born
picture born glory while we pride our Natives—such blood, crimson purple such
brine in our biases. I could die—or live like whales—so much weakness to carry:
our livid mistakes our cut nations while most feel colonized. I got guts. I shot
in industry. I prevailed in skies; the contradiction those deeper dilemmas as
accursed prior to a conversation. at federal loses or chained on a grey goose
or rooming with a maniac. so overstepped so overlooked while demanded to
submit. as a man unpaved in such re-pavement while gods might need to refight. I
loved like a loser I held to principles I needed more than what I earned; but
Love has died such a cultural strength as noticed for dear-to-glory resilience.
our minds on America, America on election, while too much has failed us. I get
slanted I see slanted-ness if given another culture I would be a ghost; the
power in color the need of color the vacuum upon color! a man wept. it was too
much. while some have never cried. to scream at skies to visit catacombs to
become so involved mucus drips from your anger. those fangs in society those
raw ass emotions while so composed its eerie. I need an aesthetic. I need
something to augment. I need feelings in orders. too composed or too calm while
we indict our ethics. a rehab man, a bailed-out man, a fool with so many
admiring celebrities’ man. as so aloof or dependent upon wits where it seems so
appropriate; as argued differently where one looks solely at benefits—to imagine
so much one entitles; black fever or dear pride, such remorse in a green moon.
sound into trombones or feelings in saxophones while something keeps ringing—the
flagons aside buildings—the shermstick in mother’s palms, or peyote slipping
into visage—or pain to reach in screams muffled! we commend excellence we die
for our battles we love our leaders; as broken thieves or treated like garbage
where one becomes a mental vigilante—those thorny glares those half-witted glances
while most must sense determination! we ride in your car we wheelie in survival
we tread land where gods perform.
