Ad Nauseam

Sunshine grows men on ropes
Similar with metaphors and similes
And cold plastic smiles.
Slim, shiny, at first slimy, Then…
Then mass produced body index
Fat and hypertension deficit syndrome-o-matic.
Failure due to faulty, underfunded, cheap union labor parts.
Broken and glued 
taped back 
to the semi-flaccid meat bag’s parts 
Ad nauseam, 
But worth regurgitating 
for the sake of curiosity’s infinite lives.
Will you spare a tired old man a dozen redbirds?
All dead and empty.
Ad nauseam.
Entering ourselves head first, strong
Into the green-blue gluttonous mausoleum nausoleum 
With fancy golden embryo.
Embryo cold , 
with teeth chattering loose, 
Broken from gnawing the misconceived development 
Of a prenatal worm-child.
The background was aforementioned “Thus”.
Inter-missionary positions 
on all seeing eyed pyramids 
Connect myriads of the labyrinth.
Run for cover before the light breaks the shadow fault line 
Of what is right and what is written 
Because I can’t bear to tell you what is wrong.

Sunshine grows ropes on men 
different from the same old, same old.
Mad at the world because like opinions and ideas and optimism 
And a general  surety of a done deal.
Nothing is relative to Uncle Certain.
Just Aunt Be.
Hollow minds can only feed hollow stomachs 
From the, “Why did they even come here?”
Go back home to your party fanciful.
If you think it’s you then why are you still here 
Under the tree that shades us from falling 
Birthmark razorblade sweet tarts.
It all starts over and over.
