Revving an engine to Steal attention.
Flirting cool furniture with blithe lids Closed.
A tidy splash on a mirror. A Fear
Of belonging an avoidance of Cleaving to Incompletion

As of a flash as of hit by a flash
Or an echo
Of an echo of a speech into stones.

Tone deaf stick lashings who
Spoke, along school railings
Paramount Noise

I got a tattoo of God. You can’t see it
but it’s everywhere. If I seem out of it,
do the math. I was put on earth.
And then you were, making up your feet
as you went along. New thinspo clanks the spank
bank. New emoticon makes a Holocene.
