Wiping Windows/Buffing Mirrors


…it becomes nausea, our vomit to pavement, our ripened souls depleted: those curious subtleties, such incessant sneezing, while spitting up phlegm: such achy bones, those years to grayness, plus, something alarming: this portrait of self, this image to winds, at sudden interests: those irony features, depicting silence, where reality is prone to webs: this fire of branches, our cadence rupturing, by gravity tugged by whiffs of psychoses: those endless daughters, our breezy conflict, at angles suffocated: but mother was mental, and mother was scorpion, and mother had stingers: this multiple animal, this ingenious insanity, while unsure if souls would evolve: those coping agendas, such sonic effusion, our sacred, secret, intrusive arcs….     …it lives as sickness, validating something invalid, or comfortable with philosophic anguish: pulled asunder, staring at impracticalities, spun for spinning into wilderness: our brains interlocking, our intense unholiness, our private teal fantasies: at adoration, or pash contagion, remote an interior skate-raft: an angry soul, or too calm for normality, or too concerned for partialities: our dying youth, attempting to re-attain, so reckless a wreck and regardless—this sign posturing, those redemptive kisses, at miracles too silent to address: our revved reality, our stupendous masks, while Love unveiled so softly: at smoky red seas, those casual, petrified eyes, while nibbling poisoned science: our churning intestines, this nauseating profanity, our arid, unchanging specialists: thither, we dive, so steep our shivers, at life with addictive treasuries: this Great Thirst, forever unquenched, while escaping self long enough for sensation….     I meet chameleons, I seem in awe, I walk away: for life is serious, where playtime is shunned, while too much seriousness is eschewed: those thin layers, this bag of Doritos, this can of chili: so odd with particulars, so gifted with insights, while confused, (but something must be haunting): this valid assessment, those invalid hunches, to presume such come from pitted insecurities: to remove our mirror, while looking into mirrors, it becomes sort of difficult: but many specialize—at this dream of daisies, so adverse to interruptions: those diamond panthers, so ecstatically rich, while many are claiming ownership: this brief address, so conceived by brevity, while years flew into memories: our reciting daughters, our student infants, to become so specialized at living: such fresh water, such salty insights, where one presumes humans are slanted.     …it becomes nausea, eating vintage thoughts, or paying homage to immortality: to admire our dreams, or destroyed by infatuation, while some souls seem to imbue our psyches: such ambivalence, a spark midmorning, a sudden explanation, (where we vet something invisible): so authentic, or so deliberate, but despised by something singing: this cello of affectations, this violin of frustrations, while we presume to goodness: to push neediness, to invoke particular angriness, to insist father is evil: at deep inculpation, at livid remarks, to make a child feel stupid for mentioning sentiments: this push against gentility, this retreat in honor of gentleness, if but some sort of individuality: our starving spirits, our tender spirit-hood, our days to Agnes so involved: at unlocked channels, gawking at uncivilized padlocks, where one enters and deceives an entire family: our lives to winning, our arrogance highly susceptible, as never an inclination to wrongdoings: those narrow gates, those narrow horizons, those homogenized societies: as living sameness, so entrenched, while too naïve….     I wait tenderly, I evolve through resistance, I back away long enough for others to think: as rethinking tendentiousness, or re-posturing ubiquities, while so strange at believing in karma: this difficult position, this laughing truism, while reality becomes harsh: such ruthless ambition, if but to have ownership, where humans appear as properties: our achy bellies, those small miracles, this infinite, solitary, gregarious planet: our daughters to souls, our forced aces, our anvils slicing oaken emotion: this gavel for sinners, this treasury for nausea, conversing with patch nosed snakes: as abused with triumphs, as never a similar battle, while opinionated concerning other cultures.
