Be quick. Gagging on blood. Quickly, before the flood. Brain is winding up. Overflow Crowbar eyes prying Concrete wings flying I am a passerby Unaware of it all A mathematician crawls on dad A Cockney is ***** and filled with sand Liquid sound An accountant sings Like the world is caving in It must be I feel it in my toes Two muted trumpeter swans Feed on a lake of rice And I need no anger To notice such beauty Nor pain For I feel it all In equal amounts, incessantly

Leaking Frothing Crimson
Rolling over encumbered waters and their peelings. I am deloused in the sanctum of brazen ladders that were manufactured in a tunnel in Somalia now that tunnel lies, sinking gradually by attoseconds. Africa is connected to Arabia via this passage “and how could I know?” I hear you ask. Well you don’t know, and you never will. But lo’, am I not making your mind nod? Stubborn as you may believe yourself to be, I remain an anvil and you are a blanket. So, there is no better reason to acquiesce. Beneficial, it will remain. So what say you, friend? Shall I continue? Well, here’s the second frame that has materialized within the half second: I’m writing vigorously, beholden to a contrived cosmic thing and erratically, I dream of a mauve ******** I reckon it’s an amphitheatre. The fiery rings of chairs are segregated according to the stature of the ***** that rest their heads on them. Briggyn Losyandr, a fisherman Thraex, assaults me with a Macedonian lance. Its blade is merely a tongue, and an oxidized one at that. “Begone, man! I’ve got no role to play in your firetruck ambush.” “Sir, this conflict isn’t for me, but I belong with you.” The writer is supposed to be disconnected. That’s a constant, you hear? Dig? Up? Soil? Out. Out, now.

Start With Reason
In stepwise manners, the decision is made just as the cyan sun pierces through the overcast. The cavalcade of mercurial leaves pass under the handle of my plastic chin. They are borne on the temporal gust of youth which had made its yearly return. My little heart is astounded, immersed in love’s vicarious changes without ever feeling or seeing the flesh. I listen for the chimes that bellow deeply and conspicuously through the plateau shifts. Now, towers are houses and the world is a golf ball; just as meaningful as one, too. Rest, the flakes will not stop cutting into your shoelaced skin. If there is protest in the air, perhaps you are its pilot. Believe in the haze that separates you from those you wish to touch. Crowley’s charms, planetary rings, lamplight halos make a bed that screams “float” eternally. Perplexed and flying through my own inquisitions. Within these past odd minutes, I am intimate with the world’s vein yet again.

My Gratitude, Ana
Do you look down at me? Oh, I look up at you! You! You! You! Look down at me? Me? I am nothing, by Ezekiel! Shut your vagrant mouth. You close it, like a confounded swine! My God! Stop looking down at me! Not me! Not me! I am feeling violent today. Oh, very severe. You, you, you. I am feeling like a ruffian. Today, and other days. It is not like other days. Want to be gone today. Pick at my brain- Oh, be gone today. Ah. Ah ahhhhhh Gone, gone, gone Go go go Going to a-go-go To ****** row Sweet baby Jezebel Orange crooner Mimir Take me to the sempiternal nest Rest rest rest.

By Ezekiel, I Am Ill
Lounging load On a backseat toad As the sky corrodes O’er the Titan of Rhodes Sanguine smile Immerses the child And leaves him beguiled By a life so mild I was born Without a doubt Heeding scorn Through paper pouts Destitute ********** I only sell tape Twofold swords, crass salutes Deep heart and minds agape Losing the point of life To a sleek carbon knife I am not saddened I will be hardened Cheer for whatever comes And you will be deloused In the swaths of kingdom’s sums Amounting to a mouse These days float on With nary a thought Marmalade veil on the dawn Keeps me from the rot Nothing will keep you Don’t marry your hands In a prayer so shrewd To be as small as sand Easily blown over Into aloof waters And sent away sober Into the mile-old clotter Perhaps I am a child In the way I was defiled But I was not soaked By time’s stalwart cloak

Lounge Velvet Shimmer
Christened on billiard paper Lo and fro, oh no Love comes to the town again And I am rendered spent A recalcitrant pen begging, "God knows when, He'll hurt my beard, rest me deep under again" Mother! Mother! Hear my forlorn screams They are inauthentic They yearn to be redeemed Father, you, sister! Watch this cold hand They were born spastic Neutered with a brand A brand that loves to burn alone A brand that seethes, kiss the bone Take me to a walk in your grove I couldn't do anything in your cove Just a lover's weary shove Until you take me above There, the night will reign with a shadow

The Old Vineyard Gait
I've bent my mouth up to my ear Believing in the stuff belief is made of Milk replaced by silky biers Losing my fingers to the Barren Baron Dove Hurts to admit I'm stealing away A curly knife held to my ear Simple, crimpled, waning days Throw unto the heart of the pier Lark and tumble Bark and fumble Still those tired eyes of dust I have found the beveled rhythm Among the pristine clouds of rust, Entropy's daily rhythm Wake away the roaring morning Rising heat in waxing dawn Spend the many days adorning The beating pulse of the fawn Stupefied, nullified Numb and in crumbs A stump to the vein A lump of sweetened pain

A Mirrored Spoon
Nothing but a forlorn pain Phantoms of art Snake charmers Larva tamers “Free Me from the sun” Helicopter steed Blaring Gjallarhorn Crystalline ammunition Shrub-like heads Civilian militants Snake charmers, take my hands Sting them once again Render me strong and heartless Tend to my obsidian horn It grows longer as the sun subsides Blood on the papers Christened for television Whitened crusade Negotiation for control Count your blessings Arm the hangars Send the reserves Whip the cavalry Watch the nation Watch them bleed again

Tend To The Horn
False- on flying feet Shawls of holy bleats Call down his mighty fleet Callous men of twelve defeats Truly of the uncaring dawn Lies the stiff, porcelain doll Green and red, the pawns of the lawn Our World-Collective Greenwich Atoll This nomad collective A messiah of glass Aren’t they so selective? Aren’t the brass so crass? The caveat of the cavalier: Gold is so brittle The loudest ears of golden leers And how they change so little The nomad rejective A Pariah of sand Aren’t they so reflective Of once-golden land? False on flying feet Tall: the new-world sleet Call down the mighty fleet Callous men of greater feats

A Fragment Collective
Translucent, red traffic light Belongs so comfortably No one made a fuss over its colour Just an instinct for the shade The perfect pigment No hustle, no alarm Being the man who ponders this Am I not allowed the breeze or the brevity? Are we blessed to fidget the cigarette? Cursed to be tense I imagine a mellow, white man Prancing on a set of traffic lights Naturally pristine and silky He plays in an explorative band Rock and roll on scalpels So smooth, that breathing Not a single itch I’m going to achieve such a feat One day I’ll be a queen *****

New Contact, 52nd St.
The sun and its veil drags along the humdrum path, like an old dog’s broken tooth, lodging itself into a decrepit chair. Right up its **** where it belongs and longs to be loved. It suffocates, coagulates, and discombobulates the bowery citizens within the pearl atolls. By the rims of the gates, Moses receives ******** while a sojourning sheik blasts the radio. Meanwhile, the teats of Atlas are duly pounded as the mortals are aroused and grounded. Never beholden to ecumenist beauty, life lives on, defying questions. It festoons its lexicon of self-defeat and the synonyms that we waste sun on; A halcyon is redacted before long. I am left at the teeth of a sycophant and a broad-shouldered man who I adore in dangerous elan. Epigrams foist themselves upon the masts, the masts that sail us o’er the soot of the ocean, and land us flippantly onto the crystalline concentration line which is a-gaping wide. The orifice of a primordial awaits us.

To Love the Air is a Free Job
By the 1960s, a disillusionment with Nationalism and war was permeating within the public consciousness. Man: jazz. Jazz! Everything sounds like jazz when you lend your hears an oscilloscope. You know what j-a-z-z sounds like? Well, it’s sweet, serendipitous or nonsensical, nihilistic. Modern in stainless steel or anachronistic in brass. Jazz! So what? Jazz sounds like anything that’s everything and vice versa. It’s a limb of that omniscient looker up and over: the tune itself. Oh, the tune? It’s what lies between your fingers when you’re writing, forging, loving, giving, perishing. You strut with the frequency of a conduit, but an unaware one at that. A change is gonna come in mere years, I know that much. Everyone will be deloused in the pain of the world; Mother Sympathy for all, even the charlatans who hide behind their crimson fur! All I’m saying is, whoever brings it ought to be from this place. I can’t fathom a recalcitrant extraterrestrial handling our own business at the expense of their planet’s water supply. I’m excited for whatever comes, believe me. So long as it ends me and with me.

Divine Interjection
We were together Staring out at the black sea; A void in some backwater alley Of central Bangkok. You were laughing at its beauty And like the stars I stared blankly, Looking for everything I could not see. Alternating undercurrent Of raw sewage and street-food spice, Alive in the shadow Of a searing neon skyline, The moon made of bone; We blacken our lungs Six thousand miles from home. Set in greed for *** and company, The familiar lilt of Latin tongues. In a dream I still need to breathe, Still need to feel the heat of love Or at least the touch of anyone. I lean, habit-ridden Over the railings of misspelled lovers That carved their names half-drunk With hotel keys Into the dandelion paint, That with gradual loss, Succumbs to the traffic And falls in the breeze. You wept at the sentiment. I baulked in their loss. I drew you in closer To keep hold of this dream, Before the night fades, Before time has forgot, Before life pulls us apart, Before love loosens its knot.
