We build a brick furnace
to harness
desire's fire,
raise up a spire
to inspire
other people's
urgent desires.
Then with the right wind
we walk in
and really start burning.

We can earn a bit,
but it's all impermanent
so we hasten it
while we’re chasing ****,
and wrecking our climate.

The illusion is that
our train of thoughts
changes tracks
as the past is lost.
Railroads diverge.
Then lines re-emerge
as separate and distinct
traveling things
constantly moving
in controlled patterns,
we call our temperament.

I got a fascination
with the frequency
of my urination
in relation
to the caffeination
of my beverages.

I'm eating beans
and sardines,
so I'll be stinking
on both ends,
with smelly fish breath
and rude farts.

The bobblehead blackbird
that I heard chirp chirp
was preparing to pick away
at the rot and decay
of my soon-to-be decrepit form.

These four walls
are not made
to save
but built
to blockade
and enslave.

This cave
we engrave
with our strange
collecting ways,
soon becomes a
self-selected grave
for our histories
and all of our
distorted memories.
