J. D. Nelson - Five Poems

1
diamond grip push-ups


were it ten
tons, this Auraria
train


I’d need the warp
to get the sun


chores for
hurt warden


wrapped around you
like a year of moths



***

2
danderklee the eventual yes


pistachios
pianos
particles
aesop


rivery styx to pick up plainly
wearing watermelon shoes


them beatles
were they on the moon too



***

3
all over everything like the word


I made it rain in the diorama earth


water ghost was like a blue sheet on the line
the red sheet was a mad plaid


a new duck!
we shall call him bethlehem


water ghost was all over the lake like fireworks



***

4
spurk live bell you’ll groan


remembering the money & to stop and get it
ok I am rich so what now let’s do everything


went back for more chip & dip


too loose on earth & the money was gone
oh well this is another fine day to know nothing



***

5
bitten by a horse fly


welcome to violent atlantis
I am a shoe


is that a flavor
sometimes


especially when it’s dark-dark
& the lightning is pink or blue
