things

things like skateboarding, windsurfing

6-11 drag queens, the nude-food diet.

anyone with a summer house. 

a caravan of sleep starved migrants. Pasta

with arugula and smashed peas. 

the prairie texture of semen. short legs.

vowel's as ascending goddesses.

No, I wont be late. AWOL. 

the new fleshlight, unopened. open corneas.

the tangle of your purple afro

that fascinates. fur feathers.

opioid addics  on the front steps.

old mothers. pink iris's/

polyps. bodcon dresses

ribbon phrasing. uncle joe.

diverticulitis as a rock opera.

another Black murder. herb gardens.

the origin of nightshade cathexis.

witches. hair electrolysis. the wind.

the tree that pretends to hate itself.

apheresis. truth as sentiment. 

Ecclesiastes 4. the apes that devoured

my letters to you, the same ones

the cutting machine strung together as love

into the pledged air as purity:

it was so perfect;

so fall blooming.

The wind is the only constant; things are as transient and incidental as Kings, whether new or old.

OK, won't pretend to understand this one.
Going through all the writing, and you are up.

This seems very random to me.
If you do have a point, will you please explain? Is it just me, or...well, just let me say that
I was never one to walk (or roll) into an art gallery and exclaim over a mop bucket against the wall, supposing that there was deep meaning here.
Whatever were you thinking?
I really do want to know.

thanks angel and I promise not to philosophy since any philosophy would lean towards some categorical imperative; some moral obligation to qualify "meaning". the fault of poetry is that it pushes esotericism against the walls of necessity. Why poetry in the first place, that is, why read or write it with the requirement that it be fully understood (crane). It is random. Essentially, basically and barbarically random and to no good end. I'm glad you stopped by though and thank you for doing so.....dana

kay,read it again after reading your review, and I think I have it right now.
By the way, if they ever make that rock opera, I would love to see it. I thought diverticulitis was a bad thing...don't forget to get tickets to see The Rolling Kidney Stones!

I wish more people came up with such varied and interesting topics, every time I hear the words "what you thinking. It would be about the best autobiographical account of what it is to be us, the individual. We are all just completely unique individuals, with completely unique minds.
Even the simplicity of the title makes the complexity of the things gain more substance.
