billy cancel poetry
seems i have eaten my welcome
by billy cancel
illegible tempo which matters in terms
of context Formal Generosity phasing
out to HARSH ABSTRACTION where
fried dried swept to
the side i’ll long to go
pluck an orchid will
it be The Different
Landscape if i make a
bottle confess? zip
screwball energy
courtesy of
fire berries puts a crazy snarl on my
face as i retort “someone
has made my
mouth so
much
smaller”
DIRTY PUZZLE you are my Hobby Horse
who walked into Great Affection carrying
a Lazy Man’s load who has been so
entertaining thoughtful throughout
this whole series of displacements
delays. maybe when we come into
my Yorkshire Estate McMansion
Big House Upon Forever Green
Pasturage shall i produce a sense
of depth perhaps adifferent set
of tensions to brain it around
& chew the Scenery within a
similar scale looser grid soft
dolled up lighting that fits the
beat florid complexities short
commercials that kind of
Programming. yeah let’s make
Rough Music until we’re blocked
at both ends.
