now we're in an image of the eyeball shifting
sheltered under rainbow crow's feet
iridescent
what is different?
my roommate asks me under humming bulb & breezes
in my father's kitchen

we will wash the plastic rat
black & lathered as my brother
masturbates his whiskers
individually with shampoo

this is the lord's day

forms are found and then forgotten
on the axis of my navel
I feel very
isolated in slow end-game
pictures animated just for me
they shudder/blossom
in my bathtub

arabesques with eyes closed watching
ladies jesting self-lust
obsessing winking saying
they are only watching

aloud alone anon

outside there is a
frozen rabbit
twisted in the grass embroidered
w/ one million happy diamonds
blazing primordial frosted
like flagellum in a dreamscape
all aligning to the haunted
second where I'm seeing

movies of hypostyle halls
sound of cacti calling
diet soda sounds of
thorny carbonation
born from
liquid crystal wisdom

collapse collapse collapse
both sides prisons
both homes hells
both parents murderous
the molecules of madmen
organized in beauteous forms
******
exalted
jerking off each other
looking into eyeballs
out of time
spiraling out of time

The Stranger's at the door
I am not sure anymore
Please forgive me
I am afraid

1 because one's not enough
2 because two's too many
3 because I'm feeling rather there already
4 because a number's just a name
5 because the universe is smiling
6 because in heaven there's no sound
7 because seven's got a sister
8 because Steven is the world
9 because to laugh is to go lightly
10 because eleven's gone too soon

A because a part of me is lonely
B because the freezer's halfway open
C because the dog looks at the highway
D because to die is to go freely
E because effort is tomorrow
F because to feel & **** & fortune
G because I can't predict where I'll see it
H because the parking meter's dry again
I because I am a little lonesome
J because I am trying on a new one
K because calamity is fuller
L because it brings you where it will
M because the carnival is better
N because the clowns have always wondered
O because the watcher's in the rafters
P because potato garlic soup
Q because questioning is laughter
R because regret is faking feelings
S because to stare is to envision
U because the universe is hungry
V because viola! I am mistaken!
W because wondering is wet now
X because excitement leaves me stuck there
Y because Yvette is everlasting & ******
Z because Zenebal Ganoobi

you can sleep
you can die
you can beep
you can buy
you can exit
you can run
you can fire
you can sun
you can might
you can try
you can finger
you can cry
you can intentionally
you can holiday
you can house
you can runaway
you can something
you can just the usual

imitations, initiations, Charlie close our eyes and bungalow that boogie

octopus your reasons

tranquil, tranquil, tranquilo

I moved into my new reasons

You can show me those doe eyes
No reason
No surprise
While the octopus flies

Henry, spread your magenta
Fore it flies

Show him
Although
In the past
You struggle
To decide

Most nights
You try
To test the trash

This is a
Stalled carnival

the belt's over the eastern horizon
& recollected everyone was fine
you could see it
then lightning broke the banners from the wall
if you just would come on out
& tell me what this night's about
while Diane wrapped her baby in a shawl
no one was watching
except to see the rising dark
Diana well
she's looking good
she hides her face
inside a
hood n' says
better hurry cos'
it's disappearing fast
& I don't wanna know her
no matter
cos' I can't
see it anyway
no plans inside my mind
just to see that
grey tomb
in her thighs
augmented w/
all the
ghosts of now
He's got a Buddha smile
& comes with us
no atmosphere here
everything just
comes apart
& we don't see nothin'
where it's at
we just watch
it all peel back
he turned to statue once
& then he froze
he always shouts out something
when he goes
sometimes "why"
and sometimes "how"
The Master's in the back
he's getting sick
don't worry though
he's dignified & primordial & very much alone

he didn't understand
the technology
he had nothing
in his head
the night was
draped in fog
there was a
neon sign
it felt like
a dream
