The Roadrunner Makes Noise


I must be sick or muffled or a failure; to possess is not to own and to obsess is unhappy while mutuality might ease the blotch.

such
fallen pain where realism is unfair while honesty wanes; this dying property this feudal eccentricity where most avoid it.

those foreign pruners those meddlesome whisperers while one might need sanity; by taught passivity where it must yoyo while people are screaming and groaning or aching for guidance; this phrenic device this intimate cadence while faraway something seeks refuge.

                        I spoke with geese they understood but one asked if I adored confusion; such audacity to point to facts while mother-that-way is refueling;
our crazed nightmares our feral phantasms where it was nice to paint phantoms;
            this realm of rivers this flow of omission while you adore every word; to unleash me to unravel me or to tether me to chaos; this dead alien this riddled pavement or pure hatred shooting through us;
            it kills softly it agonizes while it hardens or it becomes pure desensitization; (while we worry about love or never satisfied where our wants are unrealistic;
running from sheath-to-sword, used or uncertain, while mirror-talk is disgusting)!

I do not fathom. I think it’s unsanitary. And it seems a sure shot to a clinic.

what was I left with, besides what was given, where Love was infectious; those charms for some are like poison to me where a delicate development becomes something transparent; this see-through alienation this misappropriated affection while many haven’t met their own standards; such sweet contagion, to ask for passion, while staying present doesn’t mean reciprocation; by death a man may love, while death is unfair, as to utter its disdain for him.

                                                                                                I was young and evaluating sickness and couldn’t commit like brooks to meadows; this lasting
relationship
this coarse pleasure
                                    while twigs and walnuts or peaches and desserts watched and cringed were sounding intuition as a Swan was lonely or needing persistence where a soul was gnawed upon, regurgitated and spat to chipmunks.

            by friendly ostracism while we can’t include color in a state of mind where we wish we were uncolored; this fierce eraser, but it met this page, and it couldn’t erase a damn thing; where one exonerates self, while one utterly blames others, and such reinforcement by parents;                            tortured lovers wild lesions while never a second thought; from person to monster or sophisticated
to mediocre while admirers have figured the formula;
so much unseen, if but we knew, we would panic to claim freedom.

I’d Save The Reader Years

    The beat becomes sickness. A long crucible—a drilling ecstasy. I was losing focus, feeling forbidden, if to self, if to mirrors. So curs...
