Stream: the 13th love song of Alfred Prufrock

The beauty of comatose can only be seen through

the eyes of a wizard in a blizzard

strutting in garlic slippers,

 

or Christ with knees bent at the tabernacle

peeling bananas and kicking prayers

farther than eternity with each gapping second,

 

or like Basquiat slumped back to the wall,

with ounces of speedball dancing through his veins,

eating 80’s free-based fried chicken *******  

 

as his eyelids paints beautiful nightmares of lemon flowers

and Bacchus bacon over a glycopyrrolate desert

of flagrant cuckold buffoonery.

 

Or like leprechauns burning chocolate ******* candles

on the mantle of Zion, sipping oatmeal sprinkled

with Staten Island malt liquor bacon.

 

or like Tupac reading the thoughts of Mother Shipton

through the daze of California cannabis

and hearing the ominous voice of Plutarch sing death assignments

 

from heaven to Assassins on horsebacks goggling ***** water

to wet the dry bones of their throats as they prepare to fulfill

the gospel of self-fulfilling prophecies of being fell by ***** bullets.

 

Or like sophisticated wallets of spice and kitchen characters in a bald head

cooking chemical kisses and 18 February nights under Moloch’s skin,

where constitutions are written in charcoal diaries with Egyptian ciphers and razors.

 

“I had rain sowed into the pockets of my sneakers and composed 1310 eulogies

at the basement of king David’s tower,” said the Kraftwerkian caricature,

as he dangles cigarettes in remembrance of Klaus Nomi and philosophizes on the proliferation

of poetic vandalism at urinals where modernism failed under the phosphorescence of coloration at the avenue of no trees where Picasso's "Guernica" **** Lies All.
