First World Mind


When the sun shines 

I want to drink wine

like a fish climbs a current

insurgent, purgent

Flowing unknowingly

Growing unshowedly.

The pines rise and fall

to the grime time

haphazardly

Shaving my shoulders 

Blade runners knowing me

Apple sentence, pear breast love

Living memories eating my 

brain glove. People smoking

loudly - sandwiches don't know me

Mountains dip a lip into a hip

Blues hues - Death shoes

Choir, rays harmony

Anthony

Fame name chopped 

Gettin' butt-slapped

Sugar dirt never

hurt the penguin -

Cuttin brothers

hangin' mothers

Milk fish don't 

eat together, but

a rose kill never

breathes with a heart open

Naked lovers grapple

each other - noses infantile.

Kindergartens' bathroom

Middle fingers in the "Bat Room".

Pulling triggers

Nails bails the soulless

Mouldless regardless

Chicken feathers don't fretter

Hopeless
