god i love this stuff, i want to swirl around in these waters for hours

thanks bill, you make me feel alive

: 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.
