  • tangled tidal waves crash

    along the highways driving

    smoking

    binging

    purging several yards of sins 

    littering lawns

    abandoned businesses

    octopi predicting stock markets

    ghosts counting pigeons

    swarming outside

    dormant window panes

    as painful as life has wanted them to be

    tackling with glee the unfortunate

    be or be eaten listless mentalities

    slaves to the vengeful & grieving 

    for the former future

    we saw and see in the rear view mirrors

    torn tussling bodies of the inferior

    eating each other's organs

    waiting in picket lines

    bleakness of the void 

    all to avoid decorating the interiors 

    with paint by number

    take this torniquet

    for the benefit of who is not to 

    believe this sworn statement

    in fine print

    page to page

    note to note

    trying only to invoke

    the dawn of a relative truth

    trying only to give a selective proof

    what is actually real

    to the reptiles groping each others

    penises as the world is swirling under

    the crashing waters of drought

    of sweeteners and fast food fungus
