CGI of Meat and Milk


This steele city is a cartoon on high
CGI of meat and milk and cell

the mesh chain-link along the bridge
breaks my view into beecomb

Mozart backs me with his Turkish March
(everybody needs a schlep-track)

I pause, better ponder,
as I hap upon the stoop of the Green Lady
a brief arm shuffles inside a denim pocket
then a hand against the cold brass knob
I push and am inside.


Keystone State Coppers
equipped complete with tit-hats
and beatin' clubs
shuffle in clouds and whirls, mawkish tornado cyclones
this is the place where a scrape on yr cheek looks like a pound symbol (#)

and ruddy wet-nosed they swing
and thwack
and rail against my better judgment

BUT
my scabs aren't stock
and 
the cuts heal
and scars become wings

and let shit fly the fuck away if you don't want it

home base in the shape of a kids house
minus the chimney and curly-cue smoke
which rises up to them m birds.

This life and death
in the form of a question.

Raise your obsidian skull-cup eastward
in winds

a cherubic patch of butter fat babes
glow on the sundown 

silver white wisps of peat smoke
up through the floos
under sulfur lamps
on the wet street

listen for the crane
by the canal


the carriage walls were covered in red fabric
worn slight
small holes and mold
her cane was silver and bore the head of a hare
she sat legs crossed
delicate in the ankle
solid cool porcelain feet
toes up toward the roof

and black horses look blue
in the rain under the moon
