Foreword.
This book was never planned. As far as i was concerned, I had written all the Reductionist poems (without purposeful repetition) by the end of 'REDUCTS'. Any poem penned after that period, in my mind, would no longer be considered 'Reductionism'. Though in my humble opinion, Art is often emotionally driven and unpredictable, thus another Reductionist anthology forged its existence.
The poems contained, unlike the former books (which started out as lengthy tradition and were later edited down) required little crafting into the 'reduced' form. For this very reason i thought these poems are worth sharing. I believe 'Not another book of Reductionist Poetry' captures an unconscious 'naive innocence' that had possibly been sculpted away in previous books.

Mobile serenade
Running freely it would seemBody’s rhythm, naturally,
Humming drill-school army chantTreading ‘long the path less spent,
Stumble ‘cross a park, disusedWhere the weeds and insects rule,
Moist sediment; pond dried upForms a crater, scooped and cut,
Bouncing by the twigs and stones:Stands teenager with bike and phone,
Tinny music cracks a songTeenager, he sings along
Bellows quieten as approachRestored once passing beyond wild growth.

Bedtime story
Our father, who art in heaven,Hallowed be thy Name.Thy kingdom come,Thy will be done,On earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our trespasses,As we forgive those who trespass against us.And lead us not into temptation,But deliver us from evil.For thine is the kingdom,And the power,And the glory,For ever and ever.Amen.

Will you miss meIn absent sojourn? Will you miss My fire'd yearn?Will you miss Every hair grown?Will you missThe heart I own?
My tender, fool’s wisdomMy Grave temperament?My footprints, winds, shadowsPheromones of my scent?History, baggageMy world pre your dawn?My accent, my timbreTeeth, smile and yawn?
The faults that appease meMistakes I have made?My stubborn and cunningDesire to change?The heart you know not yetIts unrivalled size?The little boy lost, trappedBehind adult eyes?
