of light & dreams

By theBAC

to thou our god
overseer of truth, honesty, understanding
& causality - to god, thus ours to comprehend, the almighty leader
& benefactor, rules over all other lares et penates
from dire depths to sunk skies of ever-lost
& the syphilitic day-player of crazed alabaster bearen screams,
acne-vulgaris faced, the harborers of secrets long-forgotten
& never told

to thou our god
of remembrance & pathetic prophetic tales,
of pharmaceutical bandits & long ago sails, of mystified cowboys
stuck in demonstrous sycophantic rule, perplexed by
engaged, enraged, & delayed inchoate believers

to god our lord
junky pyres full of serendipitous, gory, &
enthralling parsimony
to equate & equalize, devalue & debauch,
repute & recapitulate all seethers
& soothsayers, the unexplainable & unfathomable deity of distress & solitude of parenthetical analyses to calculate “why?”
why those, created in thine own image
turn to devour & defy you

the light in the eyes
too dark to peer & see, capture & receive, decipher & dictate
to see millions of your youths with metal, brace-faced, mouths staring at radioactive cathode rays, mindlessly glaring into projected digital visions
those cataclysmic adolescents with pockmarked hearts & pristine untouched hymens, one day to lie ruined in deceitful serenades, the paradise
of HPV kisses & dysentery tears

to thou our god
creator of backdoor code words & back-alley ambitions,
pontificated, humming in the high heavens & realm of hate
as the boys in dank, dark, damp sewers give tug jobs to each other
& wonder at the stars in the sky & arthritic elders
with senility smile into glass-less windows
& can see polio dogs with measle limbs

to thou our god
seeing those cold, battered & bruised at shelter houses
under cyclonical, hydrogen bomb lights
scribing passwords to encapsulate
the sins of the devout, hand freezing & blood flow stopping
as white cells lose their way
the inventor & inventress of sodom & gomorrah that was the
catalyst for genocidal tendencies of the mass-suicidal date-rapists,
sanctimonious pigeons squealing at falling mosques
to hurry & crack open the earth

to god, that of us
the planner & father of starry-eyed angels on gravel lots
with red ribbons tied in bows holding up shirt sleeves,
straight hetero hair cascading in droves down melancholy face,
cavity hole front tooth smiles blows religion to bits

coming now into new bloom & consciousness & enlightenment,
to sanctify & endure long, dramatic dialogue & diatribe
to further abate ideas & destructive & abhorrent lies like waves
& torrents, pre-post-after-hindsight-thought taught & fought
by mongoloid scholars with HIV fingers on paraplegic bodies

in possible april month exordium of uncle life
as queers suck phalluses & the dreaded meat of leftist,
socially nihilistic dissidents, descends & degrades into the zilch
& zippity of the now

the hot jock hip-rock & bebop tribe of clandestine & catastrophic attire,
sit & ponder, pimpish merry wonderment
& all is left to be destroyed by the rebellious young
with carbine arms & mustard gas pores

catatonic nazis & lobbyists fuel fire for anachronistic means,
ways & delays to say, all is a manufactured desire
requiems write & right themselves to play the final strings as the no-men
philosophize the star maps in the high-speed universe
and solipsistic ideology floats like feces in river water
& contaminate the flamboyant, hip scenesters knocking down
the doors of the dead beats

to though god of mine
these are thoughts & words that you conjure up
& inject into the weakest of your created & controllable minds
i become the greatness you plan for me
as you jumbly laugh & i humbly fall to my knees

quintessential quotidian cliché counterculture & cultivated
sarcophagi destroyed under seraphic moon & deistic droughts
of burdened seagoing merchants & monsters,
intrepid & endowed serpents with intestinal blockage
of feline philanthropists
filibustering bureaucrats & gaunt dilettantes & debased narcotic
barrel jockeys turn tails & turn screws,
turnstiles of simplistic & hermetic rites

rioting, ravenous, & wretched wrecks of reckless, feckless polygamists
& misogynistic rulers & serfs, towering babel high & deep sea low,
smoking chimney, triple high stacks of jeffry like triton’s sceptre
& heretical amalgamation, dissociated of dislocated & antisocial
organic creations of ultraviolet toe pops & TMJ jaw snaps
to jabberwocky weddings

loquacious & mute back-snappers & over-biting patients slap hands
& bump elephantitis chests with homicidal stares,
thorazine induced state of euphoric nirvana
& tireless cityscape of zeus’ utopian mountain

alcoholic syringes & tourniquet tied bled dry activists for
unchained leper unions to side, divide, decide,
& equal to tip on down heroin convulsions & cocaine paroxysm, ticking the tumorous tocking clock to chime in time
for kalendis octobribus & release the hordes of treacherous build-a-beasts,
feasting on fabled creatures of burden-bore

superfluous sedatives settling caustic, rabid, pedantic,
prescribed pagan theologian obsequies, turbulent & tyrannical,
twisted & boggled trite& tryst planned lobotomized
jukebox gangsters, epileptic philanderers articulating applied beastial fidelity, as sanguine sisters engage blood brothers
in allegorical & ancient mystic coitus with a tantric
but onanistic conclusion & a highballed speed sniffed captive penalized, penile, pampering, decapitation
of the sade brain-born foresight

demolitionist facade & fetishistic desire sweltering in the tumultuous
& suave sun-day dry-dog heat, poor, beat, skin-grafted feet,
working the rocks & grabbing the cocks
of streetwise, smart & lemon-tart panhandlers, toe-tapping
manhole covers with neon orange teeth
of mistletoe christmas wreathes

ginger-snapping dragons with enigmatic goose-skin eyelids,
sagging sensuously, to white knight scraped black tar as ashcan
dream puppies melt, starry & fellated hydroponic dander
& chemical lye ashe scatter like bubonic rats & roaches
in scurvy, refrigerator light

hardened claws count cunnilingual digits rubbing with heathen brains
a flame on bourgeois hearths some dry tears cry over broken strings
& moth-eaten angel wings but no one
knows the answer to a keyhole asking questions to the deaf masters

libelous litigators kowtow to curmudgeon geriatric infidels
as erudite jagoffs inject molten mesazoic magma douches
up the anuses of carpathian whores
and orchidaceous cassondra pleaded with ostentatious beggars pre
the ides of march as chopped rolling heads blow chlamydia kisses
to the conquistador killers with the flesh of aztecs on their pricks

dead progeria kids put the diced pieces of osiris back together,
remembering the fall of humpty as reformed osiris rises
to wipe clean the disease fallen on babylon
as horace watches from the illuminati’s pyramid eye & sees his sphinx image
washed away by the stagnant 10,500 b.c. waters with orion
gazing down, the bard of immortality

to thou our god
i am what you made me & this is in my brain,
this is what
you bring to light after dark
