well goddamn

the world is turning backwards.
a particularly odd frame of mind —
over-the-top over heels and down the stairs
toppled crate after crate of florida oranges;

bloodsucking monsters have become my friends
recently, through a series of pictures
that flash over and over and put me in
a particularly odd frame of mind —

a coiled wire strikes at my neck
the best whiskey in the world couldn't save me now;
superman seems to have partaken of it, and now he's in
a particularly odd frame of mind —

the noise blasting at my brain, at
a particularly odd frame of mind —
an earthquake of IQ 150 cackles like a wicked witch
a sea of green, a sea of green, a sea of green;

rows and rows of god only knows
boxes and boxes of the hounds and the foxes
years and years of sedentary fears
a particularly odd frame of mind —
