Poetry

NV, 1979

when we would play Space Invaders,
we would pretend we were killing hegemony

Play Again

Play again until the pieces fill
every hungry threshold

Five Erasures from ‘Mastering Pac-Man’

The ever-present monsters / soon catch up and A MAN / slowly disappears as the machine utters / a whine another MAN / appears the process repeats

‘Outer Space Love Letter’ and other poems

The cold black
waters of Maine; earthy and lax Mid-
Atlantic; obscene Technicolor
heaven in the South. No partner, no
daughter swinging my hand, singing.
I’ve been walking
all my life.
