Frank Anthony
Poetry
Four BRIK Poems  

Self Stickings Century 

Four days have slipped 
completely off a wheel 
of the memory training 
on my mental apparatus 
like the missing teeth 
of otherwise perfectly 
wrought golden wheeled 
circuitry immersed the 
blood streams of bones 
hewn from time canyons 
started drying process 
Dream fluid an ancient 
postage stamps licking 


Upon The Physical Body 

In the dream my double 
life is telling me the 
process is a different 
concept than I am sure 
Therefore apprehensive 
Half of it's mythology 
the guided imagination 
and this outer control 
determining internally 
which point of view my 
mental apparatus shall 
have upon the physical 
The rest going forward 


Kill These Cockroaches 

We are in this theater 
of dreams and suddenly 
all the lights dim and 
gradually they're dark 
I shine the flashlight 
like old projectionist 
who was born dead ages 
ago Clean my paintings 
stop the help stealing 
put the lights back on 
fire the eavesdroppers 
restore the conditions 
to my life works again 


You Can Not Understand 

Category and character 
What classifies things 
into certain groupings 
and what are detailing 
ideas about main areas 
that make them fit the 
category you can prove 
is part of the general 
guts of the particular 
theme which is eluding 
detection in a writing 
or way that people act 
to avoid understanding
