Cherubs! Cherubs reaching from aluminum clouds
to stab the hearts out of lover's--kings and queens of too much is enough--minds.
Bold martyrs dying as abolitionists
                        to an illiterate pop-fractal-culture
weeping about zealous posters of apathetic narratives.
                                                     ­          The infinite wilderness of glaciers calling the fading background
                                     of planet Earth--steamboat particles in reverse
                                               suckling till the chimes of apocalypse come.
                          we are slaves beyond truth and defiance

Sneakers hit confident roads with black widow nests in gutters
                                                         ­   --the sun is a word,
                                                           ­    she says it is a culture.
                                                        ­   --The dark is a force,
                                                          ­     she says it is a child.
                                                          ­             realistic tendencies are as hollow
                                                          ­                                                as romantic ones
She laughs and I laugh
                                          pity is polio
                                          too sick to bend and
                                          too accustomed to power
