Market the Soul
I live in the land of the free
Free to get fat,
free to get poor
Free to be a cable zombie
Don't mind the electronic lobotomy
Don't mind you squeezing my wallet empty,
as long as I'm liking
how you sell...

Rising Above the Fray
i read indulgence mid scripted words

what be greater than gutting & swallowing
uttermost concentration of language
critically consummated or otherwise,
communing within written ideologies

The Corner Store
The corner store across the street
Was known for all its cuts of meat
But also it sold milk and bread
And other things you’d need instead.
On Friday mornings folks would flock
To sit on chairs among the stock

When shadows fall, on this hot June night
These walls, this place, I'm absorbed I wonder why
They, the inflicted, their embers, we now throw them to the sky

Touchstones

And the sky was pre-dawn dark.
There weren’t many people out
On paths inside the park.

Consensual
You left behind touchstones
