absinthe
this bathroom floor tile
knows me better than you do
you slid through
and the caution
slippery when wet sign
you took is the only
difference between the two
pictures in the funny papers
mercury and magazines
now we’re all victims
and more confused
you refuse to breathe the life you took
back into me
like my restless tears refuse to keep this filthy floor clean
"Whoever thou mayest be, beloved stranger, whom I meet here for the first time, avail thyself of this happy hour and of the stillness around us, and above us, and let me tell thee something of the thought which has suddenly risen before me like a star which would fain shed down its rays upon thee and everyone, as befits the nature of light. - Fellow man! Your whole life, like a hourglass, will always be reversed and will ever run out again, - a long minute of time will elapse until all those conditions out of which you were evolved return in the wheel of the cosmic process.

And then you will find every pain and every pleasure, every friend and every enemy, every hope and every error, every blade of grass and every ray of sunshine once more, and the whole fabric of time which makes up your life. This ring in which you are but a grain will glitter afresh forever. And in every one of these cycles of human life there will be one hour where, for the first time, one man, and then many, will perceive the mighty thought of the eternal recurrence of all things: -|- and for mankind this is always the hour of Noon" )|( when the One True Queen of the Universe is Crowned. )|(
Friedrich Nietzsche
legs high in (               )
silver stirrups;
spread ur golden thighs -
to cut     the cord    &  float
away like a silver balloon -
to the platinum         moon -  
& other planets
from the tales  told rolled in
scrolls  so old
             the language is wholly
                      unknown;          so we
reinvent badly  what's already
been invented & forgotten:      Oh,
        Steampunk Nation,
    beware
of the future [   ] repeating the past;
when u see ur children adopting
dated trends &  joining spooky  alien
cults, dissuade   them         from such
(                           ), (       ) foolishness
