What am I looking for?
Any & all forms of "at best"
cagey Hellenism
participle-ing it down
between the legs now
who is blushing? What
continuum brings?
A lover's plum exterior?
In the hotel lobby out on the metro platform
(crooning)
If I could melt it all down if I could
get to the very piss of its
carnival shape
its gilded recompense
its languid clusterfuck
I came to Athens because my fabric-mind
needed to sift
Or maybe I was looking for a way to
accidental it just a bit more
And now look at me
unable to sense the danger of
aorist's suggestive perfume
Trapped in this room with you naked
Nothing to do but get down on all
fours and stall again before the epic
Linear B is a menace we all know that
It germanes everything it touches
Pantaloons deep in the city's gutters
What enjambed swimming is
What bitter-tasting vocal chords
always seem to leave behind
To the left these prologue-
Jesuits inducing labor
To the right a nylon stretch
of the old city wall dying semi-annually
It wanted a new juniper-narrative
but no one would give it
Nylon hysteric
Prophylactics that take the exact
form & shape of any other low-lying thing
At this point in the game there's no
conceivable way they will ever be able to
honey imperium on their own
Tweedy
Badly pronounced
In the sense that
no more than two or three inches
up the ass that's all you said it would take
Before this weather's malformed
procreation slips the leash
Before my genital-harmonic maps
How to make sense of stolen linguistic imprecision
drowning
as we are in this one deliberate sun's flannel
& all of this testicular drama lifts
organed organed organing in the tune of poem's
non-sexual unfolding the
king of Athens is dead his smuggled
nipples (Danish) can no longer sounding
sounding by which is meant by which is meant
Watch me step straight as it were into a sea of plastic
rimming while out in the square they are busy
haggling luscious vending's every lazy ovarian
sweet in the belly is what makes the belly
This is the extent to which history proclaims the
victor the one who always emerges petroleum-bowled
Lost in the archive
Hidden deep in the Parthenon's cuntiness
& all of the aggrieved money changers they're
crammed in the elevator they're
taking bets to see which one will truant me first
Athens like any other city a series of increasingly
thin leather belts monocle-flaccid
Or did I mean all procreations are false Medea-cognates?
Pleasant in concept but surely accidental cinema once you get
ten or twelve nautical miles out from shore
If only I could be this exact when your libel is ginning up inside of me
