Dissent is a criminal act
Thought is terrorism
The potential justifies
The persecution
The apparatus of
Surveillance
Is driving the State
By for and TO the people
Now is the time
The typewriter is dead

archaic propriety
insisted he act
but he did so without passion
he folded the letter
and sealed it in wax with his insignia ring
the messenger of this letter
would be killed
despite his plea
across the desert
he thought he saw
Isis
but realized he was just tired
and in need of sleep 

the dromedary Ephesus
marched in procession
with a thousand slaves
under the beating sun
a lone Norwegian
sat atop
the great beast
Magnus Magnusson
said to be a genius
at mathematics
was now an expert in antique lamps

slander had a new face
shining brightly shining brightly

steep climb
move to the arc of detritus

EMPIRE EMPIRE EMPIRE
his foundation was ashen
and he carried a load of bent bolts

You are the missing
You are not missing
to be missed
to be missed

I'd lay down in a field of green clover
with a bonny lass of fifty years

Carry the stream
burrow and bough
fjord the distant capitals
dominican eritrean judea

an echo down the branch
of his left arm
expunged
with sterile prognostication
he cassocked  his way
past the rambling
into the entryway of marble and granite
learned gentlemen applied thumbscrews
and deforestation
to his country land
his sweat burned a hole in the floor
and he crept through the ceiling vents
and escaped in 73 Corolla
he was a lemon
but his car wasn't

Mired in the spirit
of the brig
drinking  fighting
pissing off the wall
and 
running through dry dusty
alleys
of barking dogs
chained and drooling
theres no heaven like tomorrow
playing violin
on the floor
He woke up with a tattoo of
a dancing hula girl

the ink dried on his hand
the serial etching
worked its way through
the cerebellum
a horse barked and kicked a pale across the room
Forensic evidence
compelled the DA
to turn States evidence
a roman coin lay on the floor
Tiberius

lack of real self awareness
is a pretty fucking sad thing

the dry foam bargain
wagon planted in west oakland
spray paint
wonder graffitti
im a woken timed seven
working that screened aphorism
tshirt factory day job
sandwich into a meal deal
found exploited mass
hysteria is tv
im a woken four times eight
going for sunshine rescue
or bold moves from a drug wasteland
white man, "are you really that obtuse?"
no n yes
im a token four by zero
 coulda just said no
shoulda akshully
but the patterns sometimes get ya
your no different
dont think you can fool yourself
there are ways
to forget
 right now just
watching tiger lilly
and Rebecca on my screen
