TANGO

TANGO

because thus
therefore

do it yourself syllogism
waiting for you
to inflict it
upon the world

causal explanation 
         veering into justification

passing Go
getting out of jail free

it takes
two to tango, three to
fling themselves into
one monstrous
menage

and here, by pure coincidence,
we have a syllogism
meant to bend
the world into its argument

convince us all
turn
    us around

however fucked up the premises,
skewed the entire process

leading to,
bleeding into

tango
mango
     no
fandango

words spilling out
both sides of your mouth

DESERT DE ZERT

DESERT DE ZERT

walk through the desert
calling things into being
wishing things into being

I articulate
but the words I pronounce
live on their own planet

sometimes
when you see
ocean you
write desert

sometimes when desert
you write ocean

this is how poetry works
how delusion words

which is the affinity
that allows me to gasp
with hateful admiration

see exactly what you are doing
X-ray specking your brain
as it processes
its a lie so deep, so
outrageous it cannot do justice
to your sacred spoken
mission to protect your
people
transparently transposed
from the
truth of the need
to protect yourself
