I was arresting myself
like a heart sometimes does
when the beat dropped
and I thought thump thump
thumpthing seems wrong now
or thumpthing themes right now

You know this point
as you approach
and go past
over and over
don't you

"That's so cool"
What's your
over saturation
of stimulation
and is your
imagination

to blame

a flame

billowing sails
of not here now
carry me away
was i with you

in crashing waves

was i with you

in laughing
tho borin' days

Oh I hate that

an instant appears
time mastered
between us

you didn't
feel it
did you

If only
you
were here

I'm watching
an idyllic
scene

The ego stroking
job of the imagination

The ego scaring
job of the imagination

This lovely balance

Illusory

Tricksters abound
'twixt your ears

Mastering your
awareness's

Like channels or now
streams

directed at  you
full time

crafted to please
every fiber

i've subscribed
to electrons

one at a time
down a sliver

I am charging
up

and will
assuredly

what
***

a dendritic
brew

of imagined
fastening

snags of now
to then

I don't have
these costs

I assure time
who's deaf

and fulsome
and smells

of grandfather's
spring

time retracts
leaving

you here
wondering

candid a bit
heavy handed a bit
commanded a bit
to land it a bit

tarantula' d it a bit
let's stop there

One poet
just wants
to know
the reader

One poet
just wants
to write
the poem

One poet
is a
sheer  ha
lu cin eh

Is your numbness
your choice
Or
was it imposed

These sour lips
feeling faintly
for another would

in exhaustion

part

slackening into jaw
sacking into chair
leant over
scowling wet

I've under something
scurrilous-ish
and ******* it up
real flaky

You wrote me in
to your conversation
I wrote you in
to my conversation
Here is what you
had to say

I didn't say that

I've written
you differently
this time

More convenient
No longer irascible

Now what you say
Hearable

This audience blinks and thinks
about hear-a-ability
and vanishes
