Gone with the VVind

my chair collapsed
I lay supine on the floor
raising my hands
my shadow flew twice
my size
and splattered against the wall
I cried out to the neighbors upstairs

these days really are heavy
We're swept up in movements
I'm collected in bins

Gone with the vvind
is what they'll say

Facebook'll have me forever
and my fiance wilt
upon reviewing

EMP doomsday
Just me and my bike
I'll skim the coast with paperbacks
wind down with cassettes
of old friends
and times in youth
when we had the scene
by the nuts
we really were giants
we really had nothing

there's a certain power in
such and such
there's subjectivity flowing
RAPIDLY THROUGH ME

twice
we'll live
RIGHT

HAD A PET CALLED
STUDIES

HAD A MISSION CALLED
FAILURE

HAD A KEY WITH NO
LABEL

HELD THE HANDS OF
STRANGE WOMEN

RESTED NEATH
ULTRA MEGA SKIES

REAL FOOD
INGESTED

REAL TALK
IN SPACE

GOD WITHOUT TIME
WHY HAVE YOU FELT MY FORM
AND MOLDED MY MIND
INTO SHARP PITS
FROM WHICH THE OOZE
OF FREEDOM ROTS
SLOWLY INTO MOUNTAINS
ONTO MY PLATE
