[Tangential] 012605

...

nothing lost in a point of reference
but alternate layers of red and blue,
polarized beyond dimensional analysis
to visualize the essential nature of Mars;

dilating pupils remind us of blurred reality
despite expansions teeming with soul crossed vision,
while sun kissed missions bring fruition
to the concept of coincidence.

does causality warrant reason?
or is love the only proven truth?

...

wooden men escape from metallic shells -
oily from falsehood granted by a paper deed of excellence -
running madly from the steel sympathy of minor courdoroy curtains,
their progeny emigrating atop bamboo chutes and latter day sainthood.

faithful warships drudge leagues of their own capsized constellations
in search of unsaid doorways
and
comparing northern neon and the hunter's utility
and
discovering tectonic rationale in the aftershock of heartbreak.
...

star-crossed lovers unite
under banners
incredible without tragedy
improvable without connection

united stars cross love
under pretense
of security without sympathy
of self-celebration without dependence
...

the taste of her blood
ignites desire
from bowels frought with
fortune
faint with corrupted conduction
with manufactured magnetization
with parlayed photoemission

as

her dirty hangnails lodge deep into
scrape
scrounge
scream
tissue ripping from a rusty scalpel's leftovers

...

ventrical verisimilitude pumps confusion through its railroad veins
all for the caustic needlepointing of liquid dreams.
a 20 sac will do.
a 20 sac will do just the damage i need
to purge hate with despair
to find solace in poison
to make love out of fiction.
