Alternating Lines of Tim Armentrout &
Philip Whalen

once it was but now it is
The Renaissance
gold bees cloy in my room
occupation of space

I just sit and laugh
unprepared
all of us writing & singing

"Awake in dreams of
What other dreamers may come"

A cure exists , I was whistling

"If you're. looking. For. Trouble.
Trouble's. what you will find"

someone said
s h i n e
hold that kiss against sun

as we sit down together
         oh my goodness    yes

         *

"I accept my human condition" —Jorge Guillen

        vision of public gesture
                as great revealing intimacy
impossible to separate
the grammar's in the music

lights move in rhythm to the imagined

scores of forms passed over , though
spurs
in the sonic gland mind

         : a bubbled gum
                  olive branches       & heat stones

         *
