from Little is the New Chicken

Adam Good

   there are systems
   we live among
   and to see them
   is to be redeployed
 
   * * *
 
   oh,
 
        currents
 
   * * *
 
   your resources
 
   are probably national
 
   your auto-completion
 
   yields “yours truly”
 
   this is a stem-cell
 
   statement
 
   of material
 
   poetics.
 
   check it out,
 
   late fees.
 
   * * *
 
   hogs
   split
   with 
   cause, 
 
   get
   spilt
   with 
   clause,
 
   owls
 
   do it
   for the glory
 
   * * *
 
   one moves
   between reading
   and re-reading
   and re-reading
   and re-reading.
 
   space begins
   to happen.
 
   * * *
 
   there are no ambitious people
 
                  only trees
 
                  and scores
 
               sweat’s dial
 
                  and the law
 
   * * *
 
   you can meet 25
 
   of anyone
 
 
 
[Ed note: Just a sample from a longer work Adam is working on. Edited it down to what would work best here, but trust me, there is much more to see in this work wherever it does finally land.]
