oh grapes -

the feeling of crushing something

so sweet

[bloatiecoyote]

folie à deux

[bloatiecoyote]

off the cuff /

my person

the lapping saliva

off a tongue

tap dancing

[bloatiecoyote]

the realists are shortsighted

if the world were truly

apart from the mind

our imaginings of it

could only be considered

as an exquisite poem

but it's not only.

there is something stubborn

in this universe

the world as i see it is the poem

the human hive mind

creates the brains which perceives themselves

[bloatiecoyote]

uma cena esquisita

una cena exquisita

[bloatiecoyote]

mastication massacre

upon my plate

upon my country

upon my humanity

[bloatiecoyote]

i am an onion

cut in half

left to dry out on the cutting board

[bloatiecoyote]

passed stones,

passed stoned

[bloatiecoyote]

eat the biggest frog first!

-para Mark Twain

[bloatiecoyote]

hold you country accountable ✊🏽

[bloatiecoyote]

in situ shadow dancing --

empty apparitions

waltzing on the forest floor

draped in purple

and an abalone laced

interface

[bloatiecoyote]

that over there

cut it all down.

it's obstructing my view

[bloatiecoyote]

trees walk on their roots

from empty soils

yet i sit, under this willow, preoccupied

my roots growing toward my canopy

perhaps when they meet i will roll whimsically

as a dry tumbleweed

they do this, im told, to spread seeds

[bloatiecoyote]

an empty lot of shadows and souls eating ice cream on park benches

[bloatiecoyote]

for a while, as paint dried, I saw embers fly between cool sighs and butterflies

we dawn this canvas a rainbow established

[bloatiecoyote]

own your ego

the barrier is there --

tune it to the proper sieve

[bloatiecoyote]

my mind

beside

the miming chiming proletariat

shouting soliloquies under their breath

under their breast,

bereft

with nothing left -

BUT an idea
