To a press

Tegument

(inner)

agreement and argument
cease yet never begin
no flower, lotus or brown-eyed susan
unfolds slowly or instantly
waiting at a bus stop and watering
a tree that owns itself without admission
exploration and seeking at once
worthless as meditation and other hidings
not even only

(more)

each perception judges completely
attempting to recall this while listening
increases the perception

(insided)

often what is occurring
gets later than expected
and everyone forgets what
ever they meant to say
followed by agreement
which sounds exactly like argument
a space appears to leave
but even after we are gone
no one leaves

(between)

a coin requires
he said she asked him to
strangle her during
and the limit of light
on his face said he wanted to
before she spoke

(outside)

rubbing legs together
the day never comes as thought

(outer-banks)

henry miller talks about crazy
and every word draws this me into
agreement of self designation
i'm on that side of the fence
hair combed by outsiders
longing for the very thing
i wouldn't stand under
and the gate only drawn toward
maybe it's always been this easy

(outer)

missing is the target
everyone i use to know
verbs pronounce
and they mean it

(out)

a boat sits
it crosses
crossing it sits
i'm sure
