Two views of the same storm.

1.
polaroid guitar
neglectful urns octave
unlit bottlenecks
against morning gray
the water tower

polaroid guitar

2.
   coolth rubble
twice failed rocket
   blink arrow
i turn prior
   sense bubble
secret the pact
   bubblewrap
skin polaroid
   ballistic
cool gray morning
   no signs of
the war slowing
   skyward beams
kids born since then
   pylon winds
eight-track tape drifts
   work resumes
because what else
   watch those lanes
fifty year old
   songs mock us
what of this coolth
   after worst
summer ever
   six months to
hear rejection
   the iron rain
folds into song

Money Buddha.

"That a wealth of experience is essential to write poetry is a myth rooted in the mistaken belief that poetry exists within the poet. Neither is poetry in objects." --Lee Seong-bok
