quiet desperation
equates to the
matchbooks
they scrape and snort
white lines up the snoot
transcendental hedgerows
that crawl inside your skull
growing like lichen and moss
i’m skating on my head
henry david
‘cause the lake says so
insofar as it speaks at all
something gutted my brain nodules
with a bladed knife
i’m so empty
I can only look out
long enough
to watch the evening
spread and die
contemplation
in the name of the death
of wisdom

Superconductor Reactors

5/8/2023

Superconductor reactors and play masquers
And women in wild costume
Tonight the theater marquees squinted
And sand flies sung in the moonlight
Hands tiny were held, and the mouths were wet with delicious kisses
These were the amoral tendencies
The bluffs
The fantasies quite bold
Caught out of season
The broken debts, the facile ironies
The implacable lusts to cling with clenched fists
All of us were troubadors this night
Made glorious – sing, hurrah! hurrah!
Ha-ha!
With a snap of the fingers
We disappeared
Moonlight and mastodons
Mystics and marauders
A startling soufflé
Shuffling to the speed of light
