ON THE JELLY SIDE OF SLOPPY
my bellybutton is jelly punchy hotcakes
on the boardwalk with fish heads floundering
at the bottom of the stairs one eye winking
nod double knot speaking of milk
and the memory of the early years in rivers
with major bears doing curly claws on the backside
posterity is one flail short of progress
minutes doing their best impression blinking
I'm the anonymous thrasher in an astronomical loop
the principle of participation is lunar layaway
migrating out of the neighborhood and into fire
trailing embers and embracing the genetic unknown
I pretend to play Captain Hook with a fever
running the hose to flood the busy flower garden
granny plays biosphere bingo with the library crowd
propulsion on a large scale goes beyond annoyance
equations that stagger the universe become
a blanket for new bouncy babies
