Interstate 80,000ft

May 14, 2008 01:54

The wheels roll off
In syncopation

Coloring the bass spectrum
White with rubber noise
Remixing the road’s peripheral

Panavision lenses drop
Calls flying through the dark
Tunnel forging the white molten
Gut-lines porous with gold
Underneath the heart of iron
Mountains
          Fade to black

This invisible interstate
          Exists
Eighty thousand feet
A way from the infinite

Ambivalent angels undulate
In the evening’s neon lime-
           Light unaware

Their celestial bodies
Evoke a jugular response
Choking down the throats of
           Distracted drivers

Flaming swords rain
Spear castrations from a cross
The cosmos hung:

David Lynch and Goliath
Face off in the universe’s
Last great pissing contest

This automotive-o-mated
Transmission from the satellite
Weigh station way out here in
The whatever is left of my self
           Interest

Is brought to you
Steaming hot, complete with
Small bits of corn

By no one person in particular
           Ever again

Unless this sonic-boom driven
Vehicle for elevated ideas
Hits the stratospheric speedway

Brimming all golden
In the academic undertow
Threatening censure from Hyperion’s ivory

Overlooks of gesticulated underestimation
Collapsing down jagged, fiberglass
Cliffs into a fjord forever
Falling towards the inevitable
           Rock bottom

Presuppose is to Prophecy
As Predict is to Postulate
           The future

Powers exist beyond
Public understanding

The grins and lies
Are necessary as evil

Unlearn the stacked deck
Cancel the game
Exit the premises and
Return to your homes

Or not one of you
Special, ‘unique’
Go-getters out there
Is getting out of this blood diamond

Bank Heist with a live to spare
You
            Fly free of distraction
Another indeterminate atomization of
Tesla’s free energy machine

Genius is worth infinitely
More than an atomic death-ray

Those death-rays
Need plasma screen T.V.’s
Or they won’t sell enough

Units to buy you a Nobel prize
At least not the one your

Peacemaker enemy with the pacemaker
Bomb hidden in his chest will receive
In next week’s Zurich newspaper

The academy blown away
By the brilliant ovation
Standing Pompei statue caskets

Not sure whether I’m at
            The last supper
Or the final Judgement

But at least I’m enjoying
            The wine
