My Exercise Program

Organic metal flexes,  contortion eradication, steroid pumped, juice blasted, powerful promotion protein, harder, faster. Flowers sparkle, natural organic products fulfilled, excited. Investigate datasheets and magazines, compile techniques for extreme, extraneous performance, driven bench press, locker room door slam, car keep turning, drive out, avoid fast food, straight to the juice bar, liquid nutrients. Terabytes of muscle power, college in & out, snap mega dance loaded into cycling anabolic evil. Entrapment car parks, brown paper bag, shady deals and midnight conclusions. Find electronic and physiological edges, investigate research, technical details and scientific extrapolation. Tear wound injury and recover, try hard, make best to sleep and rest but work and push, sweat, cry metabolic phantasm. Comic gestures of jolly dark inmates, make plays, bottoms firm, round, peachy, towels leave marks, succulent, the needle marks. Loaded on recoil, zoom, pump out speed, velocity, humans become projectiles, become weapons.

haibun || Sheila E. Murphy

She painted fear with one color, then a few. She painted fear with her perfume. In Shalimar. Mere Joy. Resilient blends that crafted back time that would fill the space between the seen and recollective clock face. She wore angora, and the conversation went to young wool, plump wool, she relented after saying she would capture heaven as she'd drawn it freehand. She was teaching us to be afraid of how an unseen enemy might work. She coined the phrase, mastered a contrarian view. She spoke apart from dialect in shock. She said a force would change her, and the story from this point became not good. She warned of the infringement upon youth, despite the tuning of an instrument resembling a line dance. What of the enforcement will be left when we are perfect in the view of shoulder-length beatitudes? The story tries to print itself in prose. An index trying to bespeak the volatility that comes crashing in the dormitory windows where imaginary children fall from lives that do not know them.

 

Wind that needs translators, wind eclipsing plain speech,the way a father speaks in probabilities where parables might be

Teflon Feet

Hurling sips of linear glaze, trained wobblers freeze in mid-fall, scratching out a spare tentacle, bent on wired aquatic certainty. Who can imply the measure of a stolen placemat, urging symptoms to merge in diaphanous uterine wealth? Only the steamy portico’s moth-eaten sweatshop stew, served sewn half-shut, shipped to whirling ermines in a magical crate. Hefting a labeled trench of acidified, nuanced beer, a smiling juggler encodes his thespian lodestone with smooth regatta blues, hyping the operatic jingle’s penultimate jeer with salt and private bookings. Tasty frames of frottage frieze lose emphatic greaser sheen, pealing thunderous empires and ions of deflected birth. Topless manhole spoilers age before diurnal wrenches turn their everlasting wrists, slipping lunchbox brethren a simplified mink rooster for late onset news. Partial onlookers submerge, emptying their final rosters of spit-polish grain, parting with inseam rounders for half the usual exception. Handles feel for offhand tether pets, eking out an umbilical loaf, toiling behind a slavishly held omission. Periodic foibles purge longevity cores, irrigating marginal analysts with aqueous rubber teeth, ringing in the natal pier’s moonlit trust. Trolling doors and ranting enamel truths plaster the driveway’s guesthouse gravel, launching sensorial tonsure into blind gestational travail, whipping turbaned engineers into friend routines, engraved in vented rage. Semaphores prop up textured Mohawks, fluffed with incandescent gel, brooding over tossed and sanded witchcraft moats gone raw. Treasonous acclaim entombs a starry-eyed poltroon, lending holiday heirs to innocent barflies on hiccup patrol, cascading in burnished Teflon feet.

from REFRAINS

 

 

Diminish gainsay, contraction hostile differentiate
Contribute. Grant grief devise abandon, accord convenience adapted convention, rule
Bizarre, aware colloquy jabber mutation retain. Veer communicate felon doubt
Persuade jolly quit icy unite, coordinate scant copy polite, core seclusion
Cadaver stout caution amendment, correspondent differ parallel erode. Edify unsound
Penalty dear garb couch instruction declare tally favor thwart.

False farmland brace fearlessness, plucky route rude graciousness unison cloak. Bargain
Enlargement contradict, congruous opposing likeness deny, contrition sketch submit controversy
Availability troublesome conference regular versed parley metamorphosis plead. Convert
Criminal reliance stern chaperone hysterical attune copious transcript aloof corpse
Impeccable turbulence. 

Evil loss sofa insist, miscalculate visage offset fake nation disjoin. Chivalry weak
Passion uncivil stipulation conceal.

Compact expansion verify paradoxical differ similar donate, complacency doiminate
Conflicting, provide hatch superintend, concord service awkward custom, everyday
Distant talk. Speak modification exchange offender, doubt deter gregarious,
Solemn convoy overwrought.

Support attune meager duplicate, cordial heart dispersion spirit outskirts lean aggravate,
Chaos correlative degrade, penalty dress insight enumerate, encouragement
Counterbalance forbid. Bogus forest attach daring route, rude courtesy
Difference shield.

Lengthen shortening confute, consistent, perverse. Discriminate stubborn bestow
Plot. Accessibility handy exotic reserved discussion conversion, convict reliance 
Dissuade convivial quit, cool combine match meager prototype ardent rim.

Seclusion soul punish chubby emend scrupulous worth, loveseat committee 
Declare conjecture favor thwart spurious disconnect intrepidity cowardly advance, 
Rudeness stipulation hide treaty. 

Shrink tractable discriminate withhold invent, spout incredulity exhort allied sanctify
Miscalculate prowess mask.

Bark

girl is the memory
flowing spacious
tread disturbed
my fallen one

commotion not called
smooth centered difference
leaden boots
violent sun

jarring, wrought warm
weeks on the moon
country & western seconds
delightful Edith returned

she meditates you
begging, returning vision
bell tap fire
rented to magnificence

infuriate witty object
candle or a room
delicate night
different, wildly, smoke

the vast you
ever changing forms
bark, just short moments
blackened winter

Tyranny

taken in
brim soft
sky's flesh falls off
wide and rich
arisen against the stillness
behold the moment
write nothing
shut behind strangest eyes
side-door opened, great, hands and heart
handkerchief words
your laughter
rushed standing ajar
animal style
jackals pale
drawing the moonlight
distant beautiful fill
deposited
fearful chains
melancholy fire
tenderness trembled
tyranny in strange sorry blue

haibun || Sheila E. Murphy

Before much else occurs, I place my hands upon the ciphers,

and I pry away the adages that each may tremble into. As if

a vacuum holds the most persuasive draw. This morning,

yesterday's gray cast has been replaced by moderato yellow

light. Ways to plant the thought of now into some future moment slip into the current capabilities I think are here. With the rectangular appearance of the hours, available

momentum taps into the willingness I lead toward easier,

deliberate fresh water that will weigh something. I take a

leave of absence from centrifugal force, also. The handsome

waylaid tasks embrace me back, because I say so. If a dowry,

then a human being to match. The zither of abundant music

lands to shift the psyche. How I want to table nothing. And

the land, the waves, all ways of going nowhere, while the

distance can be brought home toward inherent fact.

Campsite, mountains, bowl, the fingering for high C on

a flute reputed to be platinum

Sheila E. Murphy

poem || John M. Bennett

Sole Dadas chunk 24

Transduced from Góngora's Soledades, 1614

The scolds of sol arrayed, wandered

     with reamers gemmy doors

where those puds appeared past scores,

nuts all mirrored, of candy, frying.

Riesling in the butts, no, mass bland’s

the verdant rubber, which embarqued is whored,

     and salutes the vile Aurora,

who’s one in all dulcet cages, and not puking,

Hondas endured, and liquid rocks.

Signs mute the dulcet voice of dollars

     permitting solvents in

all the turbans, which dare question voices

of she who anchors the fecund hay,

pissing the crystal fool with pie’s velocity,

salad’s improv, the under and over played

the Republicans detested, unstable plunder.

     The prow diligent ah

nor soiled the digestive opposites drilling,

mass reductions of the music’s barking,

which in closed curves dulls mirror’s stalled briefs,

shushed plumbers’ graves, shushed the porches’ leaves.

The scenes occupied the dull mayor’s lain

     maritime troop,

     usual all enter, toads,

squatting, unless seen courtesy’s mode

of languid dull acqua, rude scores

cum nostril’s forest, in which the poop’s

dull corner’s scolded bagel began.

Crawled, the undies scarce, foiled;

east, with perished moviment,

the mirror encounters, coiled in spume cane

     sub pardner’s gruel prow,

     resplendent coiled

hatchet of august’s coy perusal,

and quim hill’s sure tribute centered

     with pearls of’s cod-like hour.
