In And Out The Flesh
IN AND OUT THE FLESH
Sometimes we return here
Other times return there.
Conjecture; construction.
Both imaginary.
It’s neither here nor there.
Free Of Insufficiency: Four By Six
FREE OF INSUFFICIENCY
Worry not my dear friend
For practice makes perfect
Meanwhile further upstairs
All is just as is meant
Clothed In Flesh
CLOTHED IN FLESH
Subterranean as moles
Senses a-twitching, yes
A juicy meal discerned
So, alive a while longer
Underwater divers, we
Cut adrift (sans scuba)
Need break the surface
Lest we quickly drown
USA USA USA You Were Saying?

USA USA USA YOU WERE SAYING?
These self-appointed slick lords
Never as cool as they’d like
Foreverly seeking applause
In the forever even dragons
Left entertaining archons
Have demons of their own
Riding the American nightmare
Jet and ivory – non consensual
The wizard is behind your eyes
In the absence of actual presence
The child imagines companions
Drums up sugar plum fairies or …
Pays for encore after encore
Ends up head in a basket
Soul sold to the soulless
Carries on, on and on resonating
Aleatorically, unapologetically
Their cross to bear
