if we need another epidemic
iʼll call the television and project it
all this entertainment is worthless
if we are ready to reject it
self appointed alcoholics
sort of miss the point of calling
donʼt worry about the results
when the tests are already expected
before anything is done
the outcome is already certain
from behind the hidden curtain
our politicians pull the strings
so many unsavory morsels
so many unapologetic beings
so many activities
Odysseusʼ journey
Hercules and other heroic epics  
drastically broken
dented and retrospective
reflected in midnightʼs mirror
beams of light shatter our vision
if we wish to see clearer
threads of burning filaments
syntaxes
simulate
our impotence
immolated indigents
dissident
disappointments
disingenuous
and feral felines
blend with fragrances we miss
nostalgic as donkeys
for trysts and romances
def poets despair at nothing
how will we conquer these dinosaurs
forever blinded by our prejudices
weeks of dying roses
seekers of the psoas
bones and tendons
robed in shadows
stretched as tight as arrows
the seeker bows down
what if moses had drowned
would his followers
have had to run for cover
seek your mother
gift her another dragon's eye
look for our brothers
in words and stutters
close the shutters
rooms descend in escalators
no one likes to let you
fool around with their heart
anymore
