Steam Flows Uphill Past the Stream

A tremendous crash. My head snaps up from the pillow. It's morning because the light is bluely snaking around the tapestry on the window. After the sound of the crash slowly dies in my head the sound of small girls giggling begins to fill it. I throw the sheets aside with gusto and pop out of bed with a dream-enhanced, breakfast-eating grin on my face. My wife is standing there with her arms crossed, staring at me pleasantly.

How do your mornings go these days? Everyone's mornings are slightly different, right? Even from day to day, my mornings differ. If I can master the wake-up, I feel I can master the day.

Weird thoughts today: I thought that a toilet seat that I had sprinkled a little pee on was following me from bathroom to bathroom down I-5- that spot of sprinkled pee was in the same place- but I shook the thought off; while driving I imagined what it would be like to drive over a dead body, mangles and meat in the road, a human body.

I can only writhe across my life, spitting curdled milk, screaming with clotted blood shooting from my throat, I am unhappy. It becomes apparent when the candy-clotted haze lifts and everyone's spite shows through. I have no faith in humans. I have nothing but instant mistrust, hatred, recoilingness, disgust, aversion. Even those I purport to love can, in a moment, become an enemy. No human is beyond the reach of putrescence and shit. It must be said: I am the only one who matters in this horrid game, my pleasure the only measure. Sure solipsism rears its ugly head, but to whom is it ugly, fucker? In a world with no mirrors, the solipsist is always right.


I want to crush every little fucking thing between my stone hands. I will then smile benignly at the wasted crumpled bones that writhe there under the weight of exiting marrow. I will smile and vomit my love in to my palms and rub the broken nothings back into existence where they will sit and be completely silent forever, happy in an existence which consists solely of watching my charmed life and the beauty and purity that shoots in and out of my every pore and orifice.

bent obscenely up inside an adverb bent gay
bent meatlessly into the tub of bones bent bonelessly into the
whitened crag of burns
bent hunched, parts in the cheeselike rock pores, riddled
with parched caves and char, other parts

there in the milky way hitting the cliff I saw a mewling

yes
but there was a snake of steel
there was blood

I kissed her then
and we danced off the cliff

wow, I had everything all formatted, the poem especially needed it, and blogspot just demolished my formatting.

the fact that you are brought back to reality with a formatting error is an interesting end to the esoteric piece. Enjoyed it despite the formatting problem, very much.
