CONTAGION (BUDDING HEARTS ON DISTANT BRANCHES)................... They drove in packs through
isolated suburbs, salivating in green phosphorescence, dreaming in
rings of heightened blood clots - the serum would be tightly packaged,
delivered same-day (despite driving winds and leeches),
Christ-on-a-pony express – maybe insect eyes fed weeping alleyways, a
“strange thunder under modernist dissection” (you trust them far as a
hooker can spit – you try feeding them all bent out on young frothy,
hooked up in haze patches with alien sickness…) – I’m gonna tell you
how it all started – airborn contagion of course trusted no one –
lickety split and there’s your enema…demanding fluid he tapped both
arms, prompting via headset “a segregatory measuring cup of highly
personalized objections,”; a “chartreuse commentary on
restraintive verbal idealogues” – nude pullout of shanty-town
fuck – boys on the farm milking it for Big Brother – crusted space of
snowcats and fog shipments…budding hearts on distant branches…blue
movies bursting free of shiny spit……………………………………...........................................................................
REPENT REPENT REPENT REPENT REPENT REPENT REPENT REPENT REPENT REPENT REPENT REPENT REPENT REPENT REPENT REPENT (Our entrails burst forth in neon splatters, hair dyed, eyelids puffed, jeweled spikes through supplicated wrists, sky beckoning through bullet-proof pains) – the lovers criss-cross limbs and organs to explosive and undying applause. |
