WILDLIFE
LAMPSHADE CORNEA SELF PRODUCED AMALGAMATION
CENTER TO THE ASTROLOGY
EXPELLING SHARDS OF GLASS AND ASBESTOS
THROUGH THESE SPHERES
ALL THESE YEARS
REDUCED TO SCRAPS OF MEMORIES
AND WELL FORGOTTEN EVERYTHINGS
WE SEEMED TO BE ALWAYS ENEMIES
CREATIONISM IS THE PLASTIC USED AS A TOOL
TO PENETRATE THIS WELL CONCEPTED APATHY
UNDERSTANDING THE STRATOSPHERE IS A MYSTERY
OFTEN ECLIPSED WITH MISERY
MISTAKEN IDENTITIES IN SPACE
AND LIFE IS WILD LIKE A GUN SHOT WOUND
EXCRETING THE SKIES THOUGH EVERYDAYS
AND OFTEN TWICE REMOVED
CATCH ME SHALL I FALL THROUGH THIS
SEE ME SHALL I EAT THIS AWAY
VIRUS, SHALL IT INFECT ME SWEETLY
DREAMING DEEPLY OF NIGHTMARES CONCEIT
AND NOT WELL CONSTRUCTED
RELUCTANT TO SAY, THIS RAW IS ALL MEAT
PINS AND NEEDLES
ABRASIONS AND PRICKS
SHALL THERE COME A DAY
I AM ALIEN TO THIS WORLD
OF WHICH IS ALIEN TO EVERYTHING ELSE
PIECES THAT NEVER COULD COME TOGETHER
ONCE APART AND NEVER
AND COMES THE PLEASURE FROM OUR PAIN
OUR SELF CONVICTIONS
SELECTIONS FROM A COLOURED STATE
REJECTED VOLUMES AND 808’S
DROP THE GATE
OPEN THE NEEDLES
TAKE ME TOWARDS THIS AND SELL ME APART
ONCE IN A WHILE
I FEEL LIKE UNSPOKEN
ONCE ON THESE WORDS I MADE A FALSE START
SEEING IT CLEARLY
DREARY AND EERIE
FISH COME THREES AND ONES COME THE BLOOD
MY LIFE FADES
A SPARKLED OCEAN
WATCH IT FADE AND SEE IT ALL DOWN TO MUD
YOURSELF
I MADE A TELEVISION IN YOUR IMAGE
DOT MATRIX IS SKIN DEEP
IN DEEP, WE’VE DISAPPEARED OURSELVES
INTO THE ICONS
THE SELF SOBRIETY
POOR IMITATION OF EVERYTHING
AND SCARLET BULLETS BECOME WOUNDS
IN SHORT GLASS SPOKEN WORD PREACHERS
MY EYES PRICK THE SURFACE IN A MASS OF BLIND TEACHERS
IRREGULAR FOR NORMALITY
SUCH AND SUCH REALITY
MY DREAMS JUST WANT TO BE REAL
MY HANDS JUST WANT TO FEEL
BULLETS ARE SET IN PLACE
ONE FOR EACH WORLD
ALREADY IN EACH AND EVERY FACE
(WILD)LIFE IS ANESTHETIC
I JUST WANT TO WAKE UP
AND TAKE THE BULLETS OUT
I WANT TO GET BENEATH THE SURFACE
I WANT TO SEE WHAT’S THERE
I WANT TO BREATHE THIS AIR
I WANT TO MAKE IT MINE AND SEE IT OUT
AND HAVE IT THERE TO HOLD FOREVER
KILL SO I CAN EAT IT UP
AND SHOW THEM WHAT IT MEANS TO REALLY BE ALIVE
INSTEAD OF DEAD AS THEY ARE
FOREVER AND EVER MORE
