Helicopter fingertips spinning like carousels and wizard’s spells Flying above the heads of the others, birds on the wing of existence Fifty cents and fifty burnt tents, hiding in the forest’s foliage And spoiling meat, a treat for seethe full beasts, entreating On the upper realm of the cranium that divides the imagined from the conscience The very small world clearly real and the steely peeled world that your eyes construct And puncture your thoughts and actions with imaginary people Imaginary places and spaces and other faces Even your own The eyes you see in the mirror in the morning are imagined windows with screens playing Carefully played out scenes and episodes and and anecdotes coated And smothered in the deceit of one’s own mind The kind mind that creates a fine land Much grander with sand and mountains, natural fountains Bountiful gardens, counting bars and suns and crows and people as you walk along the digital highway, computer brain, ball in nothing and nothing it is Fizzy soda and murders in Minnesota Catastrophes in the east, beasts Gusting across plains, and stains of Death and burnt woods and the lights of the ones that destroy the planet And grand pits that aren't even there
