eyes folding into lemon drops
sweetly soured descent
down toward complicated courses
will-less, lazy, independent defiance
each flicker glows
across a torrent of cold carefree gestures
pummeling a greasy led screen
set to medium brightness level
hidden amongst kind emoji
its stark lonely smugness and perfection
a simple japanese expression
that icon that says nothing
begs for crumbs from a friend it has never met
a torrent of symbolic silliness
it said, “i like you star baby unicorn”
you are special
liked, like today’s corn beef and rye
today we really like you
just like we liked the gluten-free lovers
spawning upstream
resembling an undulating swarm of baby eel
encircling
a new truer than true reality
then there was that smell
pulling
tugging
realtie’s reigns seizing
jerking tractor beams lifting
stink mingling the void
illuminated by each rectangular universe
perfectly radiating on medium brightness level
remembering
taunting
threatening
shedding light onto its glistening walls
its deep heavy breathes in rhythmic sync
deafening and pounding all round
boom boom
boom boom
boom boom
cozy and warm.
“inside this womb or belly?”
“a tomb?”
boom boom
boom boom
boom boom
hazy lights shimmering
littering each view
thousand upon thousands of blue heads blink and then slowly tip
incanting a spell into their own truly now universe
illuminating virtual realities
on medium brightness level
pulling the gazes ever backward
washing soiled wonder
comforting a confused soul with four bars and full power
as one
already forgotten tear
falls
