Poem
I seem to have forgotten the purpose of civilization we are to animals as animals are to a basket of forks C.J. Jung as the UFO pilot in "Freud Attacks" a talkie a flaming romp through the hubs of hell hI kids it’s time for potty training let's rent a car and take refuge on the runaway truck ramp I reached for the emergency brake got a box of cigars instead one of the 7 Psychological Wonders the six others are too hideous to mention I think we'll need subtitles for this movie 10,000 years of metaphysical illumination and it's still all work and no play Where might we find the Way of Fun although when the black and white keys all sound at once it still makes me wonder like tearing your clothes off at a funeral and jumping on the casket screaming I've always been ready OK that's death wish Wonder number 2 apparently life is not a symbol for something else sponge my brow nurse this is delicate but is it a subset of something else as a catalyst to sensation that's the appetite monster Wonder 3 mom made voodoo dolls from my shit art is the candle in the skull I have the power of death she moaned where language is used to annihilate language using words as an accusing narcotic in the holy 4th Wonder of guilt for all things a lot of ifs in there searching for what's next tinfoil helmets will be issued for the car bomb inferno of the internal saboteur Wonder 5 next a blank diploma emeritus from the Wewelsburg Engram University a knife in the Oedipal eye Wonder 6 needless to say the Clinic of Doom quickly ran out of volunteers needless to say my chromosomes cringe under their bed awaiting a wonderful martyrdom how did we become radio transparent and make bargains with man-beasts I guess a person is as smart as they want to be rather than as they need to be the aid of uncopied ideas never hurts the act of abstraction is child's play I feel it my duty to tell you you can do it in your sleep but yesterday is gone for good mourning and loss leave behind a bed of fragments from Wonder 7 a person incapable of introspection is a total failure as a human From "Engine of Didactic Beauty" available on Amazon Artist Portfolio: http://walteralter.byethost32.com/
