those ant lion traps fill up

nests?

There is no reason for polarity t this pint point ,

The falling rain inevitably reduces the internal temperature,

and it drowns out the dance music,

Alice DeeJay is no more;

despite that reunion tour

because were better off alone

Faith, no more,

….the award tour

better of alone,,,,

All those Midwest follies that I know next to nothing about:

Save the women and the children first,

but we still have to make sure Bruce Dern gets out alive ,

even if the lifeboats are full elbow to elbow

and we have to make sure we are wearing our full metal jacket.

and if that means he minds his business while he puts his on, when it comes to all of this

then so be it!

it’ll be just as epic as it was when it first came out!

Half way committed,

but I am cracking my neck less ,

however I am listening to those same number 1 songs,

am I really growing? because I still bite my fingernails

Am I glowing? because i still choke on everything

but they are catchy though,,,,,

Everything else ended up in the garbage though,,,,,,

and its all but an echo in in my left ear now ( your right)

Down my throat,,,,

and I cant turn it up any louder ( your right)

( its not a lyric)

everything else needed up in the garage

everyone ended up there…

half way there,,,

down my throat,,,,,,,,,,,,

but you saw this coming, right?

Pawing at the ground,

banging at the permafrost,

or the lack thereof;

Sticking my nose in it .

or lack thereof,

who I am

and its not necessarily Frost in this case

its not necessarily even through woods on a snowy evening

Upright and warm is what I am,

no sled dogs in sight, at this point.

and nothing but repeats on the big screen baby,

because even though I sometimes walk sideways;

baby I’m here to stay

The smoke blowing it right back in my face,

and after the pizza box went up in flames

whilst we had that translucent red cup in hand.

During many afternoons, with terrible company…. with the benefit of hindsight.

( at the time)

with the benefit of fish in our shoes,

with the benefit of many afternoons

The inhalation is real,

The murder was real,

but the moon wasnt,,,

and it comes in waves;

came in waves;

but the moon wasnt,,,

and in droves

and down hills

( at the time )

protected by those druids,

and a little bird told me , ( and the druids too )

(at the time)

aloud, and just above a whisper,,,

but the moon wasnt,,,

to stay nearest to the nest.

that this was my best chance.

I chased Rasputin away because his shit has gone on way too long,

magic plagiarism ends up being pretty easy,

when the sunlight hits you just right

when you happen to have a phonebook handy

Amen to that.

Amin’ etomu

Amen to squinting and not quite realizing quite where you were looking in the first place,

here’s to that!

Here’s to extra syllables and all that they are able to accomplish.

and amen to the curtains being drawn,

while the main character undresses,

and still they aren’t even fully fleshed out.

and finally, amen to finality.

Its still early,

no matter how much twisting I do.

No matter how many armies I command .

and despite all the feeling my lips don’t have at this point,

after all that abuse,

all that chewing,

all that the reckoning.

All that the burning every time anyone gets close to the fire,

the biting

the calligraphy,

the honesty.

the wedding.

It’s hard to come to come to a conclusion,

to even be here,

but hey the body is good.

while it’s intact, and while it’s dressed in white.

while its strong,

and while its cut from the cloth

splayed out ,

as long as its mine, and its dressed in white.

I can sink my teeth in.

Those praying hands wrapping and tighter and tighter

the bowl bleeding more and more

filling up up with more and more smoke,

and stuck on the loading screen,

but its money well spent,

on sundries and cereal and such,

for damages past and present.

8.99 – and its definetly warm enough,

8.99 … for damages past and present

The same time I was able to take a break,

to manifest destiny,

was about the same time I walked out with firewood in hand

Louisville slugger in hand

cordial , and on camera.

Captured, in a pile of embers,

…tracked by the sundial,

smiling…. on CCTV.

hand on my throat,

that moon behind those trees

its all very talkative tonight

evocative tonight!

its not even all in italics.

Fully extended,

capitalized,

I am.

we

cant

be

robotic.

we

cant

be

beat.

Fleet of foot,

and entirely unplugged,

both are grounded,

we both are, buzzed.

Despite what any author thinks,

the piano keys play the same

but I cant play,

and those piano keys stayed the same.

Just like the hat the pope wears;

which I like

I cant stay.

which I like

Miming those Dalmatians,

what with the barking and bounding,

barking and chiming,

heads held high while being led on leashes

all those things Dalmatians do.

The moon lost behind smoke

a flag whipping in the wind,

flanked by the smoke,

and the wind

…utterly surrounded.

Movement in the peripherals,

coupled with partial hearing loss in one ear,

all of this better understood from an aerial point of view; is my point.

put simply,

a view from above.
