first full dance of romance
blissed out mist of seance system
sent a letter through the vents and hid away until
it slipped by the feds
“We had a terrible plan,” the office manager said,
“An Oval opened could send the message better than last.
no one would sense the event
Central Intel Defense
would exit left of the lens
and then we close up the tubes
are getting smaller
The fluid’s getting hotter
The ceiling’s turning rotten
The meat has started falling
The rain is full of toxins
gutters come crash down on the beach
That red wind glowing oddly
That blue moon blowing softly
Freeze, it's all unstable
So let’s start leaving
You won’t need feelings
The tubes are getting smaller
The fluid’s getting hotter
The ceiling’s turning rotten
The meat has started falling
The rain is full of toxins
gutters come crash down on me
That red wind glowing oddly
That blue moon blowing softly
A fantasy,
An odyssey,
A Tuesday morning walk, you see
just float away
along the seed
of dandelion honesty
It’s all a game
It’s all a phase
It’s all an everlasting gaze
You know the beast,
You know the scenes,
the enigmatic starts of things

clashing past the neon flash in coasting coastal clasping hard
a splattered smear of oil spilled toward a sea, oh blessed manifold,
its eerie gust aloft above the throws of loss, a tolid frost across the rosy cheeks of
catastrophic pixels asked about
a metaphysician simile of holy horror symphony
in planets orbiting the song’s old verse of cursed voltage session
soon the silent simulator sprints away toward sideways sidewalk,
s a n d still drips through the night
the s a n d still drips through the night.. ….
walls keep moving in
starlight growing oh so dim

mostly you’re just hoping that the landing will stick
and under pressure would the moonlight ever sink through your ribs?
while underneath the cracking tarmac earthworms shudder and coil,
grateful rain crashed so profusely you could swim through the soil
gentle boredom leaves its host a vacant, shocked silhouette
and in the silence you can feel it though you’d like to forget
that there’s a stirring in the forest and the birds are aware
so while you’re choking on ceramic, armies gather and boast
of how the mass they open fire on aren’t quite people but close
you thought this tricky situation somehow vanished in smoke
but your broken and your hopeless are tormented the most
you wanted out, you wanted home, but a home’s no home no more.
America, is this what you wanted?
America, I wonder if it ought.
America, can we purchase a solution?
America, you are my fault.
if they’re given just a minute to dismount from a boulder
all the centipedes you sought can toss a brick from your shoulder
and a movement is a movement if it’s force with direction
shallow wade on through a frog pond is a private dissection
upon learning that an absence is an error in program
and an umbra is an outline that gives shape to its innards, perhaps
focusing on questioning doubles gravity inward
while a wormhole hides in scents and leaves your body in Torngat,
but if the silly puppet and the red with desire
wring a cloth above the highway in a torrent of fire
then it’s fire that you’ll play with and the morning is steep, so watch for
signals in your windows while the rest are asleep

only feet don't touch the ground
screaming, hanging upside down
every wave must feel the same
and every evening tends to fall away

wait for the m to take me home
where i can be myself in full
where birds all sing inside my skull
infinite burn in cortex coal
a dreaming state
a seedling bloom
an obviously secret space
a reeling gait
a breezy day
an upside down cross to the face
a ceiling fan
electric lamp
i’ll find myself in my own hands
pining for
needling for
when i’m alone
the lanterns glow, the magick flows
the honey pours, the air is gold
what’s in my head it can't be sold
when i’m alone
watching buildings passing by
and not a thought goes through my mind
staring past a lonesome sky
framed by cement and rails that grind

the full Moon is bright and the water is cool
sinking lower and lower through the strawberry pool
and you feel just like a child when the mourning dove sings
puts you back in your bedroom, where your world filled with dreams
like how if time is a construct, the messages beam
out from one end of your hand to endlessly see
the tower’s power is down, all the stars coming out
and we’re closer and closer to edge of the clouds
come and sit by the lake where the waves will soothe ache
yet it may feel the same if you pass through the planes
when you die will you wake up again in your bed?
will the stars look the same after death? anyway, will you know that it happened the morning you wake? will you panic and race
back to fix your mistakes? in the process you process the means and the ways in which you found yourself here in the very first place...

big money rings above the buildings tonight
the only odious occurrence in sight
lies in the belly aching Lonely despite the occluding loom of the
almost dark.
