Recipe by Jay Passer

ancient trees

leaves fail to cling

anti-spring

 

personality independent of the poem wearing it

 

blue jeans

                plaid skirt

                                 argyle socks

                                                     shades

 

the scheme of things Superman or Hoover vacuum

killing the dreams off the carpet on your knees

crumbs of a broken drunk or a moon full of eyes

 

wheat milk bone dung

gloom antecedent

lost heart of an impending attack

 

corn yeast sugar water

brim my cup then off to slaughter
