MAKING SPACE MAKING EYES

stupid time
stretching us out like it does

time knows it was 1989 once

but it stretched it out
& stretched it all thin

& made space

made eyes

made swiss cheese of it

so the horror
can get in

& 

the people 

can fall out

WHERE SANITY TUCKED ITS FEET

i feel

its like
as if
times been being

s t r e t c h e d

instead 

of its 

regular

subjective

slide

~

i felt 

its tension 

let loose

i felt 

it crash 

into tender places

upsetting the dinner table

where sanity tucked its feet

~

& 

the clocks i thought

that measured time

i 

see hurrying now

to 

just keep up

DAYLIGHTS BUBBLEGUM STRETCH

i have learned
  to
change channels
    in
the weird trip
      of
daylights bubblegum stretch

& advice for the illness
      that comes on
          like pop-up ads

gets filed under spam
      with the tinnitus
          buzz & ring
