allegro filters 

vanish through the carwash

          impresarios return

   an              effort

empty             by

chance        design

            to wilt

in the vagaries hatch

the crescendo avocado myth

to the sample

                       audience cage

a modem rehearsing in cursive

              *

any protrusion 

less than elegant

         reverts     to     script

         according      to        type

                                    

                                  faced

     an audio 

         liter bottle

             new screws            attached

                membranes shattered

decibel recurrence              glass

as chronic problem             memories

a tonic can resolve              pitch

                  sound fragments

               to find

                          and font

                                        a front

         that intones a reason for its back

I'd like to thank Stephen Williams for publishing three of my poems in his magazine, DEAD SNAKES.

Vernon Frazer is in / On Barcelona

ON BARCELONA has just published my poems “Nerve Ending and “Mirroring the Current Reflection” at http://onbarcelona.blogspot.com. I would like to thank Halvard Johnson for his

continuing support of my work.

Speaking of Barcelona, I recently read a critical work about Apollinaire and Barcelona's visual 

poets from 1914-28. Looking at their work, it appears that my texto-visual poetry would have found 

a home with them or perhaps advanced their efforts in some way.

Maybe there's something to be said about creating your own ancestors as your work moves forward.

New Poetry in SUGAR MULE

I'm pleased to announced that Felino Soriano has published a huge collection of my textual poems in the latest SUGAR MULE. Aside from my pleasure at seeing my own work presented so well, I also highly recommend your reading the compelling work of Michelle Greenblatt, Matina Stamatakis, Mat Margo and Peter Ganick. I'm proud to be included in such great company.

Some Days You Just Have To Say Fuck It

Visions of Magic Unfilled

anterior vagaries 
amniotic centrifuge the play
of crystal dynamos 

flaring vague against a smoking sky

intrusions melt their rhythmic

delays parcel infusion cradle

placenta dreaming after birth

cadenzas deploy the radial surges

auguries of posterior replay

innocence or ramps of lamb 

seat dinner songs and rests

delay slow breath

when flayed canticle keepers

display a grimmer animus

toward incursions left to spell too long

Talking Big Till Conclusion

craven epistemology bluster
dilettantes encourage sapling 
flow unheeded where torrents 
flay costly misjudged ramble flats
when gender contests quorum
a seated filler judge whose tacit
infusion bleeds welter sonata cling
to factoid gamblers at the wheel
spinning red to black and back
elliptical soda panthers loosen 
braided runner epithets finishing
rupture to luster its vanishing pit
idylls where pimentos vasectomy
the gene-splicing nutrient power 
beans pithed in helmet bowels
of the girth assembled roaring
pits across the pendulum ferry
no poem indicted in its fiction
ebbing watered crescent limbs
where being meets its non- 
in hyphenated cluster matches
lusting for a longer line in time
whatever show they can muster
however slowly lumber crusts
the membrane saturated after
the taciturn assembly crossed
raving frontier lime panthers 
complicit loans on liminal time
frame assembled brackets charge
dermal limbo packets the node
for lymph infringement seeding
optical influenza viewed apertures
moving above coded perimeters
rounded by beer guard aprons
in force or out of furlough pay
where kitchen help disquiets
the catatonic element gonads 
stationed aficionado plucking
impinges on empires to display 
their vintage dissuasion plan 
a play last gathered left to sit
on a plane in a delay terminal
braving elemental discord footage
where applicable raving greets
the savage weather mongers 
heeled to taste vestigial greeting
as a thirst-mark venture left
unsaid after the muted outcome

Old Futures Inching to History

catheter hipsters ignite
a pain saga long dormant
upends the skittering

amontillado fillers 
tumble through the night 
hunting 

the skillet blazers 
outwitting their distilled legends

while wary cursors blink process
mendicant pistoleros

fight for a hardcore lambada
tenuous fortune mannequins
stricken as the limbo brigade

glowing so low 
they stumble despite the flare 

of flaming music
whose blinding blare quickens

the pace creeping toward the mandala

Wintering Discontent

neon diphthong plasma templar
formal cats below the surfeit
feral entrails notwithstanding
lissome girder reflux passage 
rendered sterile output settlers 
reprimand enabling dilettantes 
to discover fuselage counters 
at subnormal rumination levels 
implosion bricks at the surface 
engine declensions lost track 
searching for precision nouns
verbing the action thrillers past 
a nonchalant detection wiper 
patterning the nattering chorus
carpal subtonal diffusion clings
to brooding ties as a bar strategy 
blinking cocktails moon decay 
flattens prospectors sorting pyrite
left to gravel pans a gavel’s heft
normal though proclaiming clarity 
doldrums shelled beyond horizon 
the plural intentions of steamboat 
philosophies delay the motorcade’s 
long panegyric wrenching modality 
conflicts nodal aperture wagons 
moving all the alabaster patrons 
past their due time spent scuttling 
prey to python intermission dens 
pitted against new modular scales
while forking tongues greet scams
the travel hefts the menu in delay 
to fronton circuits lobed enough 
to mind the stored matter’s energy 

from one refreshed cliche another

renewal less deadened with green 
clatter horns envy yowling breakage 
bumps grumbling through the night
a horror to scents around leaflets
burgeoning scaffold patterns at sea
calypso veritas windings portrayed
throughout the garbanzo vernacular
no global warning of the slither word
coming through the coping portal
adamantine strictures running slope
embargoes where the weary hatchet 
fled the cargo fleet stumbling numbly
cultivates ellipsis gardens for frosting
ardent legends seek urban homes
to hold neatly-fashioned splashes
the core warren where tables multiply 
heliocentric renditions of deficit dinners 
octagonal root suppliers ratify hutches
floating packets wine gap wrapping
concealed hunches from the vesicle 
parting the wall crunches to bevel
crossed haunches launching a stir
among the stenches of jostled fabric
stirring residual declamation scars
dominion-ready apertures disregard
cuspidor removal tantrums growing
sapient ventilation rockers unpacked
belongings under water removal hoses
racked for any fuselage interpretation
mustered under piquant uplift shears
refractory lighting no custard matter
flustered right where the eminent pall
cast off thousands formerly regarded
as dispensation for adders puffing 
moccasin tablets to spoon addicts
dripping leather-veined catacombs
brachiating a  fractured melody loom
spinning cartilage mimicry casings
wherever stolen luminaries hide gold

Today's Reading

On Storm Day

while diversion

rebuked its weathered breath 

a lukewarm seat

spins inverted

across an arboreal replay

*

neon feathers dream 

a late-waking lassitude incumbent

past a breaking dawn 

that bled new platform laminate

repute imperiled the passion-dead 

version repeating delay the storm 

*

plaster invasion tissues

grate a ductile reprimand 

impaired awnings flare

shrieks of metal shred 

through fronds of palms

on polyrhythm winds

*

the fashion imbued

cortical dismay with critical heat

unclaimed sutures arm 

the threat with a cross blown wind

Farming Out

tractor animals

knead the landscape

*

beggars past due 

seek privilege pronouncement 

at the diamond core 

a heart freed from animus

occult as a true tanker fetish

enumerates the night’s felt heat

against a fenced enclosure

*

surrogate merchants

experience for sale as rent

a lonesome purpose less applied

a memory 

written in days to come

undone

*

on land whose cattle bleat as sheep

What Was There When There Was

a casually cure-all bandana fixation

branding no cultural fritters allowed

needs coral deportment proceedings

to strike up a mannered stiletto band

posturing brambled doubloon regrets

molded blue as a stochastic holding

the golden gamblers bet the oddly

discursive fundaments a revelation

for the house indulging the scored 

privilege tanking under loose gesture

intended to refute button smashers

where their velcro lives fix the most

pandering attachments to suitcase

vouchers underscored the data mix

when solarium tenets decried vulgar

focaccia enclaves kneading help

rising from a context void of tomato

clearance receptors or roster checks

encumbered pestilence retractions

center on remedial clairvoyance sales

folded away from voyeur-toned flesh

inhabitants marked for regurgitation 

spill crying milk across tabloid crowns

while stationary mixtures purified all

tablet scars molded around billiard

scraps labeled eight-ball modem

fries encapsulated dowager bars

in fat vacuums packed for breathing

captive intention gasses outwardly

consumed with traction pits enacting

bitter resumes achieving impact

of vapor premises an under-reaction

stapled to vests short on tact or rayon

or fact imposed on ritual fur packs

ripening millennium harvest implants

before the best promises break back

porcelain reaction follies at a cubicle

onslaught left to mark its own deletion

cresting against halcyon breast bouquets

as a managed entry-level position slants

vertebrae four-fold across plier heads

open-jawed for inanimate nutrition fests

or a slackened buttress fortune waived

goodbye to all that matter of factoid

presence as an absence gone missing

Waking It Up

a concise detour

normal deathbeds added

on every step the donkey head

spit its low compendium murmur

distaff added for trance effect

a spindle that forced concern 

*

returning emblems

steel their fate behind rudder claims

no clamor left yearning

when their ferocity avails

defective padding bands

that source their coarse pursuit

beyond a modular stirring

*

manifold statements 

fuel omissions when tanked

élan believers thrive

on gases laughed 

when glad-handing near friends

Rebranding the Cavendish

an amphora cadenza 

renounced its mercurial grommets

when boring plenary futures

proclaimed new furor

to sea urchins pounding

cataleptic to shore

amorphous venereal anecdote teasers

upended the untamed muting 

reversing the mores that lessons teach

while the breached anomalies 

straddled through epiphany gardens

before their factored henchmen 

could replay the gardening fruition 

search among the mounting pocket

lessens that teach the more 

Provisional Certainty at the Counter

broken pizza futures 

cut loose their enamel

panels imperil repair

figurines tarnish

worn aspirations of the emblematic

brought to a drifting shore

despairing where minimal 

resounding calls a castoff 

last given 

enema tokens when redressed

no forwarding 

to the next address

no token circuit

linked to channel 

garnish with cheese 

splicing dramatic vinyl 

isotopes gouge the fury 

easy as infusions portend

conclusions remain, pending

Racking the Spices

a scream

for better paramecia

scrapes

the toothless shore of a begging sea

*

vindaloo purchase restored

the hyphen-danger risk renewed

wagers bet across dried water

no candle left to light

the shoreline window’s slow death

*

the bored dream

spice and wet flavors

whether the dice cross on relay

or legless rumors

withholding their master's ease

in the rail booth

*

cells divide enigma

leaving clarity or search

for other

to flavor the pan’s burning oil
