THE CHINA SAUCER BREAK AGE *

 

         
      Mirror wall caves more exquisite than truth . once
      our route charged with unlimited minutes.
                                  Blood types can go shark tooth . bone
      formations open force . formulas guard anyone apart in
      tent nomadic
who dare screw found with.

      Stone buildings with double pane windows restyle the cold
      high castle . dungeon saves. Devices tap you text quick
      love ! scratch back finds a match : knot records kept
      string mystery loss.

      Bitch on any pledge . may your balls, ducks swear,
      into a thousand peck bits fall. The da-да! Endlike
      clutch, dinosaurs trying for a baby | Anyways.

      Over heard inside the kingdom ? as in sand serpent
      days crescendent blades behead \ An error occurred \
      melon slice red : And you thought, lip moisture
      rising, you’d never scarf anything like it.
                                                                   Where will you,
      Mon
Dieudonne ? shak-shak shake, Medium elect again.
      No . time is ever wasted.

      As for what some bad Papa forbid, dead wise once
      said, sons will swing light . sky sorcerers : cloud
      caught they wait till trop c’est trop! ~ spiral in
      exhume . brush S‘o’S skulls like Basquiat.
                                                                      *Bent . people
      poking at us, what were we taking . on life rails fugue
      fevers run ? who forks less more > lean in here
      round the horns . amazed again.
                     
                                           W.W.

       

         

 

         QAT

       Qat's shaking-off of negative influence
       From Charon’s bad vibes (she is an active fan
       Of Hippy and New Age shibbolethal jive)
     Was literalist: she would let her whole frame quiver
       Like a dog’s after a soak, or as when her
       Body’s heat lowers as she pees. Then she’d sign
       The Cross onto her still (half-)Catholique torse.

       Finishing an action with such a gesture
       Is key to Qat’s sense of balance, while Charon’s
       Main anchor was/is his reluctance to be
     Steady or pinned down like a still jerking butterfly.
       Yet sometimes Qat sensed the tâche of suicide
       Sweeping out from under his lazy eyelids,
       Pauvre vieux, rien qu’un homme ‒ et à peine.

      (from “Charon’s Anchors” by Brian Chan)
