murder on greenmount (treasure box of rocks)

this is a dirge for some one loved others unloved
you were old and broken necked washing in with the surf
you were a middleaged son on the street bleeding out
you were hustling then flying skullfirst into a banquet corridor floor
you were the fearful trigger child
you or ford or chevy drove the pickup truck
there was some other thing
you pickedup a whole fucking lot

(tyrone servance jr was murdered on greenmount avenue just south of thirty first street in 2016)

virtual address at sunrise
(the city paper started becoming the beat in 2017)

sleight of glock

someone wrapped a gloved hand around his ungloved hand and weapon
gloved hands all round
like someone locking inside locks from outside
who would have seen is no one
someone hold his bleeding head in your lap
wipe their blood off a ceramic floor
some one every one
here the last chunk of dried blood on our fingers
refuse to war
refuse
war

toward bennett place at sunrise
(found evidence supports a theory sean suiter committed suicide in bennett place in 2017—the war machine that caged him reacted in an angry thuggish swarm of human rights violations, teeming lost in the smog of a lost war)

drinking mean well (summary by yoda)

inventing our selves community
numberable parts animal
numberable machine
numberable pieces growing green
onlysomany atomic
(fusion fission inevitable it seems)

tent city and tubman city at sunrise
(tent city and tubman city shared their struggle in the center of the city in 2017, demanding freedom to live in community on our planet with space to invent and share a reasonable portion of what the sun provides, rather than being completely subjected to what others invent—the city continues to bulldoze such communities)

medi c/t ate

many times great god mother
walking calmly toward center
in a maze assembled over one thousand years
gathering oxygen to core
winds around
gathering oxygen to core
works out
gathering oxygen to core
switches forever

center of wellness at sunrise
(erricka bridgeford prompted every one to be mindful of the violence in and around them, organizing a ceasefire that started in 2017 and continues)

you die i’ll eat (unbridged)

in spite of our insignificance the fiery trial to the next generation stormy present enthrall our no democracy


devotion not perish

earth.

president street station at sunrise
(the baltimore symphony orchestra performed a lincoln portrait a month after oligarchs managing northern asia assumed executive control of the united states in 2017)

endura folks

darker rings
how many one chances to resist decay
starwaste or anthropolymer
absorbing stress response
precipating enzyme
until the forest entire burns
perhaps seeds after

united states district court at sunrise
(in 2017 thirteen baltimore residents were arrested for protesting against fascism in washington dc, an enclave of the united states without full representation, and prosecuted in dc to support fascist government policy and fascist government operations)

collateral collective insanity

any one
any pain
broken toe holding on to dying in arms
walk in walk out
script
my friends
one less war
or dont we need some one here

coroner at sunrise
(in 2016 fentanyl became the leading cause of overdose death in maryland—bodies are counted at the office of the chief medical examiner on baltimore street—tompetty is going to open for prince on tour next year)

row mytopia

body of prisoner restless seizing breathless on shore
light on water quiet and slow
dripping from the oar
toward a tunnel out there an island
a kiss in a short and happy dream

rowing on the Patapsco at sunrise
(in 2016 the city began investing half a billion dollars to build out the dream of a clothing manufacturer to grab shoreline and profit from leasing office, residential, and retail space)
