- Shrinks
- shaking in my armpit clock
- scattered lung chunks trace of
- phone foam you laundered stubs
- and links flailing cube missile
- drops into the suprematism pool
- ah baloney streaking on the
- sill !)the red box crushed
- beneath yr ladder’s feet swallowed
- mud tool steam escapes your
- back ash vents the sky
- dust runt sandwich kept between
- your thighs why flood dreamer
- ?the door shrinks ,your shoe
- plate clanking whistle pressed against
- your chest closet )gummy mouth((
- shore the rains play inching
- past your ear your vacuum
- ticking breathing afflatus strummed yes
- tonguing on the strings !yr
- rump and cold cut capered
- …towel ahead ,crunch ,yr bicep\
- cinder ,clinker on the driveway
- where yr gravel flickers and
- a weed wall murmurs ah
- surf crumpled in my throat !
- John M. Bennett
- shaking in my armpit clock
