YOU HAVE THREE HOURS

is

the propagation
of lensflare
in mainstream movies

like heavy metal riffs
in dish liquid ads

& mohawks on the catwalk

proof
of

freaks

winning

via permeation

or losing

via appropriation . . ?

you have three hours

no conferring

please show your working out
extra credit for sketches

DO YOU THO ?

i give afternoon tv

all the progress

the mornings fresh air 

gave me

it fills the spaces
i cant look at

with stories 

i wont believe

& while i grant it
credit & thanks

i know its a tool box
& never a church

I DONT KNOW WHAT IM DOING, A DISCUSSION POP

it has a myriad 

of meanings

& intentions

but we all say it -

i dont know what im doing

its depreciating 

its disingenuous
its abdicating responsibility
its an embarrassment buffer

its a humble brag

its an admission of the disconnect

its panic & a call for help

but too i say it to myself 

in a very literal & true sense
acknowledging the channelling 

& duality of creativity

altho an essential caveat 

is appropriate -

when it is finished
i know what i have done

whether i want / deserve / own 

the credit or not

is a problem for another day

  

THEY FORGET WE THROW THIS SHIT AWAY & BONUS POPLINGS

theyre selling us 

sea plastic now

as ecological bangles

like they forgot 

we throw this shit away

~

trained & conditioned

we genuflect our credit

in 

the
holy heft of bargains

~

& my first hash

well i lay cliche

on a suburban lawn

star struck & immobile

with someone

i would never talk to again

BROWN LAGOONS

  we sail on
     on brown lagoons

  bomb winds in
       the credit sale sails

  in this

     the bluest

     of the

     b l a c k
     h o u r s
