I cant shut Miller up





I cant shut Miller up
hes a voluptuary who talks incessantly
vivaciously  
to keep up with him I fire synapse after maddening synapse into the air
through the rib-vaulted ceiling that is my skull and from it bolts of shivering light 
peer down through the cordite smoke and tickle its floor
                                                                                           and looking up from the batshit 
pinholes blink like nuclear stars and inbetween on wrinkled sheets of tissue projections 
are cast by reels and reals of purple memory blue experience and yellow 
unrealised possibilities

I run my hands through my hair
the light shudders
motes of dust are stirred
I want to fall back to sleep and I imagine I am dreaming in my bed beside my lover
her warm breath at my cheek my breath on her breasts
sleep deep sleep
but his voice sonorously washes across the chords of my nerves and their intone and vibrations are irresistible
they writhe like slick serpents on tines of wet grass or blind earthworms burrowing to evade 
the ivory beaks of famished birds
I cant shut him up
I cant
I also wont shut him up 
his fast phantoms break between a blink of an eye and the scarce clue I have that they were even there are their dull irradiated shadows evaporating on the film of my eye
like the scent of fresh water in the desert or the faint rose smell of a feminine ghost

he was ironworked
black feet planted firmly in the earth
legs and thighs tensile stanchions supporting the array of his agilestacked spine and
stalwart crossbow shoulders
                               supporting  perched atop this massed erection  a bony skull 
his perceptive and cognitive watchtower
which beheld the green sweep of the surrounding fields their flanks of hills and trees
and watched the shepherds who ran from themselves

manually wrought
strapped tight by DNA  RNA
forged by strands longdead  though sprite and turbulent  contained in the loins of his mother and father
who divvied out  unremarkably   the materiel he would eventually be composed of


we are the rawest of crapshoots
                                  the vigorous shakes of die of untold facets
faces no one could draw or possibly lay odds to and no green visored oddsmakers would dare lay or take
and like he  a sculpture cast in a one-of-a-kind organic mold
a hot spasm of semen
the clutch of a hot receptive ovum
one distinct splash of magma hurtled into a blue atmosphere  twisted and spun  and fused congealed  fecund

perhaps  the single advantage he perceived
an advantage he never lost sight of
or questioned
or maligned

he was nourished fed watered and provided for

his existence was evidence
his strength and prowess was evidence
unfortunately he also witnessed other forms of evidence which did not flourish as he  
and his regret  an unmitigated regret  was their malnourishment 
when it didnt have to be
when they were robbed or stripped of it
                                          in sharpwhite broad daylight
without warrant
happening simply because it was deemed or wanted when they yet hadnt the means to defend themselves from it

later he heard it defended
                              This is a dog-eat-dog world
but he was far too straitforward too combative
and understanding the black bitter reveal he countered
                                                           I am not a dog  And neither is anyone else

but what really waft in his brain to the insolent remark was  This is a god-eat-god world


he did not believe in gods

They could eat themselves and leave the rest alone

ROT



Sieg Heil!

yah They werent gonna call it that
Theyd have some other cry for it but itd be the same fuckin thing
so he was readying  warming up his shoulder
really stretching it out
                                               getting it pliable
                                                                                       he was gonna be spectacular at it
able to sling his arm up into the air at a crack of the moment like a fuckin gunslinger 
                                                                                                                          Billy the Kid
Billy wasnt gonna have shit on him
he was gonna be so fuckin good They would have no idea he was mocking them

an exaggeration
a farce blown out to the absurd
for as best he could tell  Devotees
were extreme 
were outlandish 
and hed be sure to fit right in with his pompoms and cheerleading get-up
tears ruining his eyeliner and make-up
Mein Kampf would follow in record time
                                                                     possibly surpassing the utmost Very timely
Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept
and Obstruct Terrorism Act  
of 2001
what an act!
he could see its tiles shaking loose like those of the space shuttle
and like Challenger
doomed
kicking around for only a matter of time
Fuck!
(maybe a little crestfallen)

he had hoped that marching goosestepped would be outdated or outmoded
itd be a helluva lot more work getting his hips loosened up enough to legitimately mock
the chorusline
he really didnt wanna be a poor actor for his part
he wanted to be convincing
had to be convincing!
he wanted to snarl and spit with the best of Them  scream for blood  throw bodies on
bonfires 
Ride that unfurling wave of Entitlement lying
                                                                  at the foot of his utter contempt and resentment

hmm
best watch that
best worry he might sound bitter
had to keep it vigorously in check
                                                                  bitterness always tends to carry an acrid smell
like Black Death seeping through sachets worn like birdbills to ones head or how honey
didnt always hide the taste of medicine carried in its amber
                                                                                                          certainly a child
wouldnt imagine their parents would slip them something nasty
Oh  but something nasty they did let slip   
something spun from out of their control
as if they ever had control
and taking on a life of its
Own
traipsing ways unimagined
one mans garbage another mans treasure
but that whiff
that stiff unsettling whiff
of somethings gone bad
and something smelling that it ought to be buried
and very soon
or spores form
and spores fly
and so many unexpected things become tainted


once begun
Rot
is hard to stop
