We see art deco sunsets and
paisley palm trees
on a citizen ship
in cheddar seas.
Up goes the sun -
an impressionist's blot, while
nor'easters push pigments
through pastel parking lots.
In a sense, we are blind in
this rush hour mosaic
in a photovoltaic landscape
on a Californian wave.
In another sense we're naked
as the greenly palms flit
as the sun waves goodbye
to our citizen ship.
My rotation suffers stagnation
when hiding exasperation.
Along my lonely arc
energies spark
elation
dark.
This hell, corruption's counter spell,
balances a core photovoltaic cell:
charging me inside,
tanning my hide
to impel
pride.
Loyal notions submit to lose emotions
to push motions of grim demotions
within their cosmic house,
a stumbling, sick mouse
their potions
douse.
Showering in fluoride, such memories died,
chemically tongue-tied. Demise's tide
crests to drive back our poor pack.
They attack societal plaque
worldwide to guide
our slack.
