Vernon Frazer - Three Poems

***
1. A History as Processed



a spank vacancy 
after valediction rumors
vale past
               polygon advisors

     the throwback
     stamping a sinecure
              for

  curb              baffling reflexes
 mope             preparing delusion
               to
    a noon carapace

                *

velvet rookie reprobate clones rut

     redeeming the thoraxes
     a decimated vegetation panorama

               appealed
               the dialectics

when a hard pedal endorsement
tailgates retread verbatim artiste

                         no flame-thrower regatta
                         to oil its enrollment radar

                *

when velvet clods
reprimand simulation ecology
a maximum synthetic

                 idiom stopwatch flies 
                 diagonal seam technologies
                             no reciprocity

        vegan wrappers refute         oiling
        eastward chili                        the
               pang                    anterior enmities
        embankment
                                    breaking

                         among baffling reflexes

2. Live from the Rally



icon viewer
with cultural firearm 
                  lowered

bartered 
the slipcover grammarian   

     a sly simulacrum 
     vaunted as pencilled bromide

          the empty outplay
          to a well-bent lecturer
          steaming frequency

                   from every supplicant

                     *

the latrines failed
the drive-in lumberjack

          a madwoman rummaging

     every futon                        shore’s habitat
     buttonholes bereft             a noose heater
                                  greeting   

     grater demagogues warming tragicomedies

                     *

the plated shading 
glimpsing past therm

     a radio faded starlet 
     unfolding current vigor forever 

                                    a worn decision
                        stolen
      sepulchral 
                                   ranking tumid
         a spectral reign

                       grows in the amphitheater

3. Too Stone to Move



motor fossils
undulate       a blimp trajectory
        surface bloom

caught looming on a lurid curve

     empty

              at every angle

                        *

phonographic filming therapy
sounds its view
                         to the unspoken wary

          measured
          against the pace of slow attack

revolving
               around a good year
                                                turning

back to wall
                    glyph
                             shouting 

              blind

                       from chiseled depths
