Stealing The Scream
It was hardly a high-tech operation, stealing The Scream.
That we know for certain, and what was left behind—
a store-bought ladder, a broken window,
and fifty-one seconds of videotape, abstract as an overture.
And the rest? We don't know.2003
Blackacre
one day they showed me a dark moon ringed
with a bright nimbus on a swirling gray screen
they called it my last chance for neverending life
but the next day it was gone it had already
launched itself into the gray sky like an escape
capsule accidentally empty sent spiraling into the
unpeopled galaxies of my trackless gray body

wanted nothing please
I don’t want
