I’m standing twelve feet in from
where the tide usually stops
and comes back from the sand.
Twice now, a middle-aged omni-tailed
seahorse gnashed in circles
around my christened bucket meant for vomiting.
There are sickles in each of my hands
and my feet are more naked
than a podium virgin in an audience of a hundred.

The scenery in imagination
closely resembles that of an ancient city
with a blue log house at the edge of town.
A philosopher with a green head
bellows and hums, carries a paper sack
full of sunflower seeds. The day
is full of lapses. Fire in our atmosphere
is less a carnival act than
it is in the shufflings of focus.
A tuna in the other paper sack.

It is nighttime now and ¾ of all insects
are nursing on filmy paralysis.
Olive trees get potty trained by moonlight.
It’s all Greek to me, said the Italian,
painting his latest rendition of hell.
