Indelible, the touch of the restless
dementia hours of nothing
dedicated to the honors we
are pleased to abhor in small
plaid workings of the horse’s hair
shouting mayhem in stocks bonds
straining against the drying out of
decency we manipulate the ruins
just to see what comes out of
my madness is beautiful too
far gone in this muddy water
blues gripping the railing
about the digging of my bones
pirating another soul with cash money
brothers, am I my brother’s keeper
of bees in my bonnet and the tearing
away of starlet dancing survivors
on tv surviving in front of a film crew
of 30 eating 3 square a day and catering
to the whims of the masses of moribundity
conglomerate corporate ass kiss maintaining
the diplomacy of the stern reasons you
must bow and scrape away
the ice on the windows and the snow
shoveling out my mind upon the papers
read today are flat and gray and black and white
flag of hypocrisy I cannot work in these
conditional surrenders heartfelt and broken
someone sings I’m a goner and I think he’s
right on time for my next breakdown
the barriers and cogitate on what my
delirium really could mean
I’m such a shit maybe that’s why
I am still a punk to be kicked
around the world down under
with the kangaroo and shrimp
on the Barbie doll I am burning
in my front yard waiting for the peaking crystal
clear ideas to form and explain
to me just what I am saying to you
I love the flow. 💖

I love how you draw us into your mind’s hurricane.
And of course, that it spits you out downunder this time, a pretty great place to end up actually, although, I’d recommend flying Qantas instead of being kicked 😉 and I don’t want to analyse shrimp on the barbie doll… And if anything’s going to kick it would be a roo, so that adds another dilemma…
Thanks for all of the amazing imagery, as usual!
