Maybe this giant should not be allowed to play in an empty house forever OILY in its unreality

                The fire is turned on after practice in the mirror
Wide mouth                 other way         NO           other other
way            the passing located in the viewing              the
leisure & earthenware roaring for the storehouse
        reaching there by nose                     Live the life of a
fetus eaten by the poets who think about it                     We
implant them w/ eyes used             When this wood was
used                     cousin Piquette & Oliver arrived at the
school                                    – In the sea of quiescence
there is a castle             is a field running & living
Oxygen is split between & the power stations fall in
We in fury could put a hole through the elector while an
instrument plays & water pours
                    –  A gentle langour
brick–work was blowing                                         Deprivation
They own the whole harbor & the landlady
When we lie on the ground         cold
                if he broke the furniture in the
cold         the sky will shine in its blues & gold
One day the outhouse will be a seed–paradise
There will be birds                       The planks will be embedded w/
cracked corn             w/ white millet                     canary seed
sunflower’s coarse chips & pieces of its black oil                red millet
thistles             thistles           thistles & there will be so many
birds when your self is emptied & you will shit the ball of
majority
                    – But then it gets closer                 &
drowned in another feeling

It has only been about ten & a half hours since the universe started

                                                        They encouraged
it much like a juggernaut or a scandal                 The s
hithole water–tank                                           - Pull away
–         Bodrie told McFarland while the bickering god
drifted ashore down after the cut firs
my brainstorms         we shall soon be in         punch away
–                 Two hundred from the shot–gun           they were
surrogate                         Harakiri on the ketch
different only when looking forwards & around trying to catch
              – Peter         wetness enough                 The swing
skybursts his canoe w/ the healing virtue of the thing
noticed I stepped back & looked down my feet there was nothing

but waves                        They searched the rugged coastline
again swamped             McFarland                         the first to
the end of respect            –                                     Imagine the
stories in         all the dust  
  growing stiff from the futile
sea – water 
            – Well                 I happened to watch around the street &
the chips of the wood                                 held on the face of its
potential           closer than a leaf                                     – Thick
air they say your voice catches the particles way more & it flings
