Darker Thunders


…if life is by violence, and silence becomes temperament, than dignity is by sullenness: those teeming devises, our puckering existence, or more, our feudal resistance: those relic trolleys, those character defenses, this steamboat insistence: where ghosts haunt, those diamond pyramids, our mirrors raking perceptions.  I discovered sadness, as a hopeful youngling, listening to Oldies—or tears this gut-phone, reckoned as analytical, our Sunday night rice with liver: indeed, by gravy, as more, by hot-sauce, that silent adventure: as cursed sinews, or rabid motivation, while finding laughter in ghettoes.  Our metaphors, our brazen courage, as adrift mainly without notice: introduced to goblins, estranged to normalities, at sodium with vengeance: that cistern by chaos, that intrusion comes harshly, around five peeling our training-wheels.
