California thirsts
for a new sweat market,
spine-sided hills in fig,
wild vines sprung
over the radiographer's
screen memory.
Quilted blinds July
themselves in
toxic abatement,
catering gasoline to
schists aswerve slow
curves pursed up
the scene beneath--
stropper boy, measuring
yelps at vented steel,
appliance cut to size.
Bring bag and apple
alibis former house
keeper struck legally
dumb, her single whiff
garbage green
under a wet note,
five centuries of crap
handle-yanked from the slot.
Damns you to come back,
revenant of drivetime play,
feather games nettled
mute dock--photo
rectified this sudsy
halter braved on 9 news,
mothballed old salience
on sunset slab.
