now then in here wave-ing here when (a tonal drawing written in poetic form)

if when is then
and then is when
and now is on and on
what then is now
what now is when
and when is ever then
and where in when and in what then
 do stories we tell they all begin 
and do they ever ever end
and what it is they all intend 

now then in here wave-ing here when

in here i’m bound then for most never found
‘mongst a public litter that’s more renown
and this numbing i’m feeling in here when
keeps being spreading on out all over
dissipating your children aborting them now
raping us all on deeper mo’ deeper mo’ deeper
in the languishing retard of vicarious simulations
and you keeping on marching on just like you told
never minding ‘bout this something
 you done’n’nicknamed it me 

crowded in crowds you aloned   aloning all alone
syncopated hallucinating in your own plastic arms
advertising patronizing emboldened perverse-nations
leeched you leaking on into a same one another
you wanting other but you scared   you so scared!
of the feeling little left that you feeling it’s leaving
and you never ever ever make’it so you be seeing
what you wanting i’m always waiting in here waiting

but you keep on sucking on them-ed used sugar titties
cunningly consumed in the daunting consumption
of your own hypnotic and callous-ive consuming
you hallowing the hustlers desecrating your time
swelling your heads with masturbating rhymes
auctionating in palladiums of a popular clime
and you erasing me on mo’ furthering on away
smothering in spells of a boundless dismay
then sewing up into things of animated clay
as nows and thens and ever whens
keep keeping right on entangling

intussusception-ninged-ing (a tonal drawing written in poetic form)

 

**intussusception-ninged-ing
(rivers us known-ning bent pulling pulled
 bending ‘round the ‘lan’ic ocean
for making mo’ us all should
oughta done    be seen seen-ing)

 

aboding dark mattering imploding on
through in the middle of this passing on
feeling ‘round in them borned forbidden things
spawning on in the holdings of this swallowing dark womb
                       stole! pour’d on this journey sowd
                           by some them who us!  by who’us sold
                             herding dark bodies herded there    herding here then
                              there tied one to the scared trembling here in the other
 in’us self !throwd bound ! there squeezed down in here!tight!
 undulating notions surrounding and pounding!
 rubbing titty nippled ‘rections warming hardening there harder
 ‘gainst the hot protesting breathings of lil’l round titties bare  
 scrotumed logs pinioned thronged there wedged there bumping
 in wet creviced rows ‘gainst bare naked buttocks’ backs
 who ‘cause they scared!all they scared     they all scared yearning home 
 in the thick sweating rushing of hypnotic body odors
 us fed feeding here feeding on this what here in there swelling
 lip twisted ‘round and ‘round knotting ‘round in’us head
 gnawing down on inside another on inside
 this some other some ‘nother body selfing
 here swooning rhythmnic enfoldings
of them dark fleshing walls                                                
aboding dark mattering imploding on
through in the middle of this passing on
feeling ‘round in them borned forbidden things
spawning on in the holdings of this swallowing dark womb

the dark rooming (a tonal drawing written in poetic form)

the dark rooming 

                                                               and this . . . 
                                                                                                    it must be a room
                                                                                              but no walls they appear
                                                                                          away             there off yonder
                                                                                    !up close all up around me!right here
                                                                                              is there a door somewhere
                                                                                                  with a knob and a key
                                                                                                  and a light to turn on
                                                                                                  to make it so i can see
                                                                                            who this somebody else other

and just so long as it stay dark
wont be no need that i see
or that i worry ‘bout who running
                     in here                               alone
                          ‘side of me

dissolving here inside this soliloquy (a tonal drawing written in poetic form)

dissolving here inside this soliloquy 

there something else in here
much older than the rest
aloned
it barely whispered
through the plaque filled gaps
of tobacco yellowed teeth
and nothing is seldom said
there no clear thoughts now
left here in this head
just shadows
in syncopating motions
!i hollar
and it quickly rolled up
in tiny crumbed morsels
for making believe
lulling me on
wrapping voodoo charms
all around up inside
the muscles of my arms
making me tir’d
and my children
and they children they too
these hands
my hands!
they paddy-paddy cake patting
on the tom-tom drum
stuck here in the mud
on the potter’s wheel
spinning ‘round and ‘round
trying to get theyself
some-some
dark eyes they shining
they shining dulled
frozen wide in the midst
of thick africaned lips mumbled on
in us fingers
it in here caking
the clay that it baking
and more slowly it pouring on
in this moulding again

why us holding the unfolding (a tonal drawing written in poetic form)

by myself in this dark
here inside of me too
erasing me on
like what they doing to you
if just i could hit it one day
like with my fist this a way
!kill the mother fuckers!
and make it all go away
then might could find somebody then
who be a somebody who
just a little bit closer
to a real me and you 

why us holding the unfolding 

here there this something
in here
it what i caint never see
‘cause there this some other else
covering all over me
and sometime!i wanna! 

but i scared 

there wont be nobody left 

that everything here all around me
just be another strange new
like when i first brung over
inside a boat with you 

just be alone in here
locked up inside in myself
with nothing no where
that i used to left

water coloringed 

they spreadinged and swallowinged on
in this low droning stare
of who this who in here
who for they selfing
purpled grey splotchings aloninged
wrinkling and drying on out on one another
growinged hard too soon 

welfaringed moments
they chanting and caressing us all
bleeding on through the veils
of invisibled-ling faces
running on out here
all over us all 

they spreadinged and swallowinged on
in this low droning stare
of who this who in here
who for they selfing
purpled grey splotchings aloninged
wrinkling and drying on out on one another
growinged hard too soon

paste-tings paste-ting paste-tings (a tonal drawing written in poetic form)

paste-tings paste-ting paste-tings   

the laughing
is posturingly looking
at the fear crawling here in our faces
formulating these few visceralizings
so make it being just like “we all this!” 
like they all be world synergizings 

we strutt’n ’round n ’round here tweetering 
in barren arrogationings swelling
greedily ravishing our bleeding tail
in depravening cogitationing swallowings
of the long bony malversationing arms
in this bemusingly numbing
 serpentine-ing be-ruse-ing 

so tediously we choreographing desperating
to smearing hands cheering in public ejaculationings
we hypnotically wallowing and rolling on up
in this festering debauching seductively spawning
in the pixellating tongue-ings of our m-oxy-morons 

dry mouths are drying exacerbating carnivoring
just cofflying so ever so correctlying 
we acting just like all this   it aint even being so 
sanctifying the longing of our wanton groan 
we’re wonderings here in wanderings
ducking in and out each one another’s clones
crashing into ourselves just becausing 
becausing because we unknowns
