I look into their eyes and see ghosts

the humanity slipped between cigarette masks and cheap alcohol

caught phrases played through terror jukeboxes

the hunters and their pray

carnivorous and leering

maddened exhaustion and temperature drops

like parallel lives mutated and horrifying

linguists attempt to give nutritious supplements

banter after malediction

in proving this is not a test

somehow i am in the midst of it

journey tablets written on coarse stones

wild amplified honey

daydreaming through the nightmare

reliving the disintegration of existence

radio wave warfare

digital age empire of binary codes

teach them something of beauty

muster some inspiration from the depths

photocopy enlightenment and mass produce it

we are arrived and collected

for prism and for source

to be in the lights

shivering our forms through context

not rotting with the barflies

evolving greater than

these cavemen

so obvious and illusion fed

i sit back and fasten my eyelids to render the chance of escape

in obtuse formats wincing between rays of ocean

sift the image

to

cut new perceptions out of magazines

make a collage from your true history

it all levels out

the compression dies off

the tape ends

and you rest your head

hoping to drown out the sorrow

of all that noise that make

about breathing with their own intake

a collapse within the borders

of self exclamation and resilience

i can still hear them speaking about nothing in the back of my head

at some lonesome table breaking bottles and losing brain cells

nerve endings twist tabla language through blood rhythms

shaking the spell of idiocy from its lair

cremating its lust for disinterest in reality

(composure)
