like how they build sail boats inside bottle


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
