across the room this gray cancer spreads of its own inertia, symptoms converge as branches ensconcing themselves around the nether perimeter of the firmament, raining sterilizing ash upon the soil dividing us from absolution and the Absolute, concealed in sparks and traces and breeding resentment among the separated, and a bad thing begets another bad thing while Rajas gives way to Tamas my friend shaves my hair again and i lack detachment and i need to do laundry

alameda, what's your name?
i drove past your home the other day
how long have you known you were that way?
(never forget the inmost death)
giant panda, aren't you sick of all the unreality?
tossed back and forth between night and day

the clutches of the beast conjoin the clutches of the witch,
marry the branches of the west, infect the volksgeist of the east
the virgin weeps in sonorous grief 
elegiac, cosmic motif                                                                                                                                                                           
a coronach as a coronation, to honor this new repudiation                       
i've seen your face in cantankerous old men, and in young impudent lesbians                                                                                                      don't go get coffee with your old friend, his pierced goat nipples will reel you back in
swagged out in a 92 honda civic, your effulgence is truly prolific              a miscegenating dullard analyzing j cole's metaphysic
