for Eurydice

for Eurydice       beyond the blue-grey haze Darkness fell      but wait           space or shape       was, for a moment,   enveloped in source.   a passing storm    on an existential level the most pure, physical idea     an endless well of presence at arms reach       anonymity has allowed me to       lose  my fruits    my fantasies,   slipping away         I become enraptured  by the degree of my rapture         swollen with milk    or illusion   depending on the lightingPicture

​World Wrestling Entertainment

for Stephanie McMahon
 I could do little but blurt out      an absurd joke  a kinda silly thing to do         through the ringer in the face of God   gassing up a       type of hell, confined with  the lowlifes, the battered, the scum, the tweakers the world can’t see life for the landfill        sucked into      Triple-H and Vince McMahon  fucking           each other  God, it really was something, wasn’t it?           irreplaceable, and even          a kind of beautyPicture

    Here you will find a blue room. A golden dog. Submerge in chlorine. Begin to drive. Place your fingers on your wrist. Settle in. Stay awhile.
