Dear Student

Congratulations!

You have been
INVITED
to my cubicle
to MEASURE
the cranial
dimensions
of one of my
many SKULLS.

Dog your Christ
shoulder to the window.

Crash through the stained-glass
architecture of the river.

Poke your animal profile
out from the sudden darkness

of your body.

Whittle a revolutionary
doll apendage and axe

your way through the dream
catcher of intestinal cable.

Imagine your ribcage
a hot oven mitt, now

grab ahold of something risen.

Focus on the space
just above your forehead

and forget about that
first batch of cookies.

Your milk-mustashe
will lead you to the mummy-oder.

This is where the unravelling occurs.

Remote Control

Coming out
the boob-tube,

unnecessary actions.

Those hands will
yank the teeth

from the lapdog.

Some hard-ass
will entice a snapping

turtle to bite the end
of a pair of channel-locks,

then with a quick
twiste and jerk,

decapitation!

One

The celestial position
of organs has emerged.

I wait like snowdrifts
for those star-puckered lips

to belt my face into Orion.

I let the wind feel me
out like a needle on a record.

A calligraphic text is detectable
in the bone-white

resurrection of matter.

I move in pelagic cyclones
from days to decades.

I leap through conifers
with the urge of a primate;

blood-moon eyes rattle

like mummies then disappear
into the mountains with the quickness

of night.
The valley unfolds.

I am alone in this village.

Camelus Analysis 001

I guess I
never noticed

the way
a camel's foot

looks when it
makes contact

with the earth.

A lot
of squishy

skin jiggles
around the hoof.

The Hominins

Come here
antelope;

I will hold
your antlers

in a sexy pose
with other men

all scrolled out
in chronology.

Real tough guys.

*
It is evident
by the shapes

of our heads
that we were

attracted to
the alien women.

Pillars

Some people
think that I,

a man of
the humanities,

can't possibly
know anything

about science.

I have taken
hundreds of

pictures of caterpillars.

I kick it
with arthropods

eight hours a day
seven days a week!
