Monster Medicine

plasma barrier force field pressed against yielding bubble slipping through where have I been precious energy spent with no return foolishly so many verses wasted treasure hunting down helpless vapid creatures left inviolate monster medicine not cold heart beating icy breath swelling preening scales ticking claws filing sharp words swishing long slithery tail pheromones of worthy prey lurking invisibly close deep rattling sigh reptilian razor head slashes fro coordinates locked Kodachrome melting vision dissolving not his homeless heart matriculating from detachment to isolation deep dark hole retreat and sleep forget the day expand horizons smash boundaries find fuel for fury's freedom roam green pastures trample evil woods ramble fields of desire turn the ocean over scrape its depths no limits to this madness no bottom to this storm train ran away knifing the night sparking the rails bearing down the moon bust out this cocoon shoot the stars drink the black spit and slam these gears slice grid squares into spinning sucking vortex yeah and she was always there you just stopped seeing her see her now and see you've finally found your monster medicine
