      Feeding Lola's Brother 
 
My note of moment is sterling, 
a placid queen like Lola grimly bearing 
the ride back from London: 
her course of pills, my synthetic fidelities 
to Orion to friends lucky's reasons 
 
both corrupt and late in carriage. White 
fired from the sticks we shush, blood 
rattled on Essex flatland we sniff 
em out and are distracted with lust. 
 
Placid sterling, agent of this rocking, 
tingle in our pockets. Every change 
of season brings heat to the danger 
of purchase this, and that. Till-- 
 
He puts his thumbs on her eyes-- 
 
 
      1 Will Be Back At Nine 
 
To appear in public sectioned as citrus, appease. 
On ads to talk a wet red circle. I'd even fund 
love of the bawd from hate field to this 
very sheet's evidence. Data brought this way by way 
                   
			of the flux. Listening drips on 
                   
our din-din its need for an hour's 
                   
          
light talk. 
Kept by customs to a traffic mark, one hovers over these ports for 
hours. Another 10,000's another 4-blank interest, one on four off state. 
Eye the tide-break's sturdy geometric distribution. More magic 
in scattered shabby evils, ready to sue Officer D. Now, 
                   
			connivance this noon of their bubble 
                   
shelter to my drum-like surface 
                   
          
paddled speech. 
Remember when we all heard about Arethede, gone 
from her column in a blue-frilled jacket. Where is she now? 
Hung forever on a comet that underwrote her efficient, endearing, 
moving like mercury through the tunnels 
                   
			of ears pen tongue. Forgive oneself 
                   
			the eaves drip where they are with 
                   
      				her soulful abandon. 
Did we speak on this? Damage scratched in the casings 
of the shell of twin interest, dashed to the scene of, goes a 
a columnist in impractical collar. Sorry for remembering it 
in public. Arethede atones for whatever didn't save her 
                   
			from her unstoppable wristwatch 
                   
and expedient frill heard and seen 
                   
          loosely, want 
the red's wet centre draped in outerwear. 
 
 
      Fun   *   Leisure   *   Sport   *   Pleasure 
 
Blaze of day has run through clean towels and the Ram. 
Back gently among daughters and others. 
She casts off her already ruined one for her other one-- 
weedy quick, industrious with color, foraging for fun. 
 
Blue diesel, creamers, value items pucker over the parade 
where burnt kids virgin for once in their goddamn lives. 
What darkens the downtown corner near the POW column, 
who'd go down there anyhow. 
 
Fair's pin brightness rides into shipping channels 
where sand stirs and is made for tonight's dollar-token. 
In a house of birds, a house of reptiles, the moving floor 
of the fun house and the house of fame. 
 
How should Paulette Bristow have that grace to begin, as blue 
as the Aitken girls on the verge of their cautious party 
toast each other to vie for the king's hand; she strips off and 
puts on a portal of necessity and baby A's diaper. 
 
Something of my own fact possesses. But if I begin in 
Gravers Lane, my tiny warm pocket which by levy 
becomes a maw to the world, and recoil what ratio 
should this citizeness of Britain exact? The pleasure 
 
parade's full of dressed-up pleasant people. Even in America 
could my sister cut off her own arm? The leisure of script 
forces itself as forward as the Yarmouth sandbar, cutting 
off the crude from heavy shipping belonging to a Greek 
 
from baby 2 dabbling. The leisure of preparation 
for commemoration appears under 'deed', 
my leisure takes a tiny bite of it. 
For who shall give thee that grace to begin. I ask Paulette 
 
but she's filmed and halted. For the thought 
has pressed forward on her like a sport; I full 
court press up to another filling baskets 
that way and as my coin, so my coining.
