When

When Kao Tang's book is opened, hundreds of monsters escape.

When I talk to my children, I deliver a message from my father.

When the attacks are rare I see lilac-colored spots.

When the instream flow reservation falls, the grinding wheels cease.

When we reach the pool it is empty.

When I dream of work the architecture is different.

When sitting, a dull pain, as from a fall; when undressing, chill, with chattering of the teeth.

When beginning to walk after a short rest, the brain is painful, as if shaken.

When looking at the nearly white paper of the wall, feeling as of being electrified.

When images are being written to the memory card the lamp dulls.

When the lamp is lighted, the letters FUEL LOW are visible.

When standing after going downstairs, throbbing of roots of the teeth, transient blue spots.

When the disc makes one complete turn it generates an arch.

When Lowell’s last taxi opens it is empty.

When a fish strikes, an arm on the revolving spool releases the steel arm.

When the bubble comes to the upper of the two middle lines the timer stops.

When the fuel inlet needle valve opens, the Greeks return from Troy.

When words alliterate in the forest, the poem hears.

When night seals in the pond, the poem fishes.

When particles collide, the poem blesses.

When we finish, the roar of a passenger-plane fills the bedroom.

When he returns before dawn the crystal turns hazy.

When listening to music he exudes fatty perspiration.

When it rains and the sun shines, the devil beats his wife.

When the construction dust clears, the house has seven levels.

When they stop laughing he knows they are asleep.

When the thumb pushes, the fingers yield.

When you step on the tripping device a sheep or goat is sacrificed.

When you open the cover Smart Cover awakens.

When you're in isolation mode, the house groans, the piston rises.

When alternate cold blasts and warm winds are felt a bright star shines in the west.

When the Import Field Book dialog box appears, hit OK.

When overcome in a river gulp in the water. 

When a certain number falls on the retina, a red colour enlivens sense.

When layered with a crisp white shirt touch the teeth with the tongue.

When you can't enter a symbol via the keyboard overlay the Beaufort gyre strengthens.

When we fall out of sentence, the sentence opens.

When it begins to thicken press into it halves or quarters of freshly peeled ripe peaches.

When the situation calls for it I am a dreamer belonging to the poem I write.

When poetry is my fate, in the poem you are a carpenter.

Where

Where edges reckon their ends to be doors are made of bone

where heads separate obstacles have to be cleared

where the amber-polished lip of shore pales is the island of reflection

where V is the projection of the velocity vector W worlds hold

where the compound is hardened by previous working Jesus tends a library of incoherence

where the roads dip and rise the grey light meets the green air

where covert near-infrared illumination is used the pilot will see nothing

where the hill bleeds stones the bodies of the two men are buried

where the poem comes in indicates where the wheels are located

where wheels connect the train of Williams’ thought shapes are in alert patterns

where the mere deepens the last spirit-insect prepares to save the world

where the house is beneath the water he lies in the cave of Lokman

where we bathe ourselves in the South Fork are mudpots & fumaroles

where dung raises the fungus herds of red cattle are kept

where language at night produces other language they store symbols in parks

where Ariadne sleeps patients have painful memories erased

where is the origin of the fire she point-blank asks Father Casimir

where is the gray substance? How thick is the gray layer?

where literally can mean figuratively the term is surrounded by double angle brackets (<<>>)

where an idea works into consciousness a pencil is not found

where product details are inspected trainers assign hit-to-fall requirements

where there is no crane the lifting is done by hand

where the field is rich with colour, there is a cabin in the earth

where corrosive elements slip through the coating replenishes protection

where people plant shrubs build walls and fences and pile junk are property lines

where dust and regret mix together silver peacocks spread their tails

where they are calling out names slowly I am in the place

where the actors hold arms close they find the ratchet-wheels

where is no hope but in shared shreds of pain time clings to its raft

where horrid alarms push we move through circles

where one comes out on an upland burial field flowers cover the dark path

where lay the dynastic house of the Go the dots connect

where language rips other language apart is where language starts

where a list of results is possible the user is presented the results as a menu

where stones reach up the insects are numerous

where the fuck is spring damn starlight blows off the roof

where a star comes loose a shadow runs over

where girls wore cowboy hats and sequins you want the children to stand

where words flesh and sense stones and roots and peaceful amours are

where is the sentence that will prove not in what it means but it does.

Which
