earth
being
sky.
lit, all lit up
in this urban manufactured abyss,
I stared at her
dance upon my balcony.
the
leaves rustle in the wind
in harmony with my vibe.
it must be the night.
sunshine’s
glare admires day.
earth’s essence is to be seen
when all lit up by sun or moon.
oh
she dances with all her mooness—
limited to our relative comprehension
of another—so both
our faces are lit up.
in
the distance moon projects
a play with lights, action,
and me.
oh
what has this divine
goddess allow to be?
smoke
rises into calm
night into clouds
hieroglyphics
serves the same purpose
as the modern english letters, words. an
example would be the letter capital A—
two lines meeting at a centered point
from approximately 225° and 315°
with
another line creating 45° angles, or
anything similar to that. capital
A—a
function is assigned to this particular letter
as a vowel used to create words
through an arbitrary process of assignment and order.
then,
words are to perform duties
such as being a noun or verb—
đéo
mę sů bđ
hđi
xůa cha tôi nói—
but hieroglyphics are true symbols
rooted with rhythm with movement
with place and with significance.
and before words—
fuck! I say over and
over again. fuck!
fuck!
fuck!
this
civilized form of communication has
no meaning. it is
ultimately merely an arbitrary system to
create sounds rooted only to another arbitrary system, which is
further distancing sound
from song.
lyrics
are made
in this manufactured american song—
oh the lovely sound of police sirens; oh the
flashing lights in the sky
making helicopter noises
polluting my night skyscape.
gazing
up, getting a moonburn is
nothing painful like a sunburn,
actually very comforting, this is
one of the last natural goods. see
how
we’ve brought sunburn and skin cancer upon ourselves?
I’m sure, today we are so advanced
that somebody created
spf
and sun block only to
accept that we are hurting—what
is spf, usa?
sky
tonight, I too am
an actor in this play—with
military air fighters’ exercise
leaving behind a pussy white scar
below the moon.
bombs
flash shock awe
over yonder
the
tree leaves rustled
because I am
sitting
on this balcony being beautiful
music song dance dream painting picture
capture harmony, love
capture life
hôm
kia tôi chơi ở trên cầu
để
tỏ ra cho các mọi người
t́nh
yêu đă làm tôi điên rồi
xoắn
ốc ngồi cô quạnh hôm nay
nhớ
đến hồn tôi ở quê nhà
over
there ḱa
a—hmm, could be a unicorn
or something with a bunny ear—
oh, it’s an anteater.
there
a kangaroo jumping, australia too!
there
a pig’s head with blood dripping
from it’s neck, or perhaps
just clouds illuminated by moonshine.
no!
of course
these are messages, signs, and symbols.
from afar real people[1]
are
sending vibrations for our reception. I
am
definitely being at this party
celebrating
with moon and earth.

real people are the members of an indigenous tribe of aborigines in
