We begin the zoom call
I only look at myself
Most of me is taken up
With the bedroom window
I imagine a large
Serpentine creature
Of folklore at the window
That only I can see
I imagine a cassowary
At the window next
Then some boiled nudes
A Texas blind salamander
Without the moon
There would be no nighttime
There are some the size
Of washing machines
A friend sends me a message
He doesn't believe in spacewalks
He believes in three days at the gym
Followed by loud reading

It was not the ordinariness.
The pain of rejection. One
night my lips touched
the lips of moon, to soak the
grief. Do not want to cross-
the threshold of guilts, like
burnished armor
taking the law into my own hands.
Waiting for a spacewalk
of the gods to find the culprit,
who escaped before your
own eyes through the gauze
of silver dust. To quit the ground
or not was the cardinal point.
You remained attached to the
faded poster of childhood. It was
a generational tragedy.

'tis the revenge of dreamscape
Atlantic fantasy ride, passengers
Reobserve to perceive again
Anew
Rainballs and mindscape features
jostle vision--time to spacewalk
Defining moments, momentous butterfly attacks
momentum of trains, movement and movement and movement and
Motions of Dreamscape
Jubilant, on top of bubbles
videomen or Hercules or whisky jar
rhyming millions of rose petals
memory games
To the capital city golden doldrums
Cacophonous crescendos
why choose but to be absorbed
Gophers and chimes in Dreamscape
Have you ever dreamt of a champagne blizzard?
adrenaline precipitation
Hearts like bridges, covered
a drip upon the starboard
silent Glory, the three as one
divine--as if possible,
No, great illusion
