Anticipating “wants” like a dressmaker;
some vital experientialist with the elixir of life,
too sensitive for critics. I grit and never bare it,
but stare at it instead, to control the heart
of man, one needs th’melodies that make
one o’ercome ...Read more | Posted by DerrickTyson | Comments

Burt Lancaster-swagger with dilated pupils,
thanks to the eye doctor. “Is your vision
blurred yet?” I am subject to folk-lore, like
sludgy grease-patches where a Captain
once sat, smiling, breathing down his
brethrens’ throats. Nightfall is like a ...Read more | Posted by DerrickTyson | Comments

In the night I stand
so that the moon is behind me,
and it is as if Orson Welles
is peering over my shoulder.

Nostalgia barks at me sometimes louder
than a monk’s silence Today slipped on
my own words Oil spots on the tongue the
way the moon has hung and hung and
hung in the sky like a heavy jar full of
stained glass holding the universe’s milk
Pale eyes ...Read more | Posted by DerrickTyson | Comments

“The good
government site
with teeth.”
With teeth,
they preach.
Do not expect
a vogue, nor a
boudoir courtesy,
like disrobing
the poem
(mutilations,
deformations),
but perhaps do,
and I can think
of several ways

Comehither, O rain! Loose ends, covered
in the plateau. Today, my soul
is overflowing with picturesque friction.
If I peeled it back like trace paper,
many words would be revealed like
frantic insects hidden under a worn tree stump.

Yesterday was Pre-historic.
I didn’t see it with special glasses.
1969-2009: 40th anniversary of first ATM Machine.
1969. Also the year of airplane hijacks
and the year that Larry Lewis set a new
world’s record for runners in the

Is “often” a word you seldom use?
A contemporary ear.
I feel my brain in my heart —
unremitting surveillance.
Sharp points. Someone place my finger
-prints in a sealed envelope.
I wish that I was that pitcher getting his
head rubbed with a wet, ...Read more | Posted by DerrickTyson | Comments
