Doctors say he had a black spot on his brain

Black hole?
pirate past?
DMT excess?

Acute exhaustion came calling
we only have one vessel
It shattered some time ago

I feel rapid fire rattle my skull space

The rusty executioner says well here we go again

Half naked in a puddle
giggle into a rain cloud
Collapse
roll with muddied grace
Scream for everyone and everything

Busy minded and disembodied
float the circle
Watch them live
lungs rise and collapse
Over and over
organic machinery
So simple and so necessary

Reflex for lightning
I've seen the aftermath
split limbs onto broken backs
I'm no super hero
lift until gravity obeys

East side complex
paint so new
it smells of progress

Slacks and ties waddle by

Eyes glazed by coffee ground and paid vacation

I mumble into their bubbles

"Who am I to judge another's happiness?"

"I suppose I have been too human in my observation"

"Leave now before it spills onto your nice paint"

I run away laughing
I love an inside joke

Beautiful brick and iron work
but the sign says no thank you

Squeals of joy from a bird cage
but a parrots neck stays broken

A sponge for the sinister
wipe away their foreboding

Cleanliness inside madness makes for a reasonable crutch

Do I make ground for nutrition or for construction?

The permit office succumbs to hysterics

So I lack a proper paper trail

But I have a bag of soul and a ***** of soil

I have every intention of populating without the red tape

These mouths need nutrition

They burn wide from consumption

All I need is a root
All I need is sound
All I need is a little more time
