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.

Leaping from cylinder to cylinder

concrete under foot and train horns blaring,

way too close for comfort, but you needed to be because of the blinding rain,

accompanied by crickets and god knows who else,

but you cant hardly smell the spilled milk across the concrete,

but you can certainly taste those rain drops,

and the way the shadows catch everything around the lake,

around the memorial.

And what with the way the rain comes on in…

come on in,, as we watch from a building made of glass,

totally safe,

totally romantic

as were utterly circled,

as were utterly disputed,

As we are heard ; as we feel every memory.

an uneven canvas,

my head, lest we be mistaken.

An ultraviolent experience; stuck in that waiting room.

I grabbed it by the neck and it lingered there,

twisting and shaking, and scantily clad.

We thought of something , whilst we were wired for sound,

we thought of everything.

I paid 7 dollars for it back then ( sometimes you get more for less_)

so I would definitely pay 10 dollars for it now ( sometimes you get less for more)

I was more quiet tonight,

too quiet to waste a good title,

to waste a good time

too patient to wait for the good cage;

Which ultimately ended up being success , and teeming with protein, too.

Despite the earlier laughs and the circling vultures and the bedbugs and the fleas and all the other parasites that will end up getting nothing from me.

Having that parasitic relationship always ends up being the answer,

and even today with the blood everywhere, late into the night.

I still feel like I have the best view of the sun ,

better than most anyways.

A little more pointed lately,

at least the screen remained in focus.

It’s not necessarily a weakness,

although it can feel a bit pretentious,

the fines and rip currents constantly pulling you under

ones worse than the other,

especially if your not from here.
