trying to move this dark board
some kind of dangerous sheet permitting only moments of air
this dolphin submerged in blue plastic tubing, with taunting holes
dry tongues
never kissed
persistent sucking jelly lids
will cut you and trap you in netting
and eclipse the sun
filter down through my saline
come down through my coolness
go down earthdiver
go down urashima taro
go down marco polo
under the chatting head
under the incessant need
under the heavy book
under the heavy look
erected great and shining
spewing it's light across the waters
it sends out a trail
it reaches out and grabs ships and epics
pirates with parrots and magellan and megalodon
it hits the ocean it stabs her
it is a beacon, it is carved by her
it is abrupt and faithful
it is silent and screams
she is waiting, she is advancing,
she is churning, she is mad and content
she is birthing, she is celebrating
and gestating and sending out plankton and leviathan and coelocanthii
go down now into the mad swirl
like a broken frankenstein head on saturday night
in the back of a garage, past a baseball w a coral snake wrapped around it,
where you realize that no one will ever see this
blazing glory lime green dream of plastic joy
and sea creatures that glow in the dark and arms pulled out of joint from placing plastic stars on false maple trees. try producing sounds under a fingernail blackboard.....71 red, white and blue bomb pops melting down your chest in purple streams. this is the beginning of what it means to fight silence.
