from David Perry--


Raw Triplets from Titan


Santa head pen holder
is not alive
I have an idea

of the ochre frame
by a trellis fence &
olive, with the edge

then, and what
of settlers and Maoris
inside the pane forming

by which I perceive
Thursday, January 20
block print of a Mayan

the passing day
within the outside
on a bicycle, brass

random and not
as it usually is
organic goo, the methane

house with rust trim
of a backboard visible
the pane bisected

to hold it, cold
worm to the sun
light, I see

liquid and caught
one is moved
about life, until

data until dead
to tell us something
and too late, crossing

the clear goo, slow
a red truck cut
and giving the future

the perspective
and the instruments
don’t crowd me

seas and this is what
warps radically, its
of intersection: glass

senses working
wonderfully, sending
camel censer on a chain

wooden insurgent
window in mid-flow
gas for a present

today: all data
all this clear enough
burning up past

safe landing
7:35 a.m. – 8:21 a.m. KCMO
branches smear

raw triplets from Titan
valuable about our
nosing into the near

signifying nothing
one does and moves
when we’re not looking:

my eyes at the plain
solar system place
corner of a garage

by the trunk
be the same whatever
sure of our definition

with us in it, pure
the house behind it
too soon in the glass
