with so many shed
already those few still left
here remaining have seen
just about enough this storm
is really something more
as if the message
being yelled a new

Three sweet miles of life
Just fifteen-thousand feet
This sliver living in the night
Beyond we’re all dead-meat
Out to grab the milk and eggs
Black boundless sky reminding
Three miles up all tree lines end
This wind we swim surrounds me
Dig down much the ground's wet
Sweet life’s squeezed in between
Out on our lost and mossy speck
Blessed breathe thin film unseen
Turn in to park slow crackle stop
Shut down sit back and breathe
Six minutes up is close to home
Three miles should life to leave
Three miraculous miles to live
We manage feeling cheated

Mazel tov fantastic damage
Floss on gum a savage ravage
Boss to bum a trashed advantage
Glad to pass that task have handled
Baggage tag says craft crash landed
Cabbage patch abandoned plant kid
Tragic sad bad habits damned bliss
Clammed to rapt imagined rabbits
Land grab yeah transact battalion
Anthrax lab spat family managed
Stand to chat gigantic challenge
Ham to wrap a plastic sandwich

What no feathers tonight?
Why not headdress pilgrim?
White shirt jacket tie on huh?
With buckled leather boots on?
Wools pulled over cozy cottons?
While you wonder who redresses?
World fills in with this transgression
—poverty is policies
—centuries' cement
—parallel pandemics
—web entanglement
—clutch conservative
—industrious revolts
—starvation sanction
—under funded love

gotta have a hook
we really want a hook
the people need a hook
that backward facing hook
not a long pointy wedge hook
not a choose a new way in hook
the little backward barb hook
the hard part is done hook
the value claiming hook
that part I will pay for
go get me a hook

Do minds require quantum mechanics?
Can co-location explain human antics?
Must all direction traject from an axis?
Or may dimension be hiding inside us
We know synapse are only reactions
but our sums may be only a fraction
some overlooked oversimplification
of upwards flat-land contemplation
tree/library missed miscalculation
not counting sensations of bacon
a special vector the imagination!
If counting as we would a mass
would an exponential expanse
of thought potentials expand
the universe we understand
as subatomically speaking
combinations got freaky
adding up all thoughts
might possibly ought
to get meaning to
actually matter.
Just killin’ it
destroyin’ it
murderin’ it
slammin’ it
smashin’ it
whippin’ it
stabbin’ it
bashin’ it
beatin’ it
slayin’ it
killin’ life
to death
