Inevitable Death Defines Life

Inevitable death defines afterlife

I mull mortality 
thru lens crafted occipital orbs
regarding a better future
experience sing a space oddity – 
whar incessant yaks
exuding a big hurt
emanate as cosmic atomic 
bipedal hominids replete roof lee wax
during a foggy day in London town
despite current requisite vacs   

in nation, with no win intent to tax
earning income sans 
new career in a new town
sacred gaia, 
boot merely regale bing alive - 
till death rattle racks
breaking rocks 
on a small plot of land – 
named abdulmajid 
this hue man vesicle 

honking duck dine hasty billed quacks 
trumpeting as absolute beginners 
hoe ping toot trumpet 
sum dimming sense n sensibility cashed;
screaming across the universe  
gnome matter whirled wide web 
tattered like worn school packs
scattering fractal moonbeams 
african night flight
scouring virtual briny deep

satiating hunger after all
sans respite from stressors 2-tha max
ending after today at al alba
finds me caught up 
in global game of thrones
listening as dueling banjos 
play alabama song 
cosmic forces play bingo or jax
keeping aladdin sane
while mortals on earth join 
fine null scene grim reaper as final acts.

This then bryn mawr clowning bozo
belting out algeria touchshriek anthem
haint no wah shaky spear butta rip peats 
living virtuous like all saints
moss lee same old epithet via matt speak,
comprehending all the madmen
which maxim (or similar facsimile thereof)
generating kickstarting optimism 
among all the young dudes
attributed to bard of avon on stratford;

reaching renown when almost grown
e.g. rose by any other name....
embalming owed grecian formula lovers 
always crashing in the same car
much ado about nothing
amazing amlapura and amsterdam
couched in binary granules viz badinage,
interlocking rem cycles 
during an occasional dream
literary espionage donned 
as persnickety persiflage, quite lame 

convincing brilliance 
to whit, and I say to myself
eventually...all's well 
that ends well sans this game
reveling like any Warhol – 
tripping anyway, anyhow, anywhere
of thrones - n this yahoo 
pledges allegiance n fealty
during the post world war two art decade
within parameters of cyberspace 
cuz crest o kinship I aim.

Ike kin only imagine dragons 
drooling n eyes glazed o’er bleacher
blitzing the madding crowd 
as the world falls down
than lovely bones re: 
unique scrunched facial feature
burning down the house ashes to ashes
twisted countenances wrought 
by this motley fool sought after
baying plaintively baal’s hymn 
(der choral vom groben baal)
by men in white coats attired 

as paparazzi equating lecher 
rocking cradling baby – 
envisioning baby can dance
us content; misconstruing 
sensitive uber up lyft ting preacher
entrusting me - baby it can’t fall
cooing baby grace (a horrid cassette)
a generic garden-variety *****sapiens
doting with radiance 
as baby loves that way
special to self n family 
as a funny sunny teacher.

Credo i.e. to confront 
fear of flying as netizen,
pinging pacifying patty cakes, 
which iz baby universal
pardon jeffersonian airplane droning 
twittering like n angry bird
shrieking that the referee backed a loser
echoing sagacious life lessons whey curd
ballad of the adventurers 
(die ballade von den abenteureren)

congeals shape shifting simian 
with pliant plinth gird
trebling melodic scaffold fueled band intro
shorn in various n sundry 
couture hair re: styled swiftly tailored
flying needles clattering with a bang bang
harried styled uniform 
far from versace clothier - prices absurd
holding wrongly incarcerated 
behind bars of the county jail

boot issued from 
rosy gun metallica sound heard
describing the battle 
for britain (the letter)
evanescence of beauty - 
these words written by aging nerd
hoping for thee to be my wife
from mine kempf noggin 
each n every nine inch nail size word.

HEAVENLY STANZA INTERRUPTION ONE
