Imperfect World

 Imperfect World 


you bring some beauty 

into this world 

it’s so rare 

everyone wants their turn 


you retreat 

into dreams and pillows 

the rain leaves 

and clouds follow 


I’m selfish just like everybody else 

wanting these things for myself

for a moment for a memory 

a pose to remember before I sleep


you bend and press 

against reality 

until something breaks 

out of routine


something’s transgressed 

some jealousy 

insists you can’t exist 

forever at peace

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
