know you see me
semper dreamy
slip-ping on - and - off
in the spacey place
almost convinced , (was it?)
“empire free me ,
soldiers see me ,
envious armies are after me
because broken me is all they see
i patch my self invisibly --”
so in retreat i lay my self,
an icon to vanity and decay-
soon enough i know the soldiers may
hunt, may find, may trap, may bind
never right - NEVER WRITE ,
always blind
inside my rotten mind ,
(oh it was) it was not -
naught but tongue twists and brain rot
easy enough to force, forget
the pleasantness of title : Pet -
was it, will it, could I build it ?
it never will -
it never was -
a different thought ,
for beggars sought
to free them from their cups and coins -
to seek release from their ***** -
along the railroad tracks out back
we find the air is acrid, black
and children polish stones for sale
for some enormous, bloated whale
that cracks the whip but bears a treat --
I have Orders I must meet .
they even hunt me in my sleep
