I<\/p>\n

5G confusion
\nfire as a mental infusion
\nstay close to the earth
\nand wait for a rebirth
\nas paper heats are
\nripped from an orange moon
\nand set under songs of
\nseditious surrender
\nas half beats linger
\nin orgasms of
\npropaganda and protest
\nfaithless flowers
\ncut short
\nby immortal engines
\njumped, dumped, and slumped
\nupon another empty shore
\nwe’re all just servants
\nof the new cold war<\/p>\n

soulful discretion,
\nartful misdirection,
\nand reluctant insurrection
\ntoil in disarray
\nall these worlds are just
\nplayful words
\nmixed in yellow emotion
\nas we abbreviate and accelerate
\nthis identity machine<\/p>\n

i’m tired of all this tabloid medication
\ni want to live in feline time
\nslender under the shadows of safe-conduct
\nwe aren\u2019t trapped
\nwe’re just cozy
\nancient mother, reveal to me
\nthe furry features
\nof this glorious american night<\/p>\n

II<\/p>\n

ask fear how it faces the day
\nis it, rage revisited?
\nthe end comes quicker than expected<\/p>\n

back-doors
\nand moonlight whores
\non vacation
\ni remember a subtle touch
\nunder summer blankets of insanity<\/p>\n

man of a full moon
\nbent and bleeding,
\na prophet on parole
\nstained books, and stained souls
\nlitter this lascivious landscape
\nthe pen and the gun
\nare one in the same
\nso, write the words
\nspoken from wine
\nwrite them to appease
\nthe riddles of time
\ncracked open
\nfrom a crystalline mind
\nas we refine and reassign
\nthe rapacious repetition
\nof secular story lines<\/p>\n

gripped by another grey morning
\nwe are blissful and driven out
\nby the whispers of floating hours
\nso, embrace the apocalypse
\nof this delicate wilderness<\/p>\n

matched within a facetious fate
\nwe remain respectively unique
\na tired flame, fair game
\nand karma
\nkills us all the same<\/p>\n
