WATCH ME TAKE THAT THEN I CHANGE LIKE A MOOD RING

Asked him
What's your perfect wife?

"She has to be sluttier than I am. She has to read more than I do."

GROW LIKE YOU DID AT NAZARETH

3.

Grow like you did at Nazareth

Leaves on that whole tree
Hang so / Hang on it and it looks like a screen / those leaves that will shake off a screen / ALL HARLEQUIN

Just a heap hung in sky
Leaves on all branches have been resized big to little / switchbacking

Can you grow like that

To neg her / he says she reminds him of the NANNING ORPHANAGE / see I'd say she reminds me of MOSSFEASTER FUNERAL HOME

She can see something that was wet / but dried now / on the side of his face / not going to ask
He stands on left side of her / keeps standing to the left of her /
STERN LEAN

She's hearing someone on right say 'I tried to close her mouth to help her'

And now skin hangs on the roof of her mouth / how did it get raw / Now, won't stop tonguing it / she cut it on the seam of stale gum / cut through lollipop her mouth worked on

Her face it's at rest / see it from the side--

Knows she won't grow like that again

She cares about that building in Bastrop / More than a hanging green heap
Building sits off the access road / brown building / government / olive green oily tinted windows / looks bad
It's a place all the way custodial / how it smells / she has to / she goes in
While walking slips a finger in her mouth to feel the cut again / keeps wool gloves on / why

"I saw Adam's bones reposing in a cavern under Mt. Cavalry deep down, almost to water level, and in a straight line beneath the spot on which Jesus was crucified"

No more growth.

COPING JEWEL --

















Whole walking cane's a solid white / tics it on a tile / man is blind holding on it in a double fist they did him in wrong / mani's fresh, 4 days in, she's saying the nails look like teeth--but says it like "they look like 1 tooth tenned" / no reason for that man caning all in front to know his teeth are bright set in his mouth like jewels / solid white rubies / but they are / gleaning out / a coping he has / but he can't know unless we say / more clicking this time from his feet on public outdoor marble that can only look dirty once you walk up to it / I want to tell him / he's on top of steps that we all see clean at a distance / but so gross from the shoes going across if you're close / this one's not a coping just some thing he won't know / He is no Stesichorus

 "What would you like to say about Jewel?"

























everyone I could set into AlumiRes resin / she's one of them / I sit far away / this woman walking fast no fixed way on a court / we're so hot it's a bad hot 3 PM / get down on concrete smells like sweat / she's big / semi-mesh shining nylon shorts these are a cherry red a deep red all-over diamond cuts but you won't know the shapes unless you get up on a pair of them / those shorts wicking away anything wet dripping down her / my lashes hang on by baby magnets and laughing but comes out a straight dirty hiss / at her / I don't mean a jeer at you / comes off like a jeering / at you / ask her is she building muscle / looks at top of my forehead says into me "no working at stubborn belly fat and I chafe, I chafe, I put the baby powder all over" / after a blinking back to her see a fistful of talcum mixed up with Tricofero for the hair until it turns itself to royal lite purple paste / she's jerking in the air from behind but I make her still / all I do to make her into that is look down / "who has to bear much" / now she is a Tantalus to me / parched no lake for her to want / lumbers too strong / I see her so I set what she looks like into the etching for Lanman & Kemp-Barclay tonic for the hair / 2 cone planters either side of her / I keep her / I'll keep her in that way

"What would you like to say about Jewel?"

He says he wants his music to sound like a recording of a small dog in a designer carrier being pulled around a city for a day

 "I just hope people understand that was a year for him," he went on, switching to the third person. "And I hope everyone has a successful year and I hope that's in the past."
