Solemn Simulacrum*

Each and every morning
I douse my inner anima
  with Essential Oils™

Then, smashing the glass, I
  gently prod my rubberskin
  til the skelemetal goes:


"BOOP BEEP"

<ENTER: A world of Digital Eucalyptus>

XXXX

Nestling up to the terminal...
  I patch on the BlackNodes
  + my mind daemon surfaces

A Fever Dream of Venus::
my very own halting prob

hang the pervpigs up in the street + taser their little pink nipples
make them wet themselves with dark desire like the cenobites do
thru weight watchers + bdsm we can build a world of discipline
where pleasure is a purple kudzu o thorns woven thru all things

when i met her the air outside was "chambré" her eyes were a color
i had never seen..in the tepid water i felt a desire foreign to me

voices in the cave of gaussian light
  voices in the cave of gaussian light
voices in the cave of gaussian light

i decided to pretend i didn't even want it
to pretend that i was somehow above it all
at night id writhe in bed like a dying fish
breaking all of the tiny promises i'd made
to myselfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

I awake as the human manifestation of a J Crew barn jacket
laid 'cross the backseat of a Porsche, cover'd up in vines
wisps of Starships' "Sara" linger from a slo mo'd cassette
those strange nauseous first chords ripe like old gatorade


(a fanged humidity pressing on the windows)

(the cries of peacocks with bloody plumage)


A sleep verging on the medicinal decades in duration light
intermittent waking every leap year to log the fauna glass
nose prints the sagging of the Porsche roof cardboard guts
exposed the moss outside now inside now outside now inside

I would have liked to have known her like
 
  real people know each other moments before
