Surviving Chronic Eclipses

about who to watch watch the solar eclipse,
my alcoholic allies

If I Understand It
If I understand correctly,
and this seems infinitesimally likely,
which is nearly infinitely unlikely,
but anyway,

Blinks Through Bloodshot Walks
When at five-thirty
In the rubbed-eye haziness
Of ferreting lonesome night walks
The camera-eye refugee
Asleep in the half wakefulness
Of the hour
Peers out of his high turbanned sockets:
Hyde Park's through road links
London's diurnally estranged couple -
The Arch and Gate.

No Brave New World
In the meta-versed binaural wish song beats,
skid row streets of the bottomless pits of Metropolis/ Thebes,
you are quardoned off and printed in a likeness
wronged-vaped, winged
to the wilderness by their covens,...

Upon Visiting Gortmore
The new roves are not like the old,
They purvey an unwieldy aspect
To their elderly kindred folk;
Even on this steep hill forms encroach
Upon an edifice grand of bygone grandeur;
So to ‘Ghurt Muire’ that Jacobean domain

Manic By Design
Too fast! It hurts!
It travels at lightspeed!
Ruins calm. More than I need!
Help me please!
This monster brings me to my knees!
Wild eyed. Animal's panic.
No reason. Life is just Titanic.

Copious substance.
