stream of conscious, midnight thirty

I don't feel it, You say. And, pray tell her

name, my sir, that i may find she thee and prithee

 

Bear me off to southern sounds, fallow fields,

an altar ground, a garland rope of singing springtime snows.

 

this may be more than i can--;;

                        YOU

                        ARE

                        NOT

                        WOR

                        THW

                        HILE

 

and i had such an awful dream last night--

 

you said, Bronwen, my love;

and i could not sweep her hair from the floorboards

beneath which you hid your ***** mags from mice.

 

because you tell me about it.

 

                                                                          WHOAM?

you speak of gOd like dOgs & i am worthless coinage

in the sewers. the sewers find my dress still hanging from your bones.

your bones your bones your piano finger bones

kiss me again

 

until my lips swell my throat bleeds i do not want you to know how much i crawl spiderlike through the trails of hair in the drain as the autumn leaves the summer leaves the spring buds freeze over hell i am not i am not listening pan-drum please let me say this one last thing:;

 

he is your accordion player the ***** player man who speaks fluent french and inflected english he is your accordion player on the pipes-----

 

and you say i do not feel and i reply,

 

this is too bad too late, chuckle replay as your fantasy walks through the door my team my team she is porcelain lovely see the perfume in your synesthesia colorblind goat footed grandiose Cesar with epilepsy she is your dream she is she is she is!

 

&meanwhile; the trumpet in soul still plays solfeggio---

 

1 2 le 3 4 1 2 le 3---1 2 le 3 4 1 3--le 1 le 3 le 1

she is the discord of the seventh in the tenor line

she is membranes she is rain she is towels

 

                      LEIGH **** IT

 

if only if only you weren't so lonely i might call you mine and bring you back homely.

IF ONLY-----Charles weren't so busy while you

 

stare at silver spoons and cherub smiles

 

and cupid calls you home again.
