discourse and conjunction

[dead man]

yo



contour a recollection. trace a border between
war and serene. river gorges and streams, endorphins and dreams
let the world disagree once their madness corrupts
speakers amplified to tell us we're not happy enough
advertisement, adversarial, i've cancelled the plug
ate a box of nails for breakfast and a sandwich for lunch
addicted to the disarray. my habit is dust
mouth breathing heavy after sweeping it up
media frequency jump impermanent like passionate lust
his thoughts darkening. moving towards the back of the bus
vampire sluts and servitude. the power is near
the hour is nigh, our Auschwitz appears as towers and tiers
suits and a tie, cowards in line to order a beer
Orwellian the telephones. unimportant careers
louder than clear, static megaphones in velvet apartments
metal in your cerebellum, lead in your carcass
deadman, enters to harness your repression and darkness
write your pain, let it resonate, then measure respondents
veritas plus barry bonds plus whatchamacallit
bat shit crazy. strangely there's this sudden catharsis
i've felt for the beach. fields and open spaces sunny and blue
but romanticizing nature doesn't cut it for you
sat by and smoked her cyanide. huffing her glue
then hummed myself a tune til our discussion was through
saw her clearest on a stormy night. the 2nd of June
a thunderbolt's growl behind affectioning croons
scratched a scab open. sang the leprosy blues
colliding in your Camry. our vehicular muse.
midnight mascara and rouge. cocaine whiskey and wine
salt and pepper - cloth and leather - lemon and lime
ambient shine. pupils dilate. now it's Ambien time
beg your pardon please.. this disconnect's a habit of mine
pictures phrases quotes and concepts twisted to bend
into visions you read. concrete consistency like liquid cement
no dimes and nickels to spend, it's rhymes and rhythms instead
the devil was a capricorn and Winter is death.
