three robed rodents
rustling thru burrows
of baudelairian basements
blown open by superficialities
awaken the distant thunders
scratched by Jeffersonian lightning
igniting the dreams of freedom
burned across the insipid souls
crying for release from themselves
as the turner prize glitters
in Rimbaudesque phantom fires
adjusting the merciless vagabond
from taking pilgrimages across
lands lit with electric blood
oozing from quilt like patterns
in free form jazz emulations
a cock crowed and screwed
the light bulb in its last gasp
for intelligentsia awakening
into the latest horror movie
forests died and lakes evaporated
while the tortoisian mirrors
refracted the multitudinal sperms
of Wiley Coyote in stillborn angst
seeking love's desperation with
spinning batons set afire by stolen oil
eco-mania inflicted viruses
fostering warmth to cold spirits
engaging in tug-of-wits for prizes
captured from the gravestones of
battlefield losers long gone to dust
as if life actually ends on a sour note
the sunrise surprise distilled into
vagaries to confuse the confused
with Confucius knocking silently
on the oaken doors of perception
vacant wallets of pyromaniacs
never to see velvet darkness again
thru rogain brains unfettered by
rusty chains mimicking sacred crows
screw the poet sacraments
into political lamps
adjust the intensity
to brevities short growl -
satan lives in the fear of priests
ashamed to see truth
thru chaliced eyes tarnished
by three robed rodent’s scrolls
denial comes at the expense of truth,
remorse over the submission of lies
buried by laser beams from catacombs
embedded in the aftermath of chaos
as all ends accordingly with passages
of the planetary ballet continuing
under the opera of life singing falsetto
promises to unsuspecting ears aghast
