Antennas by Sky Rivers

We vehicle fire, so charming a gesture, at pears a craft-river dream: eclectic nightmares; inverted visions; that old cliché concerning tires and pavement; where seconds are threshed, to arouse death, while to tussle with inclinations: our damage perfected; our lives at motives; our tendons becoming cul-de-sacs. I see power, those waves to competition, our calibers clashing; to sense a hundred grand, by classes a million, plus, that entitled prince—as begging life, while sipping beer, our willows at meditations: that slight remark; those jibs for jabs; that casual, Figure it out…but a blazer aflame, those decades at trainings, to stipple by silhouettes—as Stella McCartney, our jackets losing texture, our needs to ingest by fire-graves—if be it a scream, this search for status, those years at self-destruction—while beige is gray, that top deceptive, our honors becoming suspect—as floored a mind, a mallet to thoughts, this meadow by affections; as retreating his mind, to conflict his purpose, to grip her heart; where reversion is shags, plus, those long bangs, plus, this brief melody as escaping his reality; to sense for special, this magnitude screaming, while so nonchalant our emerald eyes; as never they die, as ever they live, that life to fixing that fancy—to court for black-ties, or that inner jaguar, our years to ditching Chevys—as arriving at Bentleys, that African jade, that goodness gown—where thoughts invert, as reaching their opposites, a passing frenzy over pork chops; indeed, to live, our Caesar salads, our nectar to penetrate fiction—our Chance Chanel, our Olay skin, that tiara splayed in mirrored particles—as living fantasy, afraid of delusion, while bending fabricated reality: unedited dreams; internal novellas; that space between our sexual dalliances—where beauty becomes cliché, as possessing perfection, a skirt as a casual lawyer: if but to breathe, at comforts a tank-top, barefoot in All-Stars—that frantic comfort, while sipping teas, a casual trestle a table by laughs—this gloomy man, to pen and paper, our brains as Sneakers; albeit, to passions, too clouded a daymare, our intellectual Pantene—where almonds are appealing, but pistachios excite, while peanuts are too plain: that art grieving, to love for angst, if touch becomes a whisper. Such bare paradox—as graphic sky-flares, our chips with Ranch—to sense explosion, bathed in Neutrogena, facing our random acts; insomuch, to perish, as proving a point, while exploited our gray lagoons: as preparing for greatness, abated by circumstance, a fantast scribbled in realist lies—as absent of L’Oreal, while textured in bronzer, or to amazement that infant exposure—where glamour is casual, as, nevertheless, we dance for freedoms—that telic ambition, as ontic chaos, headed to Sephora—as metaphorical, painting in broad strokes, but neglected by reality.
