Transmat Station

after school lets out

solar flare

new arrivals disoriented

and outlandish

evolution lecture next week

again

don't worry
over the big things
get the frisbee

our legacy

mapping the limits

of those once called human

worlds with roaches

those institutional walls

his android concubine
thought only of his welfare
she kept him safe

ALL the lines?

I give you
one hour a day
in every worldline

doan hole yer breat'

a moment
the event horizon
never comes

egg day

in your face
grape-nuts man
I can leap over your bowl
faster than a flapjack
flaps

but you'll BE sorry

reincarnation
means never getting to say
you're sorry

evolution lecture series starts up again

lecture on development and the evolution of the mind in Tuscaloosa October 7 http://uanews.ua.edu/2010/09/ua-allele-lecture-series-opens-with-acclaimed-biological-anthropologist/

Cyborg House

absorbs another tenant
for delinquent rent,
he'll be warm this winter,
well fed and employed,
at least if someone new
signs a lease.

that clause mentioning resorption
be sure to read it
carefully

DN 87

issue 87 should be in the mail right now but it isn't. A series of major and unexpected expenses hit us during the last two months. I think I am just about to get our finances under control again, and so the issue should be out in October.

fat fusion

burning with a clarity
fit to wake the damned
chalk-line palisade

ketchup

always
a tomato behind
round red ash

hope not

the
curse filled
her skin tightly

when the chicken
died God
smiled

busy week

each grass blade
a hungry
mouth

u sed it

Owa Tagu

children can be
so cruel

Cy Amm

out of work since '97

If they didn't taste so good


I didn't say anything
when they broke the wormhole navigators' strike
brought in monkey scabs
to fly those ships
tight with management
the anthropoid union was
stellar event when they tried to strike
company goons
bashed their skulls
tossed them down a sinkhole behind
corporate headquarters
what the heck are they gonna
replace the monkeys with
friggin octopi?
Me, I'm making a preemptive strike
molluscan sushi may be rubbery
but it goes down good
with a little hot sauce
And you, with your superfast axons
and your dinner-plate eyes
don't say you didn't see it coming
my advice is
keep your job in the cafeteria
ain't nobody want
a dang squid
in the driver's seat when little Marilou
and Mama are on board
taking the gas-giant tour
or visiting the cousins
out Vega way.

new article about Jurassic rocks in Alabama

It needs a little tweaking, but it's basically ready to be read we will be adding one or two more illustrations. Of course, if you find any errors, please let me know immediately.

Fryday

and
tomorrow is
Simmerday, I promise

if that's a word

still
tired and
hot but warmthophilous

stringing us along

we
toss
the dice
each new world
fails to support not
only life but matter itself

white herring

The Empire of the Moth

the flag mostly white
Empress holds forth
electricity fails and wind sweeps
Luna lights upon a mouth

coal fusion

diamonds the easy way

Superman
has his retirement plan
all figured out

I do want to know

if one must kill
and spare lives thereby
is virtue best served
by protecting
mass, individuals, or species
in greatest
numbers?

don't call us

we like this game
you have taught us
your world next

tippy toes

each step smaller
but not by enough
I'm home

poor witch

a $1 curse
buys twice the half-dollar ones
stone in my shoe

no, you didn't

the title

the poem
