Random Poem (for Bill Knott)

Chameleon

jackknifes

into the action

don’t believe in poisoned bait

noir guru hottest hallucination

the wrong bus

“Inner Okies migrunting through the mustbowl”

hordes hoarding their own peculiar obsessions

if it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it

unfortunately, no common sense apps

what time is it?

brother

can you spare a time?

time aging badly

time of fancy footwork

time of ferocious blunder

time of organic encryption

time of public pigsticking

hang time before hang time

time-a-changing time

the future you ordered has arrived.
