MORRISON ALERT .. .

. .

treeism

treeism
i’ve been watching t.v.
sparks
there are adverts on the telly
voices
phrases repeat
and like jungle cats they gather
. .
i have been asleep
and on waking
hedonism and selfish abandon
cinema and the lizard
drives past my window
your ugly voices
hot and cold
. .
queuing in the street
for bread
in long winter overcoats
trains and long journeys home
contraceptive machines
thrills and spills
autopsy
. .
religious fanatics
monkish habits
the line of a comet
tumbling out of the sky
Ben-hur… Cecille B.DeMille
silverscreen shadows
Noah’s ark
. .
Jim Morrison meets
with Aldous in the lobby
a cornet… a hustle
Chaplin’s ghost
… types of genus
Sachmo and Zen
the Louisville Lip
..
time to begin over
Houston
the life of paranoia
where the sirens sound
and children play
in Arlington, Virginia
Cincinnati, Ohio
. .
six million jews
the body of the iceberg
catamarans
sea lions in San Francisco
friends
you may invite for dinner
and ice cream
. .
switch the t.v. off
the video on
carcinogenics
where the buffalo once roamed
anxiety
treeism
freestyle and falling
. .
stop making sense
of everything
the calabrese – the shortening
words
mutant sentences stand alone
the age of the drone
where nothing is sacred
. .
the moguls
their fancy cars
topiary
an island of regret
enter the shaman
he is a messiah
the director’s chair
. .
