A NECESSARY FORT

morning me
will thank 

last night me

for the chores

he did compel 

& it is not pitiful
to fool & manufacture
such miniature peace
in the face of chaos

& flaky meat puppetry

as clutter 

is often
anxiety now

when it used to be
a necessary fort

MEAT PUPPETS CLUTTER & CHAFF

 

well my meat puppets
chewing at his strings again

& thats nothing
but a fast track
to the floor

~

& i need 

a health sandwich on rye

amphetamine fries

on the side

to clear

my soft avatars broadcast

of its

clutter & chaff

THE YES QUADROPHONE

 

insights elusive 

brainpan flatline

need drums / basic rhythm 

two chords enough i reckon

& vocals that frisson 

ramones / micra girls 

yes


~

i question the questions

with a stubborn silence

useless yes but it feels right

in the 

   white rabbits 

      late late late 

         wormhole blues


~


file me under side effects

for the twitches & itches 

& the cool clutter 

fights
the spartan dream

poetry was in the olympics once

naked

yes


~

i cross the junkyard mardyke

& count the cows

grazing on the floodplain 

inside the steel music

of the blacktop rivers 

yes
