Poetics: attempting to keep my genes on (and still make children) - Brian Miller

if the devil wears prada & God pearly white

i don't know where my jeans fit

(they're off the bargain rack)

but serve a purpose

at the end of the drive, the long grass

by the mail box post scratches at them,

cars whizzing past---

                              [shunk]

close the mouth & flip through the ads,

(it's all we get---these days)

'look at that!'

a flyer proclaiming they'll tell me

where my genes fit

for just 99 bucks & a bit of DNA

all from the convenience of my own home

which they'll disassemble like a buick,

anal-eyes each part to determine

just what will kill me---up to 209 possibilities,

sin-dromes you might pass on to your off-

spring, ancestral history, that

disease your great great great great

gramps kept (how great is that?)---what's

hiding under your hood,

nuts & bolts

                 already they tinker, fix the inner space

so the blurred line ends with the next man-

ufactured birthing

                        complete w/ pre-emptive cosmetic surgery

we need a checklist:

      athletic ability (check)

      asthma (nope)

      endowment (check, check, check)

      poetic (well, let me think on that)

nip/tuck----tick, tick, tick (BING!), schlupp out pops 

our uber child (widget)

              isn't (s)he cute

& if we're god, who's left to blame

                        when it all goes wrong

the emperor has no clothes on, 

            the devil wears prada

                 junk mail recycled

                                    & i'll

                                        keep my jeans on

(a little while at least)

BRIAN MILLER

crimson tongues ensnares

a lollipop, enchanting it

to azure hue

while

purple shadows playing

peek-a-boo

with verdant rabbits

dressed in coats.

far away I see

the pink horses

marching to a sound machine

and go boom boom bang

while high above

magenta tracks

from sluggish badgers

painting tic-a-toc

across a sky of

tangerine and green

and deep below

the ruby elephants are

served Martinis

(without olives)

-
and then I wake
(without even getting a sip)

Foto Abstracta 2592 Son tus huellas el camino - your footsteps are the way

                                                                                                                                                               

Caminante, son tus huellas el camino y nada más; Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. Al andar se hace el camino, y al volver la vista atrás se ve la senda que nunca se ha de volver a pisar. Caminante no hay camino sino estelas en la mar.

Traveler, your footsteps are the way and nothing more Traveler, there is not a way the way is made by walking. Walking makes the way and looking back at the view behind shows the path that never is treaded again. Traveler there is no way but wakes on the sea. Antonio Machado- PROVERBIOS Y CANTARES - XXIX
