Artistic Impression II

Part I

My glass dice and a game of chess
the cloaked curtain sweeps my knight
the grounded worm and its pet bird
snakes are windy, drakes are minty
a taste of myself
the scent of my art
and stories are interesting
and songs are entertaining
and poetry is boring
and poetry is boring

A stuffed puppy breaks the cup
termites chew on metal
the fans are spinning knives
cooling me, maiming me
heating me, maiming me
a video game controller
stuffed into my eye sockets
and all of them are silent
they used to laugh at me
and now they can't speak

A wooden television
a globe of the moon
spinning
destination is here!
I build a foam rocket
I fly to the destination
took me twenty lifetimes
but I did it
I accomplished what they want me to

Brain transplants
or body transplants?
Heart transplants
or body transplants?
Living the lives of others
or body transplants?
People will never understand
or body transplants?

An undressed chicken
or a naked dog?
The undressed chicken
befriends the naked dog
Sorry, adults only
aren't we all kids?
Sorry, adults only
but please listen to me

A flying book
shot to the ground
a flying bird
it has wings, so it's free
free to roam the world
free to shit on heads
free to roam the world
and fly to the moon
free to roam the world
and get body transplants
free to roam the world
sorry, adults only

And the reader is now bored
and the reader is now silent.
