The Uncanny Episode

while dreaming one afternoon about perfection what else the notion erupted that wakefulness is not it's that simple but what complicates matters is the mania to compensate for the perceived unperceived or vice versa during which time the totality is left abandoned on the linoleum floor of a tedious Interstate toilet screaming and wiggling for its muse while strangers coo and burble inflating what had been deflated to a necessarily insufficient degree their flaming giraffe necks a ladder to heaven for the pontiff's fire walkers out for a spin on inflated tires a rare treat where the uppity meet the radio's white noise call letters written in blood registered at the Magistry say this not that or else bloatings and floatings down the Nervo under a pointillist sky with contrasting edgings and hedgings into shapes that were things unspoken only on yesterday's back pages when logic was weak and visions many and realized along dogmatic lines by mulish agencies of caustic influence leaving a sea of burns in its wake organs of action flaccid as stipulated in all the training manuals all is vehicle as long as time ticks all is medium as long as home sicks and the hearth is lost in fog
