PLEASE HELP BLUE PRESS STAY AFLOAT

Dropping in on a floater

Ocean water sloshing
up against the curved inner walls
of the skull

It doesn't remind me of what I've become
anymore than a guitar w/a broken neck
searching for the cantilever section of
Between the Devil & the Deep Blue Sea
as performed by Dick Dale & the Del-tones

The octopus wears dark sun-
glasses
              obviously a disguise bent
over backwards on Walking Crucifixion Day

I mean flush w/beer money
& trading lies for kisses

My mind is like a ‘68 Chevy Malibu
busting a U-ey in the middle of the 405

& my heart is the B-side of Louie Louie
played with a broken needle
on one of those old portable set-ups you
might find at a thrift shop
if you look hard enough
