common to all common

deep language

deep-seat

deep structure

the eyes have it

and the best

stars

in your eyes

the best ocean

the best skies

See where it gets you

ablations to the heretofore

drooling dreamers on a

streetcorner

blasted by artificial

hell

bet which way

he falls over

blades this common

knew you

could stand on tiptoe

swaying in the breeze

it’s a matter of time

ablutions take

too long

against diction

against lack

of random

against syntax

punctuation is for

losers

we ride asemic

letters on walls

& overpasses,

you see at

a roadside

must be covered

with marks

bailing out reason

ain’t what

it used

to be
