Eyes

Closed

As

To

Be

Invisible

Through

Windows

 

Witness

To

The

Fugitivity

Of

Witness

 

There are few television

specials detailing

 

the difficulties of growing

up a child star on surveillance

 

camera         What becomes of

cheaters who move

through dying cities

in lively ways

 

Delay as a displaced

immediate boils

down to waiting for

 

dinner         A traditional

hunting scene printed on a serving

tray is littered w/ recognizable

faces of animals

 

They stand they

are divine they

run they are edible          A harmonica

 

 is served as the meal

beside the humming

garnish w/ a jazz great’s face

on the box

 


                                                                      from The Late Capital Bootleg Sessions

 

Shame

Is

Cemented

In

 

By

Sky

Pie

 

Plaqued

Into

Available

Space

 

Problems don’t find

life in math alone         

 

The anti-festive

low intensity arithmetic that

charts the cutting

of teeth on info bulimia

disintegrates the

enamel          Tooth roots &

a pair of pliers are tossed

into a used pail          Pipes & hoses

remain but it

seems a  heart has gone

 

elsewhere          The mouth gushing

blood turns an apocalyptic motor

Prescriptions of gun

cotton & ether are

pinned on the left

sleeve          The gold

standard is gone

 

Synthetics stop the gaps

pasted w/ licentiousness

& cocky on oxygen

as only interpreters can be

 

Plastic is what

pornography & monster masks

are made of
