#286 - there IS a conspiracy

 





5.x.20

286

there is a conspiracy

 

you bold it, up the font

 

wink nudge for boys

they will be

as with mother’s milk

(which powder will conspire against)

 

it’s fungible – your fear

 

take nudge wink men

will say

grow with the disease

(what does not kill me…)

 

say we love…

make great

fill in the blank

 

here, have yourself a forever

(delicious)

 

unflinch

cock this

and in the nightsight

fake a moon to land

(there are many)

fill your veins with pulse

aliens size up

 

there is a conspiracy of songbirds

 

a murder of judges

and so-called war

(I don’t believe and you can’t make me)

 

this is the Land of … repeat after me

have you noticed the market?

 

conspiracy of the willing numb

bring on industry

shake

pour on and over

sprinkle with these

it kills ‘em all real fast

 

every other conspired against

creature, I mean, of course

 

there’s hunger

and whoever died of that?

I wrestle Descartes’ demon down

 

they want things back

a share

same rights

 

but know not the promised skin?

this God is mine

bend knees

 

in the tiny hamlet of Overfeeding

here is privilege denied

(as in the whiteness of a theft)

and

so say all is ours

and

so say all is ours

 

there is a conspiracy of flags, of anthems

there is a trafficking of maps

all words look foreign to me

 

it’s always a certain suburb you hear crackling

something severe – the overnight blaze

a knife down a drain grate

 

breeze washes clean

 

from out of the bowl

a crocodile snap

 

the good old boys drinking

 

sometimes see the overlapping worlds

mostly nothing to say

 

Earth’s round in every direction  

though some will say a little pear shaped

and no one’s looked under to check

 

I was just explaining my language 

so utterly betrayed

 

ending it

they call

cough up

 

who will dare say otherwise now?


probably you won’t have noticed

sudden ache of loss come on

      just when

glory shines around
