mysterious shadow

undergrowth

cascades of phenomena
rippling through

the optic nerve
and,
sensory organs
through the chemical sludge of
neurotransmissions
reverberating in the skull
of the animal

lo, fanged noumenon
the post modern prometheus
rises out of the grave
of barthes

on father rabelais – he has to say –
lecturing in authorial piety:
> 'c’etait la folie'

counter zion

the sons and daughters of pantagruel
stretch their grasping hands

is there not liberation
in the scorn of
the fortuitous?
the human condition?

another fart joke
searching for meaning
amid the piles of
bullshit

a pantheonic coterie
of characters
puncture reality
transmogrifying the inane
into the grotesque body
of a carnivalesque imitation of life

intellectualism came late to america

banality first encompassed art

then politics

herr sirk,
serving us hot takes
from the good ol’ days of 1955
‘til the end of time

love will keep us together
sounds transmitted by radio into the void
when you speak unto the void
it does not speak back

the endless mirror ends
in the troposphere
encasing the globe
within itself

tendrils of exploration
seek out the novel
hits of dopamine
triggered
like a probe
on a vast alien planet
scrounging for data
to add to repositories

stores
like a contemporary
grain surplus

the ancient patterns
continue on their trek

operators, given the sobriquet —
people —
dilly-dally
and carry out the functions
for the Almighty noosphere

like nodes
in a vast network
of fleshy bioprocessors

their arms and legs and torsos
bear the burden of the holistic verisimilitude
across creases in skin
and anxious tics

sniffles
cracking of knuckles
prescription bottles shaking
