a seagull by the name of benny and the jets
his friends call him
heard off the shores of the great peninsula
mountains and timber float
great fish today in his mouth already benny was hungry
all the naked people by the water

a guitar player with crazy hair
a short chubby hawaiian playing bongo fever
with his hands he will grow into magical picnic table where at night grizzled beard man will sleep
___________________________________________
invasion of the lighthouse gnomes (from dream sequence)
with voices like montana ranch gate for horses slap flies with tail and metallic wind
the way in movies just before the sun makes big
plaid stencil of family in peril
to cover chest, limbs
archaic face
inside empty ice box lies large furry creature
stuffed with cotton and red boxing glove attached to each hand
this is my stuffed animal friend
the one i bring with me to feel at home

the center ring of a large pine tree
cut low to the earth surrounding nearby
with sand, stone and empty plastic
a sculpture of a man holding a fish with no mouth (the man)
salt along his cheeks
slowly enveloped the wind
