ERADICATING IS A QUICK JOB

You get a
discount on reality
if you trade
your mind
"For real!".

You get to
feel
all that's beautiful,
when you laugh
the sun down red.

You see
all that is nature
in caged supervision
& the great wild
a documentary on
canned television.

You know
this place is
no miracle
it was made by
the Man & his machine
& the only thing that's good now
is what passes for a-little
human being.

Welcome to
The Arid Land
this is what we have
worked toward:
every impossibility
a fact upon the book of time,
every checkmate,
every goal scored,
every Pegasus
orgasm (i.e.)
every obscure
calling & the finished
product as a result,
as an insult to God,
has made us
a companion to darkness -

 We are bored
& bound to
spontaneous combustion.

 The terror is from
the immortal spirit,

 The pain is in
the sweet.
