I know you - we’ve met
Before in nights
Of passive - I shook
Your hand

No neon luminescence
Buzzing egress
No mantra I believed
Or could not inhabit

No salvation in juvenile
Toilet wall Parables
Against ceramic altars
Orgiastic nausea!




My supporting act of self
Performance no less
Tired - distilled with first
Night disquiet

Shake, rattle and roll over
To the self-thought substitutes
Of concrete life-lines
