steers his jeep with his knees
pours a small tim’s
into a robin’s travel mug
few glugs of baileys
from the bottle under his seat
faded tan prowler
faded orange stripe in tow
twelve-footer on the roof rack
he welded himself, let's go
beads of condensation cling
to the old vienna bottle
in his right hand
scans the wrong side
of a nameless nolalu road
for the turnoff to canthook lake
white tail on a pink jig
three pickerel on a stringer
putt-putts the twelve and a half horse
to shore
cleanses himself with water
from an upturned home
depot bucket after he sweats
in his makeshift plywood sauna
glowing in the smoulder
of a pallet fire
long way from
anything at all
moon rising
smell of deet
belly full of fish
and old vienna
cracks the blue cap
off another

Goddess
is it not
enough
you send
lions
to my moon.
Only there
to sleep upon
Pluto's doom.
Then also
dare you
house
Zeus
in league
with Venus
to make me
swoon.
Prepare it then
with all
your karma
Mars
and forces
or teams
of wild
horses.
See what
might
sun in Taurus
be
tethered to mistress
Uranus
destined
to be
free.

What do you think about?
Do you think about it too?
Or do your thoughts drive you,
is thinking what you do?
you are you
you are you
i am too
but you are you
A bunch of little schemes,
can they qualify as dreams,
your card is held up high!
you scream into the sky
you are you
you are you
i am too
but you are you
The light of day brings new recruits,
to fill ranks of lost pursuits,
They bubble in a psychic soup,
then burst in endless loop,
you are you
you are you
i am too
but you are you
you are you
you are you
i am through
but you are you
