What Is Reality Under A Cosmic Moon

In this moment

dire destabilization

henceforth

known as

DD

did you eat my cheese roll

a line came to me

hello me

like an unspellable

parallelogram

detruncated

to flat

you mean dead

could I mean that

if I blow on my hands

oh my god!

er um

humina humina

harmonica

must

be

in

that

place

run like the wind up

the

poet

is

a

werewolf

what

is

reality

under

a

comic moon

The Long Game

I’m long

on the long game

but peeps

keep shorting me

holding on to my boxers

(I don’t wear boxers

my dad did

it’s a metaphor)

walk in a kinda

crunched up manner

If you could

see the future

then you would

be me

hee hee hee

be careful

crossing sixth street

on the seventh of November

I’ll remember

6-7

what was I sayin’

about manners

isms, and the rise of

flotsam and jism

(never knew

how to spell that)

to the manners

not born

good neighbors make

good neighbors

some people

oh some people

(very rich people)

understand boundaries

the way a baby

understands a diaper

run your statue

of liberty play

hold up high

a searing flame

in this moment

in this second

second of a moment

I am destabilized

too big a word

for a moment

just give me

a mo ment

back with

a better one

The Not-Talking Cure

the truth is

(i like that

sentence

as hilarious

as it is)

((I once used it

before I think

someone took

it out))

(((I’m going to

say it again

because all these

parenthesis probably

made you forget

what it was)))

((((also it’s the

kind of sentence

in rhetoric that

people repeat))))

the truth is

sunlight

washes out

gaslight

the problem is

it’s always dark

if I lived outside

the cave

what’s outside

the cave

hello Plato!

but I don’t

set the clocks

back once

for the hellofit

that’s hell of it

not hellotfit

(which sounds like

the name of a gym)

the truth is

you could say

don’t let them

pretend things

or you could

pretend things

or you could

do something else

I don’t know

what that

would be

large language models

hallucinate

because language

is moored in meaning

and unmoored in fact

you can say

anything

you want really

the truth is

people say that

all the time

I can say anything

I want really

really?

you can

what have you done

what have I done?

nothing

and that is something

I suppose

something

not

to be …

there are nights

where you hear singing

in the office buildings

as the crews clean up
