DESPERATELY IN NEED OF A STRONGER PLAN IN A DESPERATE LAND

the killer awoke before dawn

he put his turncoat on

he took two three four faces 

  from the human gallery

& he walked on 

  high fiving

down the lobbyist hall

A CATCH 22

well i put my boots on

& 

i walked on down the hall

& 

i addressed the naysayers there

   

'it would be easier'

 i said

'to get better 

 you know

 

 if i already wasnt so ill'

BLUEPRINT VOID FILLER

the hatchbacks 

slept on the blacktop 

& go to work now 

under june sun

we are between heatwaves
& the wheelie bins 

are scattered 

in the wake of vans

the news is bad / i am scared

ever it was / but more so

the cat rolls in soil 

the soil is very very dry

my emergency solar radio combo 

charges its capacitor 

on the window sill


~

fug you the soldier said 

his chest wound bubbling again

& all the dry teats cough air 
into the famine mouths

& all the fat teats belch oil

into the unexplored godzilla sea

this is the end my friend

can you picture what will be ?

WORLD WAS BUSTED WHEN I GOT HERE

i pull my boots on
& walk on down the hall . . .

i go gardenside

for lawn

for air

for the abyss above

& the girth below

i take a folding knife
to feel useful 

to feel prepared

its titivating

its diy smoke & mirrors
& a poor shadow of our ancestors

can-do 

tinder-box 

flint & steel

rich soil psyche 

i breath cbd fog

everything hurts
i am out to pasture

in a hanging-in-there lawn chair

fox at my feet
food questions in his eyes
