Please Rise

Please Rise

between watchful 
eyes of a nation
during prototype 
demonstrations 

before  
combination
exhumation
convocations

opportunity 
presents itself 
without much 
of a precedent

sliver of an 
accident 
could bring down 
all the plans 

please rise while skies are raining fear
please rise ask what you’re doing here
inside before they turn gears
still time I’ve unplugged the monitors

during the confusion 
inside the darkness
with fingers of fate 
stuck inside holy pockets 

time telescopes
physics, suspended 
adrenaline pumps
minds connected

while they erect the palace
before they’re established
as stars type out 

their last desperate message

Life of the ****

  Life of the ****   I love your body   I made a map that I study   there’s just one thing   that distracts me from loving   ideas haunt me   they take me out for shopping   through imagination   stretching endlessly   tell me what you’re building   behind those eyes   come live with me   in the life of the mind   we go from the streets   to penthouse high   but there’s something   more precious by design   enough parties   enough clothes   can’t spend hours   talking about sports   give me a novel or a film obscure my mind’s got enough   junk to last months

  Mayor McGuffin We are products of our times  these thoughts aren’t mine  everything passes through us  from sewers to the divine  I vibe on your signal  you wave you particle  merge into a molecule  divide for reaction deaf dumb and blind  slaves to the grind  compressed coal hearts  exploited diamond mines we see through the veil  dancing snake-tailed  impatient for the end  skipping enlightenment  I drive this carcass  despite warnings  from weather service  to deliver you a package
