		+
		+	==The Mindless Winter==
		+
		+	There was once a mindless winter
		+	which consumed the tops of houses
		+	and the street-cars bustling to and fro
		+
		+	and any who attended to it
		+	found their ploughs confounded
		+	their shovels blunted by the persistent blizzard
		+
		+	of the mindless winter; many theorized
		+	about the cause of the storm,
		+	the course it might run,
		+
		+	what conclusion might follow,
		+	roughly the same line of questioning
		+	that was considered
		+
		+	before the winter, which was mindless,
		+	and, unaware of itself, remained
		+	perched on the world as a vast Lammergeier.
		+	01.12.09
		+
		+	==The Diploic==
		+
		+	One must have a mind of gray matter
		+	to survey in a panorama
		+	a sequence of moments
		+
		+	and a pair of sleepy peepers
		+	to perceive the unfolding
		+	without noticing any interruptions
		+
		+	in continuity; yet always be pointing out
		+	the irony of it all,
		+	the opposing meanings,
		+
		+	which is the way of meanings
		+	to oppose
		+	something that may also be
		+
		+	for the diploic, who see with two eyes,
		+	and, doubling themselves, see
		+	something there, and something else that is there also
		+	01.13.09
		+
		+	==Oscar==
		+	Oscar had a fist of fingers.
		+	I forget the particulars
		+	of his hand and adjoining man.
		+
		+	He was not old long
		+	when he grasped unfamiliarity,
		+	the ability to see freshness in the face
		+
		+	of a visiting lover; and there were
		+	other things, some of great importance,
		+	there were things he told me,
		+
		+	this was something he did
		+	by manipulating muscles in his throat,
		+	which was also a tube for feeding
		+
		+	the man, who anyway you look at it
		+	and, looking himself, found
		+	it much easier to learn than unlearn.
		+	01.14.09
		+
		+	==The lump==
		+
		+	The octopus and wriggly tendrils
		+	must have chosen shapes from the knots and snags
		+	of your flaxen hair
		+
		+	and the stillest of lumpy things
		+	are humbled by your pile of limbs
		+	when you recover
		+
		+	from a night of drinking; yet this lump
		+	has forgotten the yogurt again
		+	on the anniversary of your birth,
		+
		+	which is all you asked me for
		+	on your birthday,
		+	for you love yogurt as much as I
		+
		+	detest it, which may be why it was forgotten,
		+	this lump asks forgiveness for
		+	emptiness and misplaced remembrances
		+	01.15.09
		+
		+	==Exposure==
		+
		+	Stomach sacks, a briny vintner,
		+	twenty yards of cloth from the couch
		+	of a kindly locksmith’s home
		+
		+	then imagine being frozen solid
		+	your bone and living marrow switched to ice
		+	your gooseflesh stretched
		+
		+	across a frozen core; and another thing
		+	there’s someone in the room with you,
		+	inhabiting the space between your skin
		+
		+	and the infinite,
		+	it’s a composite man
		+	with his many brain stems all thinking at once
		+
		+	about breathing, digesting and the like,
		+	but you are a snowman and behold
		+	none of it; you haven’t the metabolic processes.
		+	01.16.09
		+
		+	==Planet X==
		+	Pluto, the planet added to account for
		+	perturbations in Neptune’s orbit,
		+	is now not a planet
		+
		+	and the discrepancy that led
		+	to discovery is not thought of
		+	as perturbation, but as overstatement
		+
		+	in Neptune’s mass; and the people involved,
		+	who longed to discover,
		+	did what worked in the past
		+
		+	they looked into empty space
		+	for years at points
		+	where their miscalculations
		+
		+	converged, but the whole affair is now
		+	known to be nothing more than chance
		+	passing of telescope and hellish world
		+	01.17.09
		+
		+	==The Goodly Visitor==
		+
		+	Welcome are the goodly visitors
		+	who remove their shoes at the flat
		+	of the door-mat damp with snow
		+
		+	and turn up slightly later
		+	than expected, as is expected,
		+	yet apologize for it
		+
		+	for they are gracious; and do not drink
		+	of wine, partake of food, or converse
		+	thoughtlessly, but instead
		+
		+	consider each thing,
		+	weighing honesty and
		+	pleasantries equally
		+
		+	for the hosts, who are novice,
		+	and, occasionally disastrously, invite
		+	their comrades to supper.
