Ins and Outs Magnetized By the Field
Ins & Outs Magnetized by the Field
light air music
ejected from from the module
into the surrounding beaks I mean peaks
re-entry minus parachute
flapping arms swimming motions
there is direction
there is magnitude
kick stroke and glide
among the pecking crows
working at the edge of panic
gave the bastards the slip
a car wreck on legs
a bad selection of impressions
in the darkness and fog
because my attention span
is more mosaic than photographic
and mosaics imply rearrangement
ah well two hands and two feet
can wiggle only so much
step and gesture only so far
trying like a hummingbird
on Uncle Death's shoulder
to weigh in for good
neither abandoned by grief
nor orphaned by humor
the destruction of info by info
& vice versa the other way around
amplifies time's heartless plot
for reasons as follows:
2) there is no 1) and thus begins
3)
3) may as well get used to it and
try not to let the space between things
dictate
nature abhors the vacuum
the two U's right left stereo
4) quadrophonic
5) sleep picture
6) pull eye muscles pull!
7) the tissues somehow stay separate
8) we should leave this place
9) three out of five
much of what occurs does so
in the absence of my say so
the secret is this
the Earth may be flat
but it's not square
