MILTON SAID

that man milton said;
the mind is a place and time 
and 
can make heaven out of hell
or 
hell out of heaven-
or something very similar.


i hear you, milton 
and 
i stop on A13 bridge way home 4pm
and
i attempt to fill myself up with the marmalade sunset
spread by a spatula
above 
the 
dark trees.
eternal hatchbacks dotted with dusk flow forever under me.
sunset is 
in 
red 
segments behind bridge wire/i tiptoe in the cold to see it totally clear.


this morning on the hill the sun was a red striped war film tiger
and 
i attempted to fill myself up
and
keep
it deep inside
for my unbroken brother


but


the day was a rollercoaster/i held on with the strength of fumes.
noon came and i
was
stabbed
by 
angry steel - (i FELT it tho it WASNT there/milton said . . . )
my 
brain
burnt
fast with termites - (but there was NO fire and NO insects/milton said . . . )


and


HOURS later i am calmed with free chocolate cake
when

went into offices 
looking for keys.


milton said the mind is a time and a place/or something similar
that turns heaven into hell
or
vice
versa/which is the one i need.
