( NOT DISPLACED / NOT DISPLEASED )


'SANS TITRE'
6:00 am, jet-lagged
I sit by
the window, smoking.

last night I walked
the eighteenth-century streets
while a pretty french girl sang

"it's a small world
after all"
to me in japanese



'ERASMUSBRUG'
slept on a staircase
black stairs lead outside.
the bridge hangs heavy
outside the white windows.

ocean breeze blows east.
heavy bridge leans, sways
bell rings somewhere on
northern shore-- days ends.
white windows all close.



'CARICATURE'
everlight heavy alcohol sounds
dogshit paved cigarette roads
stained teeth broken veins
illuminated thick brown sexclouds
i think i visited
but i don't remember



'WHATEVER GETS YOU THRU THE DAY'
in a pretend
world

swallow heartbeats
taste of yeast

drink it down
boy drink it

down get thru
get down

forgetitforgetit
remember it

get real down

live in excess
who cares



'COITUS'
bat's howl seized up
dry cells crunch release

entangle roots stalks hawkwebs
round twistbones organs spiders

tingleshake black hair mouth
bruises thick air under

and inside beads dripdrop
expand whisper breathe out

what's taken away from
this what's only natural

useless shell hollow skin
what i actually am

ever the Black One
dances on the shore

close your face dear
i'll touch you secrets



'€XPERIENCER'
youre gonna be fertilizer soon
you know that i said thats all
were here for i mean im no mereological asshole
or nothing at all just no thing
absence i said
i said damn it all
to hell if you wanna come baby
i can pick you up at 8 but
if we cant go all the way in my car
later i said you can just forget about it
i said you ever wonder what your particles used to be
because i think mine used to be a jellyfish



'AFTERNOON NAP'
i was in the bed--
yes, you were there



'UNTITLED 川柳1'
I would like to die
with my hair a certain way--
handsome forever.



'UNTITLED 川柳4'
I have forgotten--
please do not remind me of
whatever it was.



'UNTITLED 川柳5'
I've nothing to say--
I scraped the words off my tongue
and it was painful.
