I don’t get Brooklyn 
My boss thought the catnip 
on my desk was pot.  Go figure! 
The reason why I like you  
may stem from unresolved 
issues from jr. high school 
Atari was my personal hell. 
 See where this behavior gets you? 
Newark has the feeling of being 
affixed, but not New York City. 
Prudential Building is mostly 
underrated in New Jersey. 
Teens who hang out on street 
corners become bus drivers. 
Every stale breeze seemed 
to whisper “Louise” 
I have this recurrent dream 
of a starry carousel creaking 
After days of retrofitted murmurs 
soft hypnotic laughter 
approaching fresh fantasies 
a licked window.

Blog originally designed for the cruelest month, when I scratch out a poem a day. Now also a repository for my matters poetry. (Ab Chaos Poesis riffs on James Joyce's joke on the catholic motto, ab chaos ordo.) (No relation to the metal band which is top fifty results of a 2020 google search to check the Latin.)

Welcoming another guest blogger: Ryan Nowlin (lately of the Poetry Project). He will be joining me sometimes henceforth.
