like a shadow game on the
slow side of a cloud
nerve dance narcotica strings
pump the sonic interlude
w/tombstones & chainsaws
in 6 different dialects
plus one more that resembles the
negative of a rasta sandblaster
but me I keep those drumroll confessionals
in a chainlink tequila bottle
& measure the getaway scooped out of
the inner sanctum echo chamber
as if that rip of melodic resolve
might flutter like a pearl ferris wheel
when your eyes turn to smoke
