one for august

Sincere disgust
the cat with red eyes prancing through
the dust
up the stairs a spiral of tails
a figure eight of dirty hairs each one  a gem
imagine

a row of rails from one ocean clear blue to
clear accross the continent of insanity and into
another ocean
space lapping at the brown sand

trunks with no branches hanging on to air
drifting with nets and news papers written for wrecks

we invite these models of the future
into our lives of the past, a sea for shining sea
a boot with polish that is one-size fits all
it has absentee ballots for tongues and coarse
cesear salad for inserts for walking for nourishing the nervous
systemology, a profile in the sideshow of the back lit alleys
where religious pigeons line up at a puddle, muddy fuddy duddy
landing flying roosting bathing tasting
trying out the puddle
a puddle put there by the boot, the sole of which is made from
a thousand hand picked fruits, fruit de mer, froo-froo dogs on
so so chairs
