In Between 5 And 14 - Penal Colony

time passed

is time contempt and sore

time sat still

while remains reset the months

wrested in angles

clear back to atlantis

sorries to believers,

tried to let it happen

a never-ending blackout

catscan sees nothing.

we lived in between

5 and 14

under napalm and propane

statements with no centainty.

gestures lumbered and graceless

and in between

5 and 14

engine and knock,

still they work to fix it.

here comes the locust

sweating last night’s gin

here comes eris

riding

side-hack;

plasma drips poolside

from the roach motel

spores multiplying

in and above the fountain

hang from anger: transferred

snuck in through the window.

we lived in between

5 and 14

under napalm and propane

statements with no centainty.

gestures lumbered and graceless

and in between

5 and 14

engine and knock,

still they work to fix it.
