gaslight me the movie

gaslight me the movie
of my underdeveloped consciousness 
give me a hand 
take thine arm
without the silent treatment 
and a thank you 
for the mind fook
hoovering is not allowed  

this is not magic but it is
never seen a fly so brave
the invitation is in the mail
RSVP the art intelligentsia 
or Milly`la`Foret's lost inheritance 
embodyed in the stereotype
of conceptual oopart
padded by manipulative faking 

whack my loot  
thu nigh thy sacred book
smiell my surrender thighs
over a fabricated link
burning real Benjamins
to the sound of Marilyn Manson 
pareidolia 
patterns and wormholes and time loops

time present and future coexist
what to do with such knowledge
carved into the limestone
surrounding a city like distrust
lifted in grey moire
over a living ocean 
rocked over engraving rollers
in the arms of a sleeping monster

whatever it is 
it's right up ahead
everything weighed and measured
the metrology of red flags
illumated under ambient withholding
dreamt up into a real world
of Indian parenting techniques
dormant till spring

into the arms of the universal awakening
a kinetic toy is walking
must be the bravest sub of all
to have turned off all notifications
under a gas light on the green screen
splitting personalities
abannan soleil and mistel
disclosed and made public

spinning on the golden wheel
eyes glaring a dupper's delight
hidden underneath an unkept beard 
chin up and hands down recoiling
the circuit does not always 
go round and round
it comes from underground
with little steps

tip toe in the dark
the water is warmer for you there
peowetling peowian
it's not from where i am
cold in the head
cold shoulder painted red
don't pay your rent all at once
is a forever later game.

by a rinelle in Catemaco
reddish purple about the neck
innocent and unsecured
not noosed nor snared
skilled in mysteries and kindness
i mind here finely prepped
a synomyn in liminal space 
past your window into another's partition
