Errands erroneous

Wearing mesh armor,
I go misanthropically into chaos
(Excuse me, I misspoke,
I meant philanthropically,
of course.)

A planet of antique thoughtshards
    rolls along the voidful pavement of sky
          [pleasing formulae,
                 a stacked deck,
                       citrus inertia,
       and a slowly accelerating guffaw]

     An automaton, beehive peddler,
  marring erratically the palace walls,
honeycomb kelp, nacre of starstuff,
        into sleep's senseless bosom
              (Excuse me,
                        I misspoke)
                                I fall headfirst.

            Tomorrow I shall...
      [snatches of familiar music
               stretch impossibly]
wearing mesh armor.
