Ashtrays & Self-Taught Levitation

how do you know
what you know
isn't an illusion
or a hologram
or a ruse to them
& theirs
why I do declare,
bullshit.

I am f*****g bored
with this

I've been here before,
but I've changed a bit.

I know my soul
must be f*****g ancient
& has taken spaceships
to different places
you know, most
don't own the patience
for any explanation that ain't
ready-made, microwave
layman safe.

as for shakespeares
as for lennons,
maybe they'll get it
if they've mastered dissipation
if they're versed in manipulation
if they keep contained
indecipherable ranges of
insane visions
to which ignorance
is malignant,
if they're excitable &
strange & incandiferous.

if they have eyes in their brains
& are made of diamonds,
if they're kinda like,
sadomasochistic.

wait, you're gunna miss it.

when the inexpensive lynchmen
get bent up & purple faced
pinched pens & been up for days
cause they seen some s**t
& ain't been quite the same since.

nevermind it, they lookin frigid.
this s**t is ridiculous.

kill it, quiet
silent, silence,
sigh then.
keep calm
remain indifferent.

this s**t is ridiculous.

listen, listen.

if you see me missing,
please report it to the police
pissing themselves in the street,
cause it's easy, it's easy.
tell em I only speak in
secret spells & sleazy,
but I know
some swears in dreamy.

the sleepy cellular subject
is defective, so ...
so be it, the pest shall be deleted
lest it spread disease
& eat up all the fleece,
then we'll all be cleaned -
no, not really.

the fiends are still fiending
the fields are still weeping
paint is still peeling
off walls
who couldn't talk
but were still breathing.

the truth is still
spooky s**t,
nightmare things
on inviting screens
& the teeth keep screaming.

maybe they're thinking.

about the end
... ?
