AS SEEN BY DISCIPLINESB

There they areC
Thirty at the cornerD
Black raw readyE
Sores in the cityE
that do not want to healF

THE LEADERSG
-
-
Jeff Gene Geronimo And BopH
They cancel cure and curryE
Hardly the dupes of the downtown thingI
the cold bonbonJ
the rhinestone thing And hardlyE
in a hurryE
Hardly Belafonte KingI
Black Jesus Stokely Malcolm X or RapK
Bungled trophiesL
Their country is a Nation on no mapK
-
Jeff Gene Geronimo and BopH
in the passionate noonJ
in bewitching nightM
are the detailed men the copious menJ
They curry cureN
they cancel cancelled images whose ConcertsO
are not divine vivacious the different tinsP
are intense last entries pagan argumentQ
translations of the nightM
-
The Blackstone bitter bureausR
bureaucracy is footloose edit fuseS
unfashionable damnations and descentT
and exulting monstrous hand on monstrous handU
construct strangely a monstrous pearl or graceV

GANG GIRLSW
-
A RangeretteU
-
-
Gang Girls are sweet exoticsX
Mary AnnJ
uses the nutrients of her orientU
but sometimes sighs for Cities of blue and jewelY
beyond her Ranger rim of Cottage GroveZ
Bowery Boys Disciples Whip Birds willA2
dissolve no margins stop no savory sanctitiesX
-
Mary isX
a rose in a whiskey glassX
-
Mary sX
Februaries shudder and are gone AprilsX
fret frankly lilac hurries onJ
Summer is a hard irregular ridgeB2
October looks awayC2
And that s the YearD2
Save for her bugle loveE2
Save for the bleat of not obese devotionJ
Save for Somebody Terribly Dying underD
the philanthropy of robins Save for her RangerD
bringingI
an amount of rainbow in a string drawn bagF2
Where did you get the diamond Do not askG2
but swallow straight the spirals of his flaskG2
and assist him at your zipper pet his lipsX
and help him clutch youH2
-
Love s another departureD
Will there be any arrivals confirmationsX
Will there be gleaningG2
-
Mary the Shakedancer s childU
from the rooming flat pants carefully peers atU
her laboring loverD
Mary Mary AnnJ
Settle for sandwiches settle for stocking capsX
for sudden blood aborted carnivalY
the props and niceties of non lonelinessX
the rhymes of LeaningG2
