The Abeying Nightmare

 In darksome advantage, nightmarish advance, the mysterious figure, imminent, cloaked and uncommon, soggy when crunchy was expected, sought me, timelessly chased me, beckoning with moment and meaning, across deserts and desolations, thru nights and darker nights, amidst starless exhaust and the crumbs of commodity, till finally, as all suns went dark, all sons of the trenchant fathering, the wasted clock tower moaning one last peel, and terror could only be semaphore and true, like budget cuts and debt ceiling, the figure caught me, stopped me, a father of invoice and remit now, the sepulchral voice of ghostly dark nuance, gaggingly ghastly, a scram and depopulation like a thousand wobbling screams tho silent as a toad's grave, towering over me, an in opportune skyscraper in colloquy with destitution, with jet black eyes and noisome licorice abatement, bony skeletal hand extended towards me, j'accuse and oh my god, holding, proffering, like the most last of last rites, there before me, pale and wraithlike, the hand’s burden, a pair of socks. Shee-it, I had forgotten my socks!

Words

  From the thing itself, beyond seasoned aptness. Life is like living but blurred by you were listening. Aspect ratio telemetry in myriad languages smooth as rocks approaches time to look. Words piece together things or things find words. Endlessness is a choice, written big in words as shiny as geese. Words simply take the time in radiation and radical point. Stein wrote the heft of nothing special, start there or whatever. You can slowly adjust the franchise, commodity's inner workings. Subglacial quips, subliminal washouts, frantic azure in the breeze of frosty Friday: these special sparking hallways slyly enjoin. Maybe you read too much into reading too much. Further on is where you’ll stay.

Bacteria

  The horde manages. In querulous crowd each bacterium rattles swords as a function of ruction. Ruction brings the bear of action. Bacteria has stuff to do and do this in the present listing pressure to do. Ready to inflame but not entirely negative presences, bacteria gather momentum. Like you and your tidal dreams, bacteria think prosperity at every moment. The think mind expands to giddy unlimited and frack (wrenches the rock). Universes are for filling. The candy of delight motivates the heated action. Tears cannot quench. A star, a star hangs proper in the sky forever while you witness. You are the energy you eat.

Marsh

When you become a marsh, fundament weighs heavy. Marsh fancies of community share mud, weed, home, predator, and predated, and love could complete. The various searches in time maunder silly, slanting light of hunger and amplitude. Sometimes the water goes away, like opportunity or time. It's only death taped to the map. Sometimes the water becomes a flood insurgency. Shifting seems so staid. No weeds exist except you decide to recognize. Frogs wriggle into nothing while establishing just now. You know how stasis comes across at the foot of heron or egret. Beaver always a mercantile delight to further the avaricious view. You are ready to go. Your towns give up on places bred to life. Warming error of margin in red shift out of time. At least you almost stand amongst. You can stretch your anointment seeking landfill for enterprise. Drab referendum of rich colloquy with profit goes great with banishing. Beavers fit the place they made, mosquitos make diligent clouds. Why don't
