was like

Fifty years ago

For your mother

And father

You forget

Every day has its history

Hands and feet

From your heart

Each new coating

Of common objects

Makes thicker

Their fit

Uh, very clear

Outline of people

Who lived

From the flimsy

Mental ones

To some awesome

Core aeon feelers

From plastic foodstuffs

To fake dynamite

A story

Telling of objects

Far from the middle

Of the road

Abandoned

How could I

In form thee

Shall I

Compare nothing

Less than

Cinematic asylum

To eating

A sandwich while

Retaining eye contact

But disregarding

The caption below

The image is

What makes this
Scene unnerving

Where should I park

My cash has been

Serving up family

Run business

Since shamelessly

Joined forces.

Given the market

Perched at all

Time highs

Who would think

To salvage

This train wreck

Keep your chin

Up and your shoulders

Back against

The smooth concrete

Walls made

For the last

One in the front row

Just completely lost

A draft, an answer

To a question

But cannot

Remember who

I’ve sent

Any minute

Any hour

Knowing I had

The answer

Now I can’t

Demand

Your refund

Now

These things are

Never enough

To make a stand

Let alone

Photo

Up until

They know

Longer belong

To the world

What will

It really take

To avoid collapse

The unexpected

Bonus how

Did we miss this

What will

Purchase the

Volunteers to fight

The punish groom

Who loves

This post

The ambiguity

Of the wow

Face has

Come in

Pretty handy

Now that

Your fistfull

Of problems

Got so

Specific
