Tacit giggling
Electric euphoria
Vindictive and plastic
Semi trucks, clicking at every opportunity
Mashed into a soup of perforated sheet metal, stirred thrice, spread on toast, and stolen

Mango chutney
Avocado strings
Epiphones like the pain you know is coming
We’re out of room

Burning
Burning forever
Exceptional pinpricks of light 
Speculative claypot in a thick room, kindly shielded from the hoarders outside

Glowing walls 
Honeycomb of calculations, but no place to sit down
Fractals of noise and drops of lotion, in unity with nothing

Run, far away
Please don’t look back
Never ask questions you aren’t prepared to swallow
Sanity is precious, and nobody has time to eat

Warmed croissant
Joyless arbitration

So easy, nearly beautiful, and utterly impossible
Think too hard and slip, lost, into the dark

Charming mirrors in everyone’s eyes
Don’t stray too close

If you think you get it
You don’t
If you want to get it
You can’t
If you hate it
You should
If you love it
Forget
