solitaire hours spent preparing the face they will meet pour tea take cake and make advice a little butter maybe a little ice at half past three quote Shakespeare and invoke the automatic hand of chic

Mental notes
We stand on the ephemeral balcony serving medium rare chicken wearing ankle socks savoring the ticks to the decay of perfection our nights end when their days begin— chasing the power that made the moon rise— *Old age is philanthropy for the failures of youth*— Casual men tell us these casual things before they leave our youth

Hotel Dreams
Rubicon on broadway  young and beautiful  in white Cadillacs and Buicks audio pop gods transmit  preludes for the night  through hair waves  and satellite finger tips Buried souls are only resurrected among friends at Shakespearian rags at 10 in mind with wine, no whine  oh mine, oh mine  no more golden toads in Costa Rica— the planet is a metaphor for the body— old spice and white gum our everyday gospel

Dear Adulterer the present is the only girl worth living for in her bed is where you always are time brings about the decay of perfection always, breathe and lend half a knee to the ground to send naked prayers to the sky for wifi— we are supposed to be our ancestor’s sci-fi.

the Decay of Perfection
floating lights  and dark skies sit on the phantom heir as chair a soft touch a ripple  in the deep blue sea paper chairs  and crosses float  beneath  the skies as sheet (the eye wake gaze at merry old stars; the ***** wonder ) we are weak when we  are poor and meek when we  admit the tongue did defeat an old pair of glasses as glory we all  wither                   all mouths meet winter i hope to  see wall grow flowers before  a machine gives birth.

A machine cannot give birth
levy the ports          the burnt ice is looming plant an ear to the soil     and hear rain forests singing      in chainsaw lullabies oh, what a wonderful world Sirius is dingy

Slowly
By and by, we lie, we lie. Clap your hands to their lullaby and become their wonder— *96% of humanity is worth $6 in space carrots.* The Cartier watch ticks and some postmodern twitter handle rocks a swear jar full of 16th century curse words. By and by, we lie, we lie.

*The Magic Bush*
The blood of dinosaurs pump through the soil serving as cold platter for the lit Norwegian cigarette   The war of music pump paragraphs of hope through the ear of youths burning lips in pursuit of happiness. In search of naked pictures of God in our mirrors, the internet spent our laws and threw our only hallelujah out the sea— and Arachne smiled, knowing she’s now the Womb— and all men come in the belly of eternity in order to be.

15 years of water
it's hard to crack a coconut while sitting under the water; in order to understand the fundamentals of a broken heart you've got to know the secrets of the soul wait. 99% of human beings are enchanted and to lick the moon you don't always have to travel to mars. Now wait.

I frolicked across six Jupiters with pilot jones
Soulless, We quenched our dreams with thirst; bought the heavens, Waving a country of radio love As fee, United under one Internet Two Chocolate paper ******* announcements And $6 New York Halal meat. The mortal man always drinks his sea-- So ask your doctor about Nixon And lift the verbs off your skirt For Nemo who replaced Icarus And now twerks at synods With strip club oven oil glued To his left fin; The same one God used to bet Satan over the soul of man.
