Leaning against the guard rail, back to the slot
his hirsute face oiled with viscous unguent
hanging merchandise for the one-percent
Shinbones rubbed with coal and brine
manzanita atonement
lift of stained fingers to supplicate the angels
chasing over winding pavement
finger signals panicking swift
coca leaf soldier Mother swelling
milk of event horizon fantasy
roaming in the jungle of illusion
compassion filtered within senses
Dirty Master serving shaded babies
serving the paltry schadenfrude words
enslavement rats by bloody saws
the chance agreement of sentinels
rodeo smack house maximalists
driving up the price of spiritual nodes
apocalypse zipperhead mandala meditators
squeeze the apologies from tense lips
head fake clans of lawn dart arteries
climbs on chimpanzee escape cult faces
Buck Owens warfare systems
Who switched these farthest volcanic stones
resetting ingrown udders
forehead libations offered to malcontents
foaming ingrown spores
and the resting point littered with leaves
dark pool peacocks, sitar scars
loosening of the effluent plug
evacuating the canyon.
