i am sitting outside, searching a sunset: a plant loving light, gobbling it up through every pore. Looking for the pinpoints of ancient transmission. i see a bulge...NO... two, THREE!: alien fingers pressing latex event horizon, mixed palette cornea burned.      (*Just a flashback, a       cold beach night in       my memory, feeling       small in the universe       again; chain-smoking       unfiltered cigarettes,       forcing a process, tasted       bittersweet on the       tip of my tongue.*) i hate you, Florida, but every where is equally beautiful in the now. None of it is home. i don't know what that means... is it here, where i am understood, examined? i am cold, seeking fire: i need to cut you wide open, Luke's Tauntaun, and stuff you full of my words, replace your white insides with black and gray ink. To live. To BURN. In the light, the way of forever.
