Dis-ingenious Under[stand]ing

By Lotophagi

I keep wanting to yell

say it Moscow

and I don’t know why.

So now I must question my own expression

do I look like I’m a member
of a species that is endangered
or becoming extinct?

But back to the issue of hand,
let’s gather here today
the belongings of an ante-corpse club

which suggest

the imminent disavowal
of an immanent eminence
clouds minds with a
dust bowl of supernova spite
luminously lighting lies
in its explosion of emitted energy

someone has to doubt

why is it that our major predator
is the same as our
most ‘desired’ prey?

but what does this matter
art is becoming so restrained
contemporary cultural theory
is the only path to success
in this globalising Eurocentric action,
a commercialised corporation
of excessive neo-negotiation
towards a movement in anti-legislation
under a sub-modern post-investigation

yes, we lack substance, depth and originality,
conforming to demands of a starved civilisation,
blinded by the commands of a vocational infatuation

dank dawn
dark door
damp dusk
damn drip
dart dirt


dank wand
dark odor

you got to run with the crew
and join the military circus

    i love the way the words sound. all throughout this piece rolls from the tounge. excellent composition.

  • A former member wrote: hopelessness grows as the shadows spread. weakness consumes the unsure of heart and destroys them. from the darkness rides a pale horse.

  • A former member wrote: A very good read. Thank you

  • A former member wrote: mirthlessly riotous. now... let us take to the streets with some good old fashioned mob violence and we can solve this straight away. i adore this.

  • A former member wrote: Moscow! it say! or something... interesting... to say the least.
