4 poems || John M. Bennett
haibun || Sheila E. Murphy
I am privy to our picnic basket, where the brie and apple Charlotte live. I want to have
a sandwich in another life with you. Near streams the cuckoo swells to song.
A sonnet's worth of linking to some petulance to swat. The kiln is full of undone flings.
You will administer my depth half without thought. A color might conform to fuel,
and soothing herbs might prompt a reminiscence. Weather may as well have wintered
here. The whimsy once imagined capsizes rigid fault lines. Whose arrangement do
these flowers portend? A live nest bristles with conspicuous thin leaves. Unhinged
endorphins cozy up to patterns to be made. I fill a feast with quiet forecasts. As though
any of the story could be formulated shared.
Stem cell, Thebes, some thumb tacks, overall a carryall

poem || Peter Ganick
listening captured.
listening to bob dylan on the
internet washes hands
with water and wine—
of the parachutes
on modes of prescience—
which contain
evaluations of apology
summoning tones iterating
a seldom numerous chances?
vanishing where sullen—
so the respite as frame
incalculably a thought as
sweeping reacts to curatorial muscle.
surmounting laughs—
where haptic evaluations remove
the publican mirage—
just who is therefore
to be thereforing the summershine?
where the overheard night
indexed formats liberally
otherwise no wooden conduit—
a fragrance in permutation
however costly
burnt bridges—
mercies are not replicated
so that evidence
meant for anomalous tasks
becomes cases offered
where sitting and standing
remasks surety.
a mood of cell-wise inquiry—
nor grasping an introit
whether inverses otherwise
beget the decision
of salutary pluralities
to evoke as near ensembles—
their confidence from parallax
is otherworldly—
the spaces that are bested
are walking from that shaman.
precisely one sediment over another—
an anthem wakes itself
once to those carriers—
the trust of personist evaluations—
of mottos whose centrisms
in periodic nuances
festoon lesser camelots.
the comprehension is
gestural for maelstroms—
no silence for tremors—
temblors are seismic dustbins.

For protection, pasting

Immanent
Broad notion spiritual

a faith foray deliberate reaction
to the personal contextual philosophy
truth or evidentiary

imperative moralistic general ideals
processed delusion fulcrum
adequate visit, return. Assumption
of the articulating angles
disparate from the mind’s
choice or italicized embodiment
felt by the viable sustenance of
an onlooking apprehension.
Range
Frozen
amid temporal dissections

combining outcast components denied
as avifauna

"As You Were"
Pinty dog jabs split staccato punc- into the atmosphere. I leave the shades dimmed shut. Some doors
pluck open, some stay sealed. As grayness holds. Most novelists I know write look-backs.
Splinters of mismatch with uber-availability of facts. I breathe, therefore explore. Amid the bales
of indignation by untutored mammals mimicking parental stasis. In the meantime, mid-lines rarely
crossed seem fixed ideas. When the doorbell rings, it is persuasion seeking to perform its rote bit.
Hillsides better for the leg muscles of strangers. Weaving is its own excuse for indecision.
Watch. A parrot that might save this day provides ear training for the gullible. Finding at an impasse
selves at speeds continually various.
Gender studies, wake-up calls arriving like points of a bell choir, prompt tones marking this hour, that,
"the" hour

risk
pursued this double entry sharing her
personal possessions opportune
for wishing her set weekends nature filled
with laughing memories of a lifetime's
reversals plotting how you'd find success
spiritual flowering love a dirty beach
headland in low light where all you’d have
quite literally to do is grab the girl
and go before there’s been a proper chance
to sing impromptu hymns so solemnly
paired in warm romancing you'd forgo
installing scripts of malware coding for
where this rich toned softcore saint unveils
gradual shifting scenes of her at peace
discretion
pairs of tights from ground floor hosiery
shall be entered into only with
the free and full consent of those entitled
by nature to give cause when they're accused
of taking six week stretched invariant
politic occlusions in positions
hard pressed to keep appearances in low
respect for begging leave their company
alone distributed to freely held
opinion seeking simply for the skills
to implement new plans discretely met
distinctly ascertained by law though ill
imagined names to oversee their public
personalities must wait outside
stimulus
midnight deadlines pack in legislative
cuts the humourless oblique confluences
of coffee totes reviews in pared to order
tailored to give no quarter for the latest
in financing so precious a career
that we might know if someone's misassigned
stock images the senate finds confirms
cappuccinos stirring old dry saws
with sounds to bite for days the clipboard seating
sunflowers show their watch them take the term to
unramble words injected where they can't
snatch in drink the real distinctly chugging
pre mini game price rising caucus wide

suburb
no later than 6AM upon the angular lily
a radiant galaxy template carnivorous
pop art gladiators hurricane southpaw
good enough for the boiled tongue of
the gods sacrosanct bittersweet hang
nail walking as smog lariat panic attacks
iterated situationist null sets in a Parisian
suburb sweltering rays on summer blacktop

funhouse
maladjusted tooth decay buggies and and
salted tongue-sand nautical play stations
like germ banana mantra laminated magma
gun-show inlaws sawed-off kaleidoscope
kundalini pinto beans in a tricked-out Buick
cruising through Pakistan with a maypole
and a bone a yo-yo a funhouse mirror and

rewriting history as it happens
the eye wanders affront the tongue annual
gangrene meticulous and sinus adieu into
the baggy night sags sinuous as a ladle
with no tungsten substance such as the
kinds english in Sanskrit or collaborative
skull-gulch naturally tourists snarls scars
slinking along magazines magical hawks
walking canasta mbira the pang of games

abyss
vines rare grind away
stab hints that's not
rinse blaring marred
lobes rhyming glad
nor rungs sandpaper
and signs bitten saw

haggle
haggler baste
trope snap topical
not tropical knob
lung clinging anew
clangs marvelous
away appoints
paint tavern is par
for the parasite
same gate game
ludic clangs gait
toner to crayon
once believing is
only to say so

carnival
mask magical canonic guano triangular
isthmus baked Calvinist salmon glazed
anglophile so soap sap sewn iko iko on
by palomino mannikin agitates ringers
again neck naked exhales Taino tones
hidden nouns backlit toner even though
tongue-coils salamander to tetrahedron
coils karma carnival chameleon landing
lamp point-pit grit-kit griot and call it quit

poem || Peter Ganick
origin.
1.
site ascetics vidalya motions
whirl-a-gig troubadours
merrily tantrums elevators
pining washer-coats
stereophonic assortments
quixotic extrema
vigilant to english presence.
assortments environs capitulate
intersecting alveoli tone
acidic ritornelli.
bloss feudal mutter
tunnel-hardening blockages
deigned val de martinets
elevators stateless entity
between walls
on once in fabric earlier.
steering pale rhythms
those fleshed oversight
benzene rings activations
whereas flusterer witness
theoretical conniptions
each mannequin assigned
pinto breviaries liberal
tonic statements
those invulnerable consequences
tenants écarté foreign twine
rooftop environs fecklessly abrogated
norm essences wielding
small talk.
2.
tyros veneers pennants windows
various collectives remain
others rerun.
antonyms reveal contortion
wide floribunda
the miscibility
each vectored ousia plummets
vacantly occiput evacuees
thrones additives lemons
gaffes either willful or accidental
nubs offhand images returnees
somewhere deliberative
where scansion peristalsis commentary
oceans deflect networking sous pardon.
contingency permutes vacancy—
stilted nebula ethereal celsius notebooks
ramps ensign renaming
creative artistes ankles mowers—
dowries coronets collations
whither sallow frost
however stalemate ironicizes
motionless amplitude
one settlement watching
earliest greeting skillet.
3.
garuda blot ensemble
lettered environs either
walrus clobber studies
etruscan borealis tanker
shuffle embodied vocality
comparative minor silences
throughput enables
descriptions aslant.
entente volitional curtailment
winsome affect nounal
cobra actor imbalance
third railings elevate moiré vacations
tinctures everest as lucid.
4.
comparatively reclusive thoroughly iconic
site siddhis tentative
listless where agility sports
valves and mirrors.
waiting the awared finesse
rendered zones
articulation cuffed and brought
formalities volumnar indeed
mirrored vacuums throttle ivories
atomic literal curators
entertainments what comparative old hatcheck
cochin outré crabby
noumena stipulator
each vectored sleight
goblin errors density
otherwise no regroup
coupe de villanella
porcelain shavers in subtended lasso
tirades elliptic recurs
what settlements viewers
cadmium streetlamps.
which tags—which tack treasure
stymie torrentous conifers
elemental networking sluice
forded white paper
black ink settee
canoe sturgeon acceleration
while sotto vacancies debut
slacker inverses renovate mirrors
either witnessing amass zones
from carpets
summarize overhauled oppression.
5.
accrete volitional young psalter of mastery
reversion lacunae through iterative melancholy
bower vingt-quatre obelisks
vedette millinery oceans itemize enrichment
tastes remake curtailment once sedimentary
if and only if once slept sweltered awake
from tugging shelter
veneer also patrician
blooded mutinies each vector
ones and twos interpreted vacuum
with fullness expunge
thorough intrepid actions.
compression poof tread ejectile
avails remedy
averaging sluff etiquette
symbolic regurgitated society
neon parameters globules
mitigating selfless willows tented
form as future mitten seldom
relay comparative breadwinner
investing lossless avail
interpretations chapter amidst
versification.
scurry through township
retune calibrated impressions
lyres over lyrics do oppress.
governance threatens elevate remedies
laissez faire vented availing
cheerful vanities curtail
none of the above.
6.
greeting amputations momentarily
treadmills together in original serration
elsewhere parroting
clef ubiquitous demi-monde
site citthern apple
cactus tether evening
scumble relational curiosity
hooped ownerships
either valkyrie celsius thorough
cufflink those retuned attorneys.
mysterium mystic tennis elsewise
premonition cell tide
moot scansion brooked visible
riser fomented band-shirt
vacant scrapple battalion
nit sitting awash vellum
non-echoic freezer rawhide
summation epsilon claret
voucher stipulator yammering
clusters witness surreal ornaments
once data dated mirrors
each lector hambone
striker chooses delight
each winnowed grommet
inkling flash card.
material universe—
weeping salutations
elsewise paucity where
elsewhat environs
those clustering always
promontory each tenuto
listless anarchism noon trait
enables deterrents
acid notebooks eeriest val de mar
haptic standard re rehearsal
ditto chameleon velocity
acme salida bootcamp stiles
where wakeful immersions
bake sheds intractable
in town and their contrasts.

conversations w/marvin #13
on the corner of bdway & mars
across from the church of
TIME SQUARED
( & stardust )
where all the fabulous solidifying
of truthes
occurs
between the late/weights & doning
& sighing & singing
& waiting aftshaft for dinner
marvin graced w/lots of questions
looked absently up at the billboards
read & quietly proclaimed:
" i wouldn't mind if somebody stole my identity."
steve dalachinsky nyc times square 8/18/06
conversations w/marvin # 14
marvin & i went for a dip
in the community pool
as the sky over cast
itself
& one kid kicked the other in the eye
leaning against the pool's side
feeling the water rush in
i heard marvin babble some unutterable muttering
wha' ya say? - i stumbled
"nothing" - he wetly declared - " i was talking to myself
because i'm
such a lucky person."

Subject: conversations w/marvin 1 ( for d.w. & j.b. )
marvin, i say to him,you know the poem's dead -
he's too busy sitting in a shady corner
(one shoe off)
counting his money
it's 7 .pm.
everyone seems to be packing up
for the day
tho there's at least an hr. of sunlight
left.

Subject: Fw: tuna Melt conversations with marvin 2 for jmb
listen marvin,
i said
tunaMelts'
not the thing you should be eating-
bent, sheer headed
streaming ,petrified brief
mister marvin burnt the dainty
fly master & replied,
skull cupped -
yes i
no
dalachinsky after bennett 6/1/6
Subject: Fw: conversations w/marvin 3 for dw again & sb
marvin sighed -
i'm tired of waiting
lad - give me the dough
so i can
go
the patriarch of clutttering
where i began my clocking
career
called me a complete idiot
because i'd been trained to call
a thing a thing
rather than the
"shots"
he asked for
so i got tired of waiting for the dot
like now
so please can i go(t)..
