CONCORDAT

the Universe
produced
a concordat

has
an index,
a glossary

however
it has
neither
epilogue, nor
introduction

is bereft
of
pages, lines,
acts and scenes

which is
to be
expected

what you get
when the mind goes
so left-brained

WILL OF THE PEOPLE

WILL OF THE PEOPLE

so now
you are
the people

its perfect embodiment
and I
by same
definition
am denuded
stripped
of a
voice
disenfranchised

whilst you
are all
voice
all snapping jaw
curses and
demandings

but there again
in your
anti-
humanity
you don’t sound
people, person,
human
at all

just this ugly offensive
blood-sucking parasite
history
needs to swot
to save
our narrative

or smash into nothingness
with a thousand, a million
a billion baseball bats

we
can pretty
much calm it

a home run

TO THE BRIM

TO THE BRIM

we hatched together

one heart, one
soul, an
item,
a commodity

up there, however,
the duality of the stars
belied as much
as bespoke
the mythology of twins

to ripple that perfection
to become the chimera
of one beautiful
sexual beast

let
afterwards

be so much
afterglow

it feels like
we are become hologram
that the Universe
has become hologram

and
despite the
sad reality that is
realization of distinctness,
separation, difference

we are, at least, common in
this
being absolutely soaked
through
each other
(with
and in)

full,
to the brim

OFF

I’m
human

scream
from the top
of a mountain
I’m
so
superior
best
of the lot

pause
for a
selfie

fall
down

fall

off

CITY LIMITS

welcome
to my darkness

from here
you can see
the lights
of the city

absorb the sights
of the galaxy

survey at your leisure
and believe

all that is required
is just a
slight shift
in focus

narrow down
to pool of shadow
beneath a street lamp
expand to
engine of the Universe
at the heart
of everything

so far
away to render
time meaningless

ravenously devouring
the light in relentless fixation

redefining the limits
of all we dare know

PRETTY

PRETTY

you saw
yourself
as a creature
of truth
and
enlightenment

but have become
a pretty dull
and obvious synonym
for some
pretty
dreadful things

SERVED

was served by
a machine
whose
programming
was quite
saucy so
I invited her
over for dinner

not knowing what
machines eat
or how
they stack up
when it comes
to social
nuance
and conversation

HOLOGRAM

HOLOGRAM

viewed as a
machine
I’m definitely
breaking down

viewed as a
hologram, a projection
from a
reality composed of
multiple dimensions

then my
image is fading

today I notice
my right arm j
disappearing, soon
it will be gone

no longer will
I be able to
write all
those many
many
many things

nobody takes time
to read

COCKROACH

COCKROACH

some chemicals
leaked

we all
died

could have
been worse

could have
been
intentional

all of us
lined up
to get sprayed
and die

(after we paid
for the privilege
the service
being
outsourced)

all of us
happy to be
reassured
it’s the
Will of
God

DE RERUM ROMANUM

DE RERUM
ROMANUM

gonna
fly to
you

takeoffs
landings
dives ‘n
climbs

really
working
that stick

or to
get to the
heart of the
matter, yet
staying grounding
risking nothing
between us
to (though
it is your
element)
the vagaries
of air

no, let’s Roman
road this one so
I can go
Ovid and Catullus
and Sextus Propertius
and sad
cynical Petronius
whose lewd satires skewered Nero
and had
to open
his veins

not forgetting Caesar, every Caesar
the good, bad
and ugly and
smart
Marcus Aurelius

my Praetorians instructed to
guard you and pamper
and dress you
in that
deft Grecian style that
makes for Classic sex
(calling
ferrum
as I see it by
its blunt
Latin name)
