as i understand it,

as i understand it,


America is at war
with priority
being:
of the sex
and the sexing of
morality
reality
constipation
and the reflection of the sky
sleeping against broken window
panes
coughing
white rabbit diplomats
labor day cockroaches
paint-job excuses
blow-job excuses
embrace excuse us,
out identity is on the side
of a missing persons milked carton

present day country-men
are impatient for tradition
subconsciously obsessed
with compulsive obsession
understand
civil Wars are green
with necrophilia
and/or racism
and/or surrealism
(deadmen seduced by the colors
of sub-conscious)
afraid of the boogie-man
stealing sons
virginity
is obscene
obscenity
has lost its shock
value is a drugged brain
washed into a new era
of old perversions
crowding the norms
of the notions
of short-term priorities beginning
with maps for birds
who’ve left their right wing
and lost their left wing
in debt for borrowing
feathers and wax from complex oedipus
present-day countries
impatient for a rise or swim

carving the concrete faith we’ve lost time
to read to the future of our children’s future
gummed by satellite dishes
in the sky
where we can still count
how many wishes are left
to turn frogs into prince’s?

18 year old rock and roll saints
are joining the system
because it’s harder not to
know
minds are suffocating
inside gas masked
bulletin board confederacies
hiding in the corners
of bible backed currency
paying for sins
that are worth paying for
hollywood historians
pumping circus crack fetishes of cinderellas
naked right foot
marching in lopsided infantry
hunting witches in the name of saints

allegiance
to shiny demi-gods
have our attention
special
effects are not promises
promises are knocking
up our whores
up our cinderellas
have stuffed their potential
into slack-mouthed jaws
that repeat nursery rhyme prayers
for cows

in the palm of new pastures
make-believe grows
one-dimensional conviction is
also the tooth fairy of
America, as i understand it, we are running
out of teeth
