TECH

so long ago

and 

so soon

life became just Meat and Nothing

and NOW

one hundred years after life became just Meat and Nothing

i am intoxicated

laughing at some fool of a show on a bedtime techtop

cigarettes

between

all 

my fingers

i am convulsing Meat and Nothing

but sometimes after this TIME

i am wizard-car straight

covered in

bike sweat

lifting weights . . .
