When I write and think I feel like EveryWo-Man, that I am nothing more than bits of all and other people talking to myself. Them. Us. And today please bear in mind that which we desire can kill us before we reach the oasis.

MIRAGE

Strive to wake slowly

To answers, to morning

When I hear best

When I am best heard.

So, what’s my weather?

Clammy Kurt Cobain,

Decapitation dreams

Verdant commotion

Microchip dread.

Don’t shy away she said

Pretend you can’t see

What you see.

Here comes your tall order

Last Coke in the desert,

What you thought out loud

Sacrifice bunted,

Bent light rays for,

Made manifest, integral

Part of the landscape.

In dubious collusion

With your dawdling beau

Inspirational quotes

Make you puke,

The unsaid, uneasy.

There is no rain.

No water.

No lake.
