"mockup" poems
Might the years have betrayed me?
Not that I didn't know her but her
lights knew not the catches of my eye--
mighty concrete behemoths of mid
nineteen hundred something
littered my view in quaint newness while
myriads of roaring metal beasts
not without their own masters
lunged forward in a sea of people...
Mockup shops and street food scents
nudged my wallet into sharing a
little folded bill of blue, all while
market clamour played
next to the banter
lining the streets.
Alas!
More than a humble string of words
nailed on a poem the night hence are needed to
line her canopy of neon lights a
masterful description capable of
nesting all that was there in a neat
lingering thought!

Inborn debauchery...sea-swilled communion received...
hung over and over in discipleship.
All's nigh, charged airy pour to date A.D., to tire of
personhood.
Finding the soul's panoramic view insufferable.
Forward motion lugs gluttony--lethargic with figuring.
Hunger's recitative plea has completed the mind's
mockup.
There's twitch and hallucination amongst common
ground--upon which, what was exchanged?
Do tell and do tell...told by the lot cast, as yet to
settle.
Billions cry to sleep--to rise the hardwon face...gaming.
Their sheets serpentine folds retain shadows as light
reinstates its presumption upon them.
Our emergence we day into draws back the flesh as
needle's eye through...we, with such nobility
Kingdoms branch in a single act.

Weekend, shorn spoof head-to-toeing,
Sunday sobered...I saw
a squirrel sleep for the first time,
from a second floor, cozying
between pronged boughs.
Tiff-tough puff of a tail, spot-spread
by a breeze.
A split vibrational decision,
raring a decided tree--in this
cellular mockup city, NY.

o **** that fake moody mockup?
the one with teary laugh! too quick feet!
etymology; from rival to flying to fall
matchstick underwater
brims over leftover feelings
burn the stage & hope it's not overdramatic
what to run from? barks every tree
8pm morning coffee for a lost boy
catch me
