If you live without Shakespeare, Chaucer is some consolation.

Dead Toys
He placed
the
toy
at the
end of the shelf.
That was
it.
There
was no
more room. What next?
Return them.
There's
an
idea. Take
them to the graves.
Set them
against
the
stone or
lay on the slab.

Eggs
He placed each egg
carefully in the
carton and slid
the
carton onto
the bottom shelf
and closed the
refrigerator door hoping the
cold
would slow
down the obsession contained
in each egg
and
the closed
door keep each
obsession confined should each
manage to break
from its egg.
This
method worked
better than sealed boxcars
and was less
objectionable.

Now
where to go what to do next the oceans rise up to meet us and kick us away, push us further up the beach and up the mountains we never knew or thought they could climb that high but there you have it. The ocean is on the mountain and I don't mean like I mean on this is is no metaphor, no, the is something astonishing something never before seen at least by humans though perhaps it had happened before like millions of years ago. What if all the world was mountainous once and the ocean came and smashed everything down, and not the other way around?

How many times must they go
through that same set of gates
and mow that
same lawn? Landscaper's
lives are hard.

Riverwalk
Then they walked along the
river. There were dead
things there, and garbage, and
living things seeking
to find the sun above.
This river was always this way,
she said. Since she
was a little girl she
walked along picking
up bottles to collect deposits.

Once in the driveway he spilled
out of the car, coffee
in hand, cigarette
held high, precariously
balanced on heels

Arbella (days go by)
When
in the course of human events
human
events go by
when
days go by in the course
of
human events days go by.
When
in the course of human events
we
the people in order to form
a
more perfect union go by days go by
we
the people form a more perfect union.
When
in the course of human events
our
forefathers brought forth on this continent
a
new nation days go by under a proposition
that
we the people form a more perfect union.
When
in the course of human events
dimly
seen through the mists of the deep
the
foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes
to
form a more perfect union days go by.
When
in the course of human events
it
is altogether fitting and proper
that
we should do this fitting and proper
that
we should do this as days go by,
When
in the course of human events
we
go to establish a city on a hill
a
beacon we establish a beacon
as
days go by it is fitting and proper.
When
in the course of human events
it
is fitting and proper and a dream that this
nation
will rise up and live out the true
meaning
of its creed as days go by.

What the dying man said.
Let's cut the preliminaries
and get right down
to it. I haven't
got all day.
and get right down

After William Gass
The chores are my clock
I had always thought that
was turmoil and confusion. Let us leap
I have wrestled. But this bug
and there is a fierce joy
beggars every other, for its joy
