TV Movie

Snowflakes, raked bamboo leaves
Flames set to burn the big house down

The stakes are risen higher
With pyre of unfamiliar faces
Races on the intoxicated flyer
Shy times in the distant colony

Stop it, stop it; stop this nonsense
Did you not feel it in those moody eyes
Did you not see it in those smiling eyes
Did you not catch it in those guilty eyes

He takes her, she drives the liar
His twitch begets the stuttered paces
Laces of rum, for our forever-evil sire
Cries of madness, instant felony

Ashes; flaked floats of paper debris
Unsound frames of reference decoupled

Store Days, Bar Days, And Cafe Days

Holy Moses
How much fun

To be with Children
No, no, no
Yah, yah, yah

------

Just beneath the Jameson
Down the road
From the crocodile skin shoes
Watching the video
Streets of Philadelphia

------

The congestion
More congested

Would a breath
Of oxygen

Ease
The conveyor belt

The Difference

See
Close up

See
Far away

See
All the flaws
The brushstrokes

See
How it glistens
The composite whole

Enter the storyteller
All turquoise & jewels

Towing a casket
And a cast of a thousand children

Hist

Words in Amsterdam
Far and away from Zen

This land of smoke and mirrors
Houses that stand, or lean
Front to back, side to side
Five, six, seven storeys high

There goes another tram
Judaism crossed by when

In this hall of talk and jitters
Tales that demand, or mean:
Leave some slack, take a ride
Thrive, fix, why heavens nearby

Vittles

Less clear
The beer
In the restaurant

No fear
We have taken
Our photographs already
