All of me is now invested in Rabbit. Then
come June: to Klammath!
to Redding!
to Palo Alto!
to Palm Springs!
to Tucson!
to Flagstaff!
to Saint George!
to Salt Lake City!
to Twin Falls!
to Boise!
to Prineville! Then
come July: to work, work, work; my evenings: to write, write, write
Somehow, some way, I will learn the functions of Civil Man, of Adult, and of Father
The mileage on the heart weighs heavy on so late a night as this;
how heavier it grows the further I travel,
how much stress the load amasses;
yet I am one of the damaged masses

What more can be said? I conquered how to illustrate what I see proves and disproves All. I am satisfied, bereft of words; nothing more can further satiate this thirst, this longing, this torture; no words can reach that which my absence of words accomplished

until I know How Else,
farewell

I must practice writing as Earth practiced itself
until I emerged
now words surface
to stars and to black [crushing] voids
[press lead / press diamond]
I / You
I / We
……… / ( )

Earth Day
bleached-white tiny fossils of a duck
four months —five months? since we met last
organs, excavated
feathers sparse, marks of time
unthreading sinew,
pale orange webbed motors
little nothing
of Oneness
no eyes no heart no lungs
maggots! make way for Now & Laters, Ritz, Twix, Tootsie rolls, Kettle, Hostess, Frito-Lay, Keebler, Chex, Cola, Cola, Cola, Cola, Cola, Hershey, Doritos, Kotex, Airheads, Little Debbie, Wonka, Oscar-Meyer, Oberto, Quaker, Honey Maid
(all natural) (organic) (USDA approved) (100% wheat) (recyclable) (renewable) (sustainable)
dropped here, forgotten, by human hands
hands: for invention, for demolition
plastic! seep to Our Iron Core
our Engine
revs; it sputters, kicks
converge, diverge; we rebuild
fiercer, much too sustainable we are

If I had to explain Why We Fall (which I do for myself…as I am on the verge of burning it and all the versions of it remaining) I might reach for
an Abstraction wherein televisions and VCR’s are magical, and where the once-upheld and mighty American Dream is nonexistent yet still so urgent…the people are sequestered in jail-like cells on this massive island…gray towers pile high into clouds…no concept of a world is known to these people. No concept of nature. But a will to survive and defeat and overcome is inherent. It is not a Reset for humankind. It is an Abstraction of how a young man imagines the world with inexperienced eyes. It is violent and unforgiving.

I am hard at work at the waiting game
waiting for my editor
my agent
my graduation and release into the world
I am afraid
