quirky unplaceable distress signals by Billy Cancel

     quirky unplaceable distress signals     rusting
orange salmon pink     because firewall blocked
captain swing letter twitter feed &     rotten borough   
arts scene was too much based     upon wobble head at
the clack shack blue lamp disco     had a pocket of
fews & 2s     got added to the wreck pattern     then
insinuated into     some dialogue         pushed out upon
     a boat     pale white sunset     long streak of
misery     gave me fixed     co-ordinates as     obtained   
from lighthouse     buoys &     pier lights     reached some
common space baited with mirrors fell in     with owl
shit junction fish ‘n’ chip mob     all colors regimented
to contested landscape         what best you come
     for?     to break all the machines to bits?     no
for joyous rollicking pretty little dales small green hill or anytown u.s demolition party     & a’int the beer cold?     in
2015 i wrote 48 poems 4 a month in 2016 i intend to write 1 poem 48 times     see you around campus     see you on  
the costa del sludge     see you where
the crows fly backward
