crisi II
I've become a vat of oil, a carburetor burning in the belly of an open and arid field. The measure of time has become a tangible composition of flesh whose loss would equal the chaos I have surrendered. Every day the papers say there is a Crisis. and they're all vying for something terrible or brilliant to end the dullness of this unvarying spiral down the charts. My belly sags under the new weight of seeing time with this self inflicted idleness. And I worry but not enough to feel anything beyond the dwarf star I have openly embraced as the vacancy increases under the rim of my behavior, my erratic and ever new ways.
I have consumed.

Something crazy like using my hydrogen atoms to question your sexual preference. Building structures of Tour Eiffel significance from the Elements Table does not Equal Napoleon. No such intention, sincerely do I have. The declaration of the Exact as the Baroque of Truth is an aesthetic utopia Hawkins would think illogical and irrelevant. I acquiesce.

4th of July L.A.
You are a porcelain bauble with the functions of a rubix cube, and so, I can't imagine you reading a book. In Los Feliz and Hollywood they fill with flavored coffees and long slick energy drinks caffeine and taurine of assembly lines that churn out in the small intestine of the mind, celluloid excretions altogether unconnected to a nature, they do not have. The corpulent Mexicans laying near the aftermath of brunches on Sundays at Port-of-Call; the sweat that forms under their creased skin is more honorable. A congregation of prokaryote on the apartment roof of summer parties are budding and conversing with each other, thus unto themselves on the topic of the pus they excue. At the Farmer's market and Grove, on Fairfax and 3rd the Korean and Japanese men are strolling with their women, whom are guards of a forbidden city. These men are not boastful, or lively, or sick with bitterness nor wear any other masque, they are already entirely beautiful and inexplicable. Alien and distant, the faces I cannot reach out and touch and the words which cannot be spoken are the oceans that separate them and I who always take the Eastern route across Europe. And if their eyes meet mine, these strangers of strangers, it is only a phrase on a postcard in a language I cannot read.
