GARGANTUAN

GARGANTUAN

my room is expanding

I am expanding

everything is expanding
emptying out
taking up space

this, as I checked with my
man De Grasse Tyson

is specified by
the recipe
  
      prescription has it
                   nailed

(never using the word nail
without conjuring with the obvious)

you must check
          it is possible
if infinite time in an
              infinite universe

that you might
        have misread the message
or not
received it at all

on your lonesome out there
contracting contradictarily
or at least
      counterintuitively

heading down to a size
where subatomic gets huge
takes on
       features best
described as epic and
gargantuan

this everything notwithstanding
whatever will be
        
and so we must conclude
that right from the outset
was
   huge aspiration

room tearaway expansion
including both
        window
and door

and yet, as relayed earlier,
nothing seems to have changed,
all appears stable

world still the case in
its logical ways

as much as is deranged yet
perfectly in range

MR MAMBA

MR MAMBA

me, I am
more elegant
than
thick

nore elegant than
you think

more
mamba
than anaconda

but as my
special cocktail

works its way
into your
Anais Nin system

I become
that much
more elegant
and eleganter

it’s
exponential
         quite simply
put

simply but
off the charts quaintly

BOX SEAT

BOX SEAT

“innocents raped
with napalm fire”
      King Crimson

it is out of the box now
too big for the box
volcanic pressure

and we see it for what it is
so blunted and stunted and
yet we
     still recognize
the evil

for all that they
have drained from us
it is still unmistakable

to see it for what it is
we needed to break with you
destroy
   the peversity of all
that cultivated trust

and so
      dissonance, discordance,
stuff so
atonal
      multilayered, structure
of the labyrinth

architecture of
          mind prison scryed
through a prism

the music was out there
prophetic

        waiting for us
to catch up

MAGWINA

MAGWINYA

do i want
to eat
your magwinya?

well, sugar,
pop the lot
in my mouth

hot
from the oil

and to keep
the Celcius and
Fahrenheit
seriously up there
soaring
      everywhere

let’s go to town
with seconds and chilli

crazy red pods and
green eyed demigods

seem to have come
          from the heart of
Sirius
    core of Betelgeuse

magwinya: South African fast food: deep fried dumplings eaten with a hot vegetable relish and polony 

KANSAS GEORGE AND THE FLYING MONKEY

KANSAS GEORGE AND
THE FLYING MONKEY

Hello George
I am
also
   George

funny about that
isn’t it
    George

people might call it
a coincidence
but there
   are no
coincidences

where are
          we George?

are you the blue fairy?
are we
    both red fairies?
are we
   the munchkins
are we
     in Kansas, in Oz
somewhere in the 60s
down
     in Hait-Ashbury

carefree
    and happy
enjoying
a summer of love

now
   don’t go
wicked witch on me George
fall on that
ball all
serious

go total
flying monkey

jumping on that ball
as if it is not
all
   just a game.
