so sorry James

mighty protagonists sup oysters

declaim in voices of thunder

 

their deepest note

a molybdenum coffin

 

it’s lid

urges open –

 

the man inside

who meters of death suffuses

 

becomes rainbow alive

thinks, it’s me

 

an innocent abroad

will I program

 

or be programmed?

dominoes in many dimensions

 

and the roads of life spaghetti

the quantum vacuum I think this map’s

 

an art book on a table outside

the wind randomly

 

leafing through Rothko

angelic interferometry

 

cloud front storm front

a front for atomic

 

mice they look up from their

dreaming, dream new

 

proteins, basaltic

blows

 

puffs enough to propel

ships and us sailors

 

hereon into O
