On Rage, a poem
Rage
“ …that dog
barking at nothing
because every time he’s barked at nothing,
nothing’s gone wrong and why not keep it that way?”
– Bob Hicok, “One of those things we say…”
Blaze searing eye-corner
fierce rupture
a hazard of blades
we two, entangled –
emotion dug deep and flung far –
architectonic
like the causes of weather
complexity systems
large beyond measure
on any scale
insinuated within
spaces we intimately share
archaic wounds – a butterfly’s wing –
tempest stress to tumultuous effect
(deep dug, far flung)
we two, engangled
emotive amygdalas in action
safe love, a hazard of blades

Against the Day
And what was there to do?
High school now behind us, Frank’s dad dead, and no promise of college, work, or love; we were lost, angry, confused.
We’d all of us read Pynchon, we knew very well what to expect, and it wasn’t good.
And lots of it.
So much burned inside us.
At the city’s River Festival we spotted the blimp.
And somehow we knew.
We just knew.
Now, it begins.
