an untamed ox,
the zen monk would say.
Passengers in planes
to japan sleep
while i size up hale-bopp
and the egyptians who last saw it.
The faitfhful attend mass
en masse, i contemplate
those who painted the walls
and affixed doves to ceilings
In fisted fingers and petal-soft
tongues, i should find pleasure
but distracted only find this poem.

full of creaking, moaning ships
water splashing and slowshing
there it was: creaking collision
metals crashing and scraping
screaming of pain and fear
fear of what you couldn&#8217;t see: only hear
only taste the dampness of the air
didn&#8217;t i think i would die that night
smacked dead by a semi
before things were made right?

in this old run down mobtown
secrets and treasures remain hidden
a paper moon diner tucked away
between rusting car parts
peddle-slow creaking trains
and boarded up row homes

safely turning blue-lit corners
avoid eye contact with the
