cough up

for godsbother, dream journal

 

the universe began with a fur ball

it was an otherwise choke

 

nobody knows whose cat

but surely a kind of explosion

the ball the fur being more

than there were creatures then

 

it took no time at all

to begin

 

because there was nothing

it must have licked elsewhere

therefore we can say before

 

some others say dog

and the licking of balls

because possible of course

 

or more like a pawn shop

former universe in hock

 

it must have been some kind of accident

 

a bomb fell from the clear blue

war to end another

 

you wouldn’t believe the creatures there were then

all of them doomed to

 

reconstruct what was before

 

it must have been some kind of a wager

in the beginning

 

deity, demiurge

malevolent ectoplast™

 

people have tried to imagine nothing

but they’re people after all

 

there has to have been a world on which

and a star went round

 

in flew

a glass slide

someone plugged in to blast

 

just how far back can the naked eye see?

 

they measured things so strangely then

cubits and and catties and shells

 

we measure in time

just an obol for each eye

 

the universe was buffering

logged out logged in again

 

there was a village at the back of the head

 

it’s the first thing you can remember

you wake up and then it all goes
