(for
each accepted explanation of a phenomenon, there may be an extremely large,
perhaps even incomprehensible, number of possible and more complex alternatives.
– forgot who said this because i don’t really care)
i
was at the beach
a
man, naked, was running around
screaming,
“universal!”
i’m
not sure if it was a good acid trip
or
a bad one
the
cops cuffed
carried
him to their cruiser
and
noticed me fully clothed
under
the franchise of the sun
asked
me what was up
“i’m
at the ass end of the universe
trying
to figure out if it is constipated
or
has diarrhea”
i
was frisked while i enlightened
that
cavities can defy gravity
until
the dentist forces a filling
they
weren’t happy
but
the naked man was black
they
had what they really wanted
and
left the white to watch the waves
i
lit a smoke
no
one else spoke to me
apparently
encounters with enforcement
gave
me an identity i don’t really possess
this
one family kept staring at me
i
approached them enhancing their unease
and
said,
“the
problem is that not only are people raised to
believe
that there are such things as fairness and justice
but,
also, that they are entitled to such”
then
disappeared from their sight
which
is all everyone really wanted
oh,
what am i doing out in the daylight?
when
will it be night?
where
i can walk the streets
and
repeat,
“i
once prayed while on a bender
it
came back return to sender”
title
the poem the sacrifice of words
or
scattered thoughts and fractured words
or
please don’t think i matter
so
you will leave me alone
right
now my gums are bleeding
from
too many cigarettes
but
you can bet
i
just lit another
while
thinking about
the
thought’s of others
while
writing,
“in
the art of soft reflection
i
am dancing with deception”
oh
where’s my music app?
i
want to play “freak on a leash”
we
need to eliminate the word “capish”
because
no one actually comprehends
the
dividends of a divisive mind
