Ins and Outs the Manifesto
spectators! we march!
advance upon the blind
with your cultured eyes
and tone torpedo tongue
rage on molars hail delirium
he's smelling the blood of puppets
ventricles be defiant
the neon carnivals have electrocuted themselves
it's time to eat the high priests
and their goddess Anesthesia
free the nervous system
held incommunicado
to the end of the page
let the fan mail erupt
written in holy ashes
THE ENTIRE HUMAN
A SINGLE ORGAN OF PERCEPTION!
zzzt hisss gurgle
We interrupt this program
to fill in the blanks
must be the reception
win a night with Androgen and Estrogen
those two comics
guess who's at the font door
you won't be gone long
GONE LONG!
somebody change the channel
pull cupid pull,
it's your anniversary
aim it at the carousel ostriches
we are all going to be recorded
find your costume
bird cage for your head
frying pans strapped to feet
the horizon is circular last time I looked
it meets again and again
without permission
the universe is like that
zero variable
variable density
zero density
ordered and persistent
I haven't always slept in doorways
ideas got us this far
c'mon shoes let's lose the blues
