Not guided but enthralled
we habituate against a wall.
They think they fly
But only crawl
Deceived and now left grieving
Cleaving to somnambulant abodes
Made fresh and sharp by memories of waking worlds
The swift snapping snarl of calm animal ambition
Made solid like a sandcastle
With sandy towered walls
but you can't stop the waves from
crashing down the doors
BLINK BLINK BLINK
In the bright bright lights
Airport hospital walmart bright
Shining like an angels wings
Sanitized and lacking for the love of living things.
CLICK CLICK CLICK
Go the heels down the hall
How far removed from soft surusses
issuing from soles and toes
Slightly slipping on damp earth and dew wet grasses
Which should at the best of times
Smell a little like shit and a little like snow
Like fast sharp flying knives these vids erode the memories
Of lanterns light flashing through emulsions
And if they cant remember that
How can they remember
the fleshy heaven that is morning
Or how their own voice sounds without
All these echoes
Bouncing
off
the walls
