phone batch #3

[automatictommy]

the car is shaking
intermittently
like it's cold.

----------------------------------------------

Bill Evans, through and through,
solves the birthday blues -

or at least understands.

and then i saw a bumper sticker:

"the hole in the ozone
is related to the hole in your..."

It was right above her tailpipe.

-----------------------------------------------

the silhouetted tree looks like
a face cut from stone against the moon
so bright it could heat these homes
a lasting lunar lament is
melting the cement -

get out your wooden shoes,
souls melt too!

-----------------------------------------------

the doors to the library were
held open like ghosts of
everything anyone's ever learned to
everything everyone's ever known.

-----------------------------------------------

i'm trying my hardest
not to be so definitive -

not cap every one of your comments with
conclusion. it's the intrusion of my opinions
not everyone wants.

i'm not as wise
as i once thought.

---------------------------------------------

i watched a stone angel
flap
it's wings and
fly
away.
