No viscous-tricky blend
So let it seep –
Through my death-knell armour scenery
The neon fresco fire -flies, and Nothing,
if Anything, seems less than the unusual.
When we rail, en pointe, to find balance,
When the auto-crows train promulgate
(To, bright lights! Comfort! and time, time, time!):
Is it red I see or an idle transmutation?
So, render me speechless –
Paint me pastel,
Mark my chalkboard with erase
But don’t lose me in the spitting of an eye
For I am fashion, they are stardust
And when I fall I become a little more
Of what am I. (What
Is
I?)
Riddle me: with my soggy super-hero cereal
Gonna sink an Iron Man into daybreak,
Take on a trolley car for a race up to the bay
Come along; help steer the wreck
And we’ll be all that we become
But nothing less;
No less than Anything
– And unusual.
Weird poem. Felt very urgent and claustrophobic.
I liked it even tho I found it disturbing.
