music of the peers

zee-ray-chrome
string clusters, I mean
cro-magnon wombs
crooning along with the
radio active with whatever
tickled their inventive
proclivity

so it’s my turn to
refute diagnoses condensed
as pharmacological
contrails the high as you far as
you can see vapour mistakes
for memory and
avant garde gestures

it’s in the meantime that
Thucydides is
constantly misinterpreted
a bear trap being better than
no trap like ars politic the
twists of contingent
duplicit prudential

if you’ve been my way lately
you’d have noticed fire
and suitable
brimstone dimensions the
lake and the people drowned
in it not permitted
so much as a mention

and reflections of noir
detected in surfaces
not worth the
selection criteria albeit
their invention’s being
just worth the time it
takes to decide
