invisible helmet

--Mankind a disease? I prefer to think of us as a parasite on the way to commensualism. (on Fb)

Treat.

1.
my old choices
yapping at my heels
the sound of sub-marble-sized
glass beads sliding
down a tin trough,
squeal of the microphone

whom the angels call Nokomis
fluttering, phasing
shroud of our compulsions
glints of insight

how unfamiliar
one's own tooth can feel

2.
to tug on my sadness
vertigo of the sleepneed thwarted
all is lost save honor

softer the shadow

3.
necropolibation

necropolitotes
abaq bub
run out of underlining
park on the median
eclipses ago
a trophy

atrophy

from that little to this little more

"He was a pair of ragged orange claws upon the ocean floor, forever scuttling, pinching, reaching for more, a carrion crab, a lobster and a boiling lobster pot in one, a termite, a tyrant over his own little empires."
