needs be

bridebreeder scissor my lips

crack the bell in my ear tell

me how I will die

 

crucified upside down in

LA, KL, any abbreviated

city?

 

while molecules percolate

to the sky

and green flashes ring changes?

 

(yeah, whatever...)

 

there's an algorithm at work here

an ache, something rheumatological

a power series which predicts

 

rising terror, while strings of snot

(all that's left of my interior)

slide to the ground

 

and gouts of blood well

in the eyes of unbelievers

facing what's left of the east

 

hey Michelangelo bravura

comic book hero

the selvage

 

of a Navajo rug running

hot through your hands

you're a clickety click an old

 

movie projector you're

interrupted motion in reel

time maybe this is

 

how I will die, pasted

in plaster high over the heads

of your torsos
