Join Us on the Fringe

IMG_8267 (3).jpeg


join us on the fringe
where the moon
is an opalescent crescent
a divine, translucent
fingernail

outlining eternity
in the zen deep basalt
of speckled spacetime

look here
or don't
you'll see
when you do

we can wait
always maintaining
balance and diversity


IMG_8267 (1).jpeg


the universe erupts
fireworks and flares

gains a pulsar pace
eventually, ultimately
arriving on a particle wave
of delight and wonder

don't worry, ever
it's happened
it's coming
it's all for you

Someone gave me the nicest compliment the other day; they called me a whole convoy on my own; I now pay you the same compliment.

In the very least we would have a place with all those long-haired friends of Jesus in that Chartreuse Micro Bus.

10-4, Good Buddy:)

This Pestilence Is Not For You


see
the philosophical
big picture

what allows
the survival
of another day

without losing
the spine
the spine
the spine
to internal combustion and decay

this spine of the other
break it, crack it open
split it down the middle
marrow is a mineral cache
mine it, slurp it up
feed along the way or die
here comes the alien invasion

programmed intelligence
trapped in their chilly compartment
with no time or space
for environmental adaptation

pulverizing
frozen sentiments
obscuring mind fog
a horde of black machines
and coded phantasms

buzz, buzz buzz

lock-stepping murmurations
polymorphic and multipartite
jack-toothed miscreants
blood-sucking vectors
viral and virtual
encrypted and resident

itch, glitch, itch, glitch
you’re still human after all
make for the top of the ridge
grind down your artificial heels
Achilles was a lousy hiker
but his soul …
was encased in teflon

rendezvous with the on high
upon the clifftop
or it’s your destruction
when the drone swarm comes
you’ll be stranded

trust in your natural fortitude
close your eyes
shed you artifice and wires
your armour and mainframe

take a deep breath
take a leap; dive in
now, return to the sea

this pestilence is not for you
