| SENT NOW ______________________________________________________________ Send a broken mind to the heap Send its cracks Send its splits Send its disjointed, incohesive swelling posterior to the chair And fry it with dismay No time to glance back to the Broken rearview mirror Send nervous signals to the foot To brake unerringly Swerve, Swing, Maneuver Out of indecisive impulse, while Amber flashes a gaped smile Send matter beneath belts of safety hurling forward at incomprehensible velocity Pounding an unconscious consciousness into the fine grains of the stark, black impious dashboard Permanently paralyzed as though insidiously attached to a blazing meteor Wildly careening towards destruction Send message to broken mind: "One can only err and wander for so long." Receive response from broken mind: "As does the lifeless driver driving with no destination, thinking with no thought." |
