Ode to Crack

 the sun’s whistle
    cuts through...
       landslides in my brain
     a cloud’s sleep-stained eye
                winks and bleeds
                its dewy discontent
as i cut the sky’s neck,
     watch its head roll out into the starless            beyond
                   and i prepare    to disfigure its body
          with
                   the island Earth’s fragile
                                              broken
                             Hate.

green blood oozes from
                   my harmony heart
 and black semen from my veins
                     this skin, this bone
                              this hopeful flesh
                    pest,
             as the poisoned lips
              of the hungry horizon –
                                      time’s jagged memory                   –
plan to bite
   and tear my dreams,
my integrity,
     from my sacred halo hara

chopping, chomping
           i am ground
    good’n’evil blurred
              into raw Disgust,
                             vile              vile
   naked thoughts
       stripped of grammar-rule, vocab-sore
                         i am
just another flailing lump of human meat
                                 making sounds, and seeing sights
                                                            lost in the Bad Bad world of...
Human Judgement.

I beat my head against time’s promise of love, of honesty
                                                I scrape my soul against the crooked comb of the lice-man’s friend
                                                                   against the tuning fork of Academia
                                                                                    against the rugged, rugged
                      push ‘n’ pull     of Advertising
                                                              and Law-obedience
I sit, stony-faced, stony-minded, both face and mind being chipped away
                                   by the strange expanse
                                         that engulfs me, with color and noise,
                                         and urges me   to
                                                    suck it in, to be a part,
                                                 to interact and
                                                     make my presence kNOwn

           I trust my brain no more,
                 I want to die from this place, this time
                              I want old meaningless meaning returned,
                       to slack me from the grip of tentacled nightmare  ,
                                each vision, each being, a part, laughing
                                      playing, me the pawn
                                            me the pawn
                             where, who, what i am?, what is This
                               it is a moment, but it will     go on
                                      I don’t like this ride.
