government warning
on the box
        telling me to
take care
what appears
on the pages

but me
       I hot for it
got a handle on it

don’t give
a hoot
not a thought
about danger

don’t care about stops
drive free
of punctuation

before I am turned Ayrton
going to
paint myself
Ferrari

and red Ferrari too
mad red in colour

red-planeted myself
across ruthless
dimensions

into and through
        (Event Horizon space
folding) the tough tesseract
that speaks itself
through
    the two-dimensional surfaces
of Craig Raines home-
seeking postcard

and me
    so well read, always
reading incessantly

took down (in a
single sitting) Silver Locusts,
Martian Chronicles and

Pynchons Von Braun rocket
rainbow

the flames
   from the tail of that sucker
a sight to behold

if I say so myself, given
absolute and infinite
creative poetic licence
