through lift of lid
or some toothy wisdom
of eye number three
can see it all--all together--
synchronized and tight of fit
like a dance, a play, a cinematic film,
flawlessly woven into all life's story.
And I smile:
at myself for the realization
the penetration
and at the evanescent flawlessness
of this shifting glittering narrative
in which every person is a character
every object and action a metaphor
and every seeming twist of fate
or cause and consequent occurence
is nothing but the thickening
of an unpredictable plot.
This should not alleviate reality
though it may appear to flatten--
a work of this much
It seems we are living in the age
of self-consciousness, self-exploition,
interpersonal exploition, and propaganda.
But the more the better,
it altogether seems,
so long as one knows
how to adequately cover one's ass.
What thenow would we do
without anyone to prove all this to?
AMusings: let us imagine
each of us isolated in rooms doorless and padded
heretofore endurers
of neither interaction nor captivity?
Does psychosis bear relevance?
O! Hell-hot mourning dew face in grass horizontal rain 'gainst
eyes, nose, lips cheeks hot water kills germs--

reflections--this night thine
with lines from "like"
with lines from bend of bay
tender this night
of poetry, colorpage sketchbook
streetlights glittering stars and symbols
nocturnal daydream of this
maze of mysteries
fantasia phasmagoria
ambrosial perfumes and skies
all coming in in in on me like waves
all the world seems to boast
invisibilities of birdchirps glow worms and
fireflies
jeweless of all!:
great mistress of
nebulous density

foldings (in on, in on)

I have read your expressions
of the whitest fertility
glossed like a plate, but not so flat.
I've gotten accounts of the ever-bitter
intranasal ingestion
up a hole or two, mid-face
(but below the eyes
and above the mouth)
of the finest snowflakes
illegitimately concieved--
not grown, but pan-cooked like meat.
Am I critical? For
we all have our pseudo-dire needs
and our wants, wants, wants,
those can-I-please, may-I-have moments
after which one might ejaculate into the receiver
of the blackening telephone--unrusted--
and win or lose, with or without a game.
Do not get me wrong:
I have spent days in the garden
mulling the mu
You hold me by strings, but I am not your puppet.
Were I made of wood
(though I'm not)
I would be a fence, not a doll.
(And a tree on a good day,
goddamn sky-climber.)
And in spite of this
It is hinges that hold me, and
my limbs are stationary until
I am lifted by strings--antiquity! How I know you:
The twitch in the neck, red flail of wrists,
all hairs on end, a crowd of standing soldiers.
And I've risen:
translucent rubber drowned in the
blue, white, black--
gunpowder which glistens,
dragonfly wings.
And I say to myself:
"Remember this silence,
the warmth of Alone,
filling you like liquor
from brain to bone."
And I hea

the forest of hatred
this is the forest of hate;
it is quite vast.
It was grown for me by
a large number of people.
they took their time
and planted it for me
precisely selecting
each individual seed.
look at these gates!
solid iron spiked with
malicious barb wire
bent into an ornate gothic design.
they are thick and heavy.
nobody can pass through
but me. this forest is mine
though some get indirect glimpses.
a river runs through
the entrance to the forest.

the consistency of honey,
and the stench of decay.

you dont want it to collapse.
I write in the amber white glow that
diffuses through three suns, scaled to
fit in each individuals little world.
The empty one has stolen my compassion.
Many bits of cloth and plastic are
strewn about. I lie in a clearing,
heaven's netting at my feet.
The gingerbread is old. I contemplate
how many times its mood has been
changed and my feet go numb. Right now
it lies between somber and ethereal.
It drags me deeper.
There's a demoness in front of me.
She's the angry sort. Self created,
but my suffering lurks within her reaches.
She's powerful and adores the focused eyes.

Literature
incompletion and its tide
This is the first time in a long time.
Half a year? This is the type of lonliness
i should enjoy.
I'm seated on an artifact, a throne
reminiscent of memories never experienced;
The trees, mountains, and ritualesque fires,
the plastic shelters and bottled light.
I suppose a segment of me has wanted these things,
But these branches are prickly and they do
not grasp me individually. I am rotting
on the branch, left to ooze bloody substances
and dry up.
Someday i might cave into myself, and the
jagged shards of rock will peirce the outermost
cover, the blanket at the top of the stack.
It is dry and pale this time of year, decorate
Completion.
The thought's it's own juxtaposition
and wholly are own ambivilance.
It's a bittersweet thing
and we all have different taste buds.
Only the bravest and weakest can sweep
bits of flesh, words, and debris
from the red floor. Only a number can
taste the sweetness of cherries, strawberries,
vanilla and substance. To some it's that
glamourous.
To apply you must be a courageous coward.
You must be a victim of the ocean or flame,
and you must be prepared. Many lack the
last quality. Red fades to black or
white. It's the known afterlife. It's a
clear place, empty to the top. Little
devils and angels wander around, clad
