sin and innocence
a sense of recompense
this body isn’t his
no emergences

I don’t know who this is
wrap his face up in cloth

If I watch, flesh shadows flash on and off
we’ll all be fat-faced when more come

hurry-home ride, windshield sun
no dimension tonight
infinities fight
they carry candlelight
in the open street
cigarette and tea
baby, come and see

normal life is buried in this carnage garbage
I never see a human form for all its bondage

so come harm to me when it want
I won’t jump

you get bored as hell living here
and it makes you so cavalier
can you find your way, heavy home
with your senses all overthrown?

–

who remembers who?
purple, red, and blue
put your glasses on
a panorama view

wave your silence there
like a hand in the air
not opressed by any big nothingness
here’s a postcard from the edge

let it fill my eyes with everything
that gluey color can prove
then laser remove

if nothing’s permanent
nothing’s permitted

not your body bare
or covered up in here

living cities break apart and float like nightboats
this station’s on an ocean with no shore to row to

so come home to me when you want
but not so blunt

I pretend you’re still living here
and your lovely eyes do appear
I pretend that you’re here with me
it exhausts all my energy
