Goldfish Memoirs

squishy brains inside skulls
pulsating, nonsense, memorabilia
take it or leave it
heartbreak made you famous

yes, sensei
my faultlines, the clearly visible
online-offline-U.S.A.
the paradise below

romantic unvolvement
nippon gakki
made in Hong Kong
by hands so clearly invisible
that they touch no hearts, nowhere

centaurs hunting bores again
hot girl parallel universe
Ayers Rock / Uluru Day Spa
I’m so over you

Morituri te salutant

A young black man sits on a bench in the subway car. He wears a grey business suit that is far too big for him. He has a fake diamond earring and scratched white shoes. He looks very tired, red eyes and all, but he is hanging onto his briefcase, going decisively to his meeting.

Seen it all

broken hard
the statue of nothingness

list of errors
the high cost of loving

there is a road to somewhere
in case somewhere cares

free patents
the happiness within

sample minds
slumbering on our laps

ships leaving the harbours
Flat Earth
an exciting prospect

My Phil Collins Modifications

one big weepathon
this generation and
it’s access to loops
and immediate green

watchers, believe me
this is the last science
the systems of rotten
starring a hollow word
hours then days of insomnia
all the fluorescent same

not the vampire meat
the Hell of repetition
dreaming up the Maginot Line

Tape Loop

an intense and beardy life
to hope for

to abolish flatlining
within fluorescent dreams

to stop worrying
about the safest place
on a plane

to go back
to an older folder

The Basics

Notes to Self

back when I wasn’t yet alive
it was a very good year

nowadays
I am an owner
of a lonely hat

who in their right mind, by the way,
wouldn’t ask
to see obese lions

as for the future
I’ll cross that bridge
when I come to it

in Heaven, they say
soft greens
