Written by Blake Kay
In style, they swim
toward message
their medium
the coat
the fury trappings
anger!… spew!… ugly!
smell the confrontational stink
They become
black leather
poetry
in expected voice
they become
the identity is the matter
they become
the matter is the medium (again)
they become
the medium is the message
we become
as advertised
So see them now
And?
How does it shine?
enough to be seen dirty edged?
the core is hard? the filthy sheen?
condemn!… wallow!… condemn!
Stop.
Now
turn on heel
Now
my coin, my gospel
hungry for the algebra of it all
the formulas and the rhythm
snap!… snap!… snap!
attitude be damned
bring me the sickness
infect me
the virus
that is the language
So
ply me with those spectral words
syncopated ontology
constipated hauntology
The Howling Man say
“Do the worm… on Acropolis”
“Slam dance… Cosmopolis”
So
I come to you
bleed your pages
junkie sages
I drink you in, Beat by Beat
belly full (gas)
mind fed (hypnotic)
slick movement
shifts to heavy foot
My poetry walks!
stumble!… stumble!… stumble!
… … …
Stop.
