The problem is time

Pondering 
   erotic conundrums. Vision of 
time? sidewalk down
   subconscious moons 
and obscured trash
    Coolness emanates fantasy now,  like the people 
who rush through America 
   


What Kicks?

Inter subjective 
tongue remixing (Evocation is important)  
  
Half read flesh 
hyper improvisational  
         
Word is important.      constructed as 
          identities 
that 
   and of me

dreaming  



Isolating The Future

People 
   as contradictory   
vessels 
      of possibilities

 I crank up 
         language.
        It bleeds through me
           
Can we 
      radio 
    with no regard?



We Came Through Language

   Did 
         you 
download the 
ego again? 

         Composite characters 
representing ourselves as words. We 
          came 
through language, 
                                    I  
          was the cryptographer 
translating meditation and human 
  liberation techniques

    Like you, I speak of discovery 



Uglier Self

I am 
America hungover
     discordant
dreaming      I have 
         tiny universes under my 
fingers      I have
          factories
 built on uglier self 

And the 
      blood strains 
of stars and 
     much larger 
       parasites
