you must!
you must listen, read and write
you must turn right
you must act like this
you must act like that
you must constantly be on the defense
you must forgive
you must have compassion
you must help
you must need help
you must not be you
you must buy this
you must not buy that
you must buy this
you must consume
you must telephone, fax, email
you must be home when called
you must not be home
you must be the answering machine
you must reply
you must recycle
you must produce, reproduce
you must waste
you must not do this
you must not do that
you must be alone
you must be watching TV
you must not speak until spoken to
you must have a plan
you must be spontaneous
you must be different
you must be different
you must laugh
you must be funny
you must be social
you must be dysfunctional
you must be joking
you must conform
you must want money
you must spend more than you make
you must not look poor
you must be poor
you must let the rich get richer
you must be getting poorer
you must not think
you must think
you must not think out loud

you must choose
you must embellish, lie
you must have choices
you must be horny
you must be having sex
you must sin, lust
you must win
you must believe
you must ask for forgiveness
you must have faith
you must be right
you must escape
you must concede
you must be a prisoner
you must agree
you must fear
you must be sad
you must die
you must be mad
you must live long
you must pay taxes
you must be free
you must sell your freedom
you must give it away
you must not be free
you must be too young
you must be too old
you must be just right
you must never admit you’re wrong
you must enjoy every second
you must be too busy to enjoy every second
you must marry the perfect person
you must divorce
you must suffer
you must be me
you must not be me
you must be tired
you must sleep, dream, wake
you must be wired
you must you must
you must increase your bust
you must be slim
you must diet

Death, Deception and Cold Water
no longer needed…
they tell me.
need a farce
for an
abstract
capitalist good-
bye:
nothing
personal,
it’s business
an unethical
dis
burse
ment of cold water, relieving blame
there is a big picture
and I am the photographer’s
assistant’s assistant
but my rutted ass needs a lift
a lift to a higher ground, and
sometimes dreams are made
from another’s motivation.
the wall

The squanderer not a wanderer or the grasshopper
not good at saving money
but pages from the daily paper
thrown away too many
gone bys and they are gone
and I am closer to the end
and the grave dirt smells fresh
and I am not done
I haven't begun starting
always chapters full of page ones
or books with chapter ones
and I haven’t even begun
damn this place of fleeting space
should of…why don't you
this ride is near over
this place has almost forgot me
hasn't even had a chance to remember
me know me
