khlebnikov’s funeral will not televised

poem

do you own your own life
or the life of an imposter created just for you
there is little help coming for the original
but my god
there’s help coming from all directions for the imposter

and it will cost you and cost you dearly
and you will be willing to pay

so come on down and join the homogenous mob


poem

sphinx words
like mona lisa
never smile

and you you
are no cheshire cat

it’s all a mystery to me

don’t be late for the matinee


poem

it means so much that you love me
how much will that be today

that much
i thought it would be so much more

oh oh today’s the blue light specialLiter
