Collector\u2019s Frequency<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember when life had run its course
\nIn some celestial theater we\u2019d watch
\nThis all again\u2014
\nLast season\u2019s finale paused
\nBefore each
\nReminder
\nAnd rewound
\nUntil every object found its pair:
\nWhispers trapped in pools of rum
\nWrap sunburns in sewage smells
\nSealed off
\nTo be found
\nObsessively
\nI used to go on runs
\nWith hopes of alchemy
\nI used to record my dreams
\nI even used to synchronize each song
\nWith
\nThese shattered selves
\nCollecting in shelves
\nAnd terrible poems
\nEffusing in eddies
\nAnd finally hardening on the edges
\nOf love-stained sheets<\/p>\n

Under the comforter of exchange
\nInvisible lines fan-out and fractalize
\nThe forgotten wavelength
\nForced many before us to celebrate
\nAnd complete the connections
\nI only wish to arouse<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Warm Winter<\/strong><\/p>\n

 
\nAn unusually warm winter
\nGooses them to come out
\nAt all the wrong times:
\nNests half-built
\nAbove the coming frost,
\nAt dusk, lines of quills will
\nSway gently under nuclear skies<\/p>\n

And smoke plumes in high definition\u2014
\nIt\u2019s only the cold air
\nThat makes me peer
\nInto attic windows,
\nUnlocking red rooms, the golden relations,
\nScenes from a promising new
\nB movie<\/p>\n

Her bones ached, he claimed\u2014
\nA result of global warming
\nAnd that the prophet was hung
\nOver and no longer
\nAny use to us
\nWith so many new channels to watch
\nAnd nothing we could not divine<\/p>\n

 
\nIn Our New LEED\u2013Platinum Office Building<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I can see
\nEverything\u2014
\nAnd everywhere
\nGlass, sunlight, glass
\nWhitenoise and whitelight
\nBut these computer screens make my eyes run
\nAnd glass
\nWalls distract the filtered water drinkers
\nAnd the fantasy leaguers of Monday Morning
\nWhose vision is now scattered along
\nSecret meetings\u2014
\nScandalous meetings\u2014
\nThe solubility of vision bars
\nThe other senses
\nIgnoring, of course, the lack of soundproofing
\n(We had nothing that was green!)
\nAnd the absence of actual progress
\nBetween natural light and glass
\nWhere words pass in
\nAnd out, deranging,
\nSlipping into conversations
\nWhere they don\u2019t belong,
\nLosing\u2014loosing\u2014their solidity
\nTheir viscous texture
\nUpon the second(hand) shores of exchange
\nPicking up speed
\nLight speed!
\nShooting through glass
\nFlumes, leaving
\nOnly memories
\nAnd estimations
\n(behind)<\/p>\n
