Biscuit
I am an all butter Schopenhauerian
bludgeoned by handshakes
baked in the stentorian
kinship structures between juntas,
in the heat of De-regulo flashbacks
the keynote polysaturate speech on my wrapper
is written in Enochian
My hand-finished apricot glaze
is the Axiom of Debt
Dip me and
quote
alien abduction
is the adult equivalent of The Borrowers
unquote
The way the sea seems all Celtic knots and kung fu
once you’ve fallen in
and the fish come at you like crayons
and the waves are simply lunar lordosis
and soup is something water does for a hobby
and
at the factory
the metal beater
repetitively
folds my batter into the lotus position
before
a semi automatic, called Playboy, loaded with clips of vine fruit
fires with an atonal kerpow kerpow
and I become absent
