THEN

THEN

can see now
why you were
so quick
to do him
in

then immediately deify
deny his
flesh
   and blood reality

make him
the most sacred being
has ever been

stands to reason
    none of us
want any
of us
    getting too
close asking
him questions

about shared
human experience

AND VANITY PRESS

AND VANITY PRESS

I am
all about death

and vanity
press

this i
(readily) confess
to
     both

    woman
and
       God

the chimes
in my head
            both essence
of poetry
but also
   cash register

and so I write
of holocaust and genocide
things that
        lately delight

if not
    why so tiny effort, huge
reluctance

to stop
    doing so?

the sound effects of
slaughter

    so much
one can do with them

LINE

LINE

you drew a line

said this is
the law, the rule,
the commandment,
the ordinance,
the regulation

suddenly
      no sooner had
you signed off
than the line curved
bent multiplied
wriggled all
over
    the page
my page

not yours;
on your still a single line
plain as day

cutting across the page
East to West
right to
         left

dividing everything
North South
               into two
unequal
hemispheres

you drew a line
for all time


OF THE AGE

OF THE AGE lies live lies survive lies fly all over the place so much destruction in their wake their instinct being to replicate split like mutant cells divide and be careful how you yourself do define for here service to the lie loses the light goes completely blind for shadow has shown too easy it be to mistake the love of a death embrace become the thing we fear we hate the beautiful hypocrite of the age the lie in us so consummate

SO SURREAL

SO SURREAL

O (for black hole)
it has become so surreal
so much
   tunneled under I no
longer feel the ground
to be
   safe
       under my feet

no place to shelter
no place to hide

they sow fire and death
from above, supersonic vampires
(must give our
    instant mistrust to
mythology
        of eagle)

so
  messed up and mixed
the blood that God (so you
tell me)
wants
   to keep apart
        churned together so thick

and who can
demarcate, who can divide

madness from reason, demonic
from divine
     Heaven from Hell?

and you don’t
   have to read up on rapture
to know we are
in Hell

except that place is pure evil,
unmitigated by
                this stupidity
                              that we
see all around us, bombarding us
from all screens

definitve of humanity (no not
science
    or philosophy)

and there are
        chasing the white rabbit
wondering why

no sign of Oz

just bad stand up politicians
so horrible at comedy

should say

              truly terrible
and leave it at that

O for black hole
(this Universe not going well)
