Canto 24
nothing worse
than getting
distracted
while boiling
rice enya
effect where
rice burns
because orinoco
flow makes
sleep sleep
eyes close
while water
bubbles away
sail away
water burn
it up
food effect
where other
stuff on stove
disguises smell
landlady effect
where you fall
asleep and she
wakes you
because she smells
apartment burning
like ricecakes
use and disuse
not love
not hate
the spring
of apathy
coiled then flung
as Jesus
toiled then strung
high on spikes
and spar
manual e
come o
come till
love gets glee
gets gumption
shun hate
shine eve
shun love
un un natural
as spines
from fish
fins too
loving them
as you do
why the dead
sea's dead
the red sea's
red love
gets gone
when salt's
too strong
limpid not calm
not oyster
not mussel
stock not bisque
wehrmacht effect
club cult
soon to die
made to form
as well as
slink back
holy food
good will
affiliation
autonomy
intangible is not
the same as
unknowable
noli me tangere
materialism as
a critique
of dark matter
what fills barrel
when barrel
is empty
circumscribed
attention
to dark energy
the perfect wave
solar plus palm
gravity waves
queen waves back
see me
hear me
touch me
free me
soprano effect
who says there's
no exit
fade to black
no food
in this bar
except cheddar
crackers at one
buck a crack
from vendomatic
so set her up
Joe cheesy
martini olives
taste like battery
juice twin fin
torpedo das ist
nicht such
a big damn deal
there might be
something wrong
with my head
with my water
meter cause
the reader
left a card
to fill
in the grid
my head has
a hole or two
all stopped up
raisin is a lot
like reason
cause it's
wrinkled like
a brain
though brown
not grey
pickled lots
of red when ripe
see it running
down the walks
in Palermo
elf king effect
why do liar
and lyre rhyme
whose bed milky
sits empty
crown on pillow
staff laid
crossways
against the stead
drowning in pansies
depth charged
by zinnias
submerged by daisies
back floating
through lilacs
dive bombing
hyacinths
davy jones
in day lilies
a snake
in the garden
glittering
dandelions lean
to it watch
out the dell
is expanding
the adder has
eaten the dandy
lines
and she is
drunk and yellow
and fat
