Poetry: 1989-1993


Quills

Attitude Makes The Man



Symphonic images permeate their selves through nerves
Snaking among the rods and cones to rippled grey haven.
Fevered cracks of electochemical coupling harmonize data
Onto flip-book membranes, concave and insistent for more.
Aquatic predator propels mahogany facade questing skyward.

I saw a duck. It was brown, like dirt. It flew away.

Reticently pondering its meteoric abdication, crestfallen
Shadow furitivly dashes beyond my descending digits. I
Wallow in widening pools of patchwork ceramic mouths,
Enflamed in their foul jelousy of the ascending mallard.
Intention of conquest foiled, I assemble my quack troops.

Bummed, I go over to the pond. To get my decoys.
