* I created the
various (now 40 in all) parts of “Reveal” using the “I’m Feeling Lucky” feature
of google.com. A search on each
line’s keyword revealed a website, and I used different methodologies for each
poem to select the corresponding “found text.”

Flattery
What an
enchanting homepage
Everyone
wishes to fast forward to you
Your
expectation of citrus, lemons mostly
Cirrus
constellates about you
The graceful
use of your canopener
You have an
impeccable sense of direction
Your
thoughts, I’ve noticed, count to ten
The delivery
of your pitch always
Catches me
off guard
Salem never
saw such a beauty
You have more
facets than a carrot
At the top of your line, the train stops
The abatement
of time is up to your shadow
You cleave
the rainbow from its pot
& wrap it
around your reeboks
My
personality split when you
Spoke to me
for the first time
Your moss
gathers no stones
Even ivory
would beckon your thighs
Silk would
hazard your expectations
If driving
east, you would
Superimpose
upon the rising sun
Your duty
lies in explosions
Half the
meals want to eat you
Trees bend,
tides flow,
Volcanoes
pop, waterfalls zigzag
All toward
the florid canoe of your sublimity
Flight
Numbers and Destinations
