Oh, Those Fiery Flames! #006

Come all ye saints, 
politicians, and crooks. 
Lay open your soul 
let us read 
like a book 
the message it holds

Sing us the song of our little sin

Give unto Caeser & give once again 
Broke down foundation
Marble now humbled
Let it crumble & tumble
& stumblingly bumble
down the highway to hell

work comes from energy outside of us

we may dispense with the delusion 
of believing we make it happen. 

Come all ye lookers, 

hookers, and hounds. 
Pray to the sky 
as your feet leave the ground
wind sings your song
through a white FEMA flute

When a child builds a sand castle 

the sand is not “partnering” with her: 
it simply lies dormant and allows her to work 
it into the proper form
—adding water if it is too dry, 
fitting it into the shape 
of a tower here 
or a drawbridge there

Free autumn sunset street 

shocks & brakes out on the Graham Street Corridor

As far as concepts go, 

the walls that've been closing in 
are no longer a concept 
but now a fact. 

Even the trash icon 

compacts trash. 
For this reason alone 
the gurgle of high-octane 
Nascar engines 
highlight the backgrounded 
white noise

A stone slips beneath the surface 

of a fake lake 
as webbed feet paddle 
across rippling fake waves 
to investigate.

Finding there only briars 

and brambles 
and thickets to scramble
He turns his nose up 
to the rest of the journey 
as an eagle 
with a ten foot wingspan 
launches 
from one side 
of the lake
& a Heron
{from the camera}
makes a hasty escape
