Apathy creeps over
a beach of promises.

Can a talking centipede
ever stand upright?.

Sofa goddesses surf
with remote expectations.
The stranded word has a
dead spider in its mouth.

The comedy of correctness
no longer amuses.

The waiter closes his menu;
he asks for no order, he desires no tip.
1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0-1-1-0-1-0-0-1-0
Arches of triumph rise
above freed flakes of� skin.
Bread and water, brothers and fathers,
follow the black worth of others.
Cream-colored trash of myself
floats on my sea of friends.
A cough renders
the bishop's corpse invisible.
Down in the copse, risible
ceremonies dance against commerce.
Dense with traffic, my arteries
cry for purity
Echoing sobs of white noise escape
from the room with the barred bed.
I groom Shakespeare's beard
with a wire brush, searching for genius
Fire blush, looking genuine, is a
wisp of paint on the old nun's cheek.
AFTER THE APEX OF LUST
At the bottom of an ancient void
a child wakens from dreams of dancing.
Go on a choreic nightmare
into the sweet dark bayous of fancy.
Tangy black beauties often see
the rising sun of alchemy.
How surprising -- runs of black earth
persist in magma's ocean.
Keep going in a hot rocking motion
while chanting frantic mantras.
Invoking frenzied contras
causes silence in the house.
Crusades are unsound, but under every roof
parents sentence their children to prison.
Juvenile statements generated for an oubliette
make me doubt I am making� progress.
Confounders create congress
between pyramids and castles.
