make mouths water (2009)

we do everything.

while you enjoy the pompous pleasure
of wonderment, befuddled

over which veto to employ,
we register to bleed. O positive

is good for everyone, no doubt.

blue skies mean sunburn.

my back is wet from sweat,
not a river's swift boat to el dorado.

give back my back.

relish your own dog, i'm on
break: broken.

the floor is wet with red tears
because you dream to ask not.

if things get done, why can't we share a lion
taco? i'll eat the clause.

sense is never made of such constructs;
that's why art is better

in a heap of plasma, milk, reflected moorings
and de-heaping tweezers.

tweezers made by us.

we do everything, and in our time.
we make time in which

our autograph is a shadow on the spittle

reserved for shining things

up. making things

butter. making things toast. making mouths

water
