The following is a collection of sayings by and poems about Shroomi, the famous and infamous mystical figure that I just made up about a day ago.
changing the batteries
in the neon buddha
Shroomi
re-upholstering
the Divan of Hafez
Shroomi
What we seek
is in our lapse
Shroomi
glimpsing
the wine beyond the glass
Shroomi
unreadable
in words or letters
Shroomi
Violets are red
roses are blue
Shroomi as pi
is irrational too
slice your finger
suture as sutra
Shroomi
one cicada
on three branches
Shroomi
why are whispers
IN ALL CAPS
Shroomi
Shroomi deems
all the eggs in NJ
bedeviled
Shroomi types
dog is good
all the time
finally reaching
their adult Fahrenheit
Shroomi
Shroomi wonders
if god is the only odd
perfect number
sprout beyond
notions of sense or nonsense
Shroomi
rhyming axolotl
with “a showboat”
Shroomi
broken guitar
nothing left of the blue
in Shroomi’s eyes
kissing the hands
of the cuckoo clock
Shroomi
cursive words
in yellow on snow
Shroomi was here
reciting
Aha in his fez
Shroomi
broken guitar
the unstrung blue
in Shroomi’s eyes
the women
giggle when he appears
Shroomi
calling shotgun
everytime we roll
Shroomi
oh gee
it’s a trochee
Shroomi
Shroomi says
god is the sky
in the pi
shredding his poems
before ghazaling them
Shroomi
reciting Hafez
versus Hafez verses
Shroomi
more people
on the garden path
than Shroomi has
jelly of all
the obsidian beans
Shroomi
sufi in the streets
fluty in the sheets
Shroomi
knot keeping
up with his haijin
Shroomi
sooner reciting
“my seal, Liam”
Shroomi
falling into
the black rabbit whole
Shroomi
do not buy
this book if you’re high
(Shroomi says)
not bound
by what he’s bound for
Shroomi
in bed
before ache o’clock
Shroomi
doe-eyed
as Euclid’s proof of limitless primes
Shroomi’s beloved
somehow
multiplying in Times Square
Shroomi
almost resembling
most of it assembled
Shroomi
December moon
sighing in Sagittarius
Shroomi
putting the nig
in shenanigans
Shroomi
