chemical straightjacket

give me a mountain ‘cos I don’t want to live
with my feet on the ground anymore
give me an innovative, young writer/director
so I can replace all those memories I don’t want anymore
of a misdirected mind, chemical straitjacket worn thin by
preemptive winter weather or not he saw it coming
it’s anybody’s guess anybody’s guest
a surname denounceable betrays the weekend hope,
that both a freshly laundered craving
and a liberation postcard
can survive existentially betrothed in this
cobainesque caricature despairing slacker style;
after his seminary days’n’semi-legendary gaze
doesn’t anybody want to kill him anymore?
what’s in his misdirected mind is anybody’s guess

half a day

half a day away, tripping through
abducted streets again
half a day away, the taste of ___
on the tip of my tongue
half a day away, drop my pretences for all to see
the charms of the fall down guy
staring through some window to the world again
as I dimmed the lights, realised but for
slept on hair I might as well have not been there;
as I dimmed the lights and realised
I just had to satisfy my sense of autonomy
half a day away, seen from without
no cause for concern
half a day away, memorising new paths to be worn
half a day away, delicacies assault at every turn
the open arms of the fall down guy
staring through some window to the world again

Save the
regurgitated rice pudding that projectiles out of your mouth while listening and we’ll refund your body weight in ricen. Genghis Cardigan, semi-professionally easing lockdowns since 2004.
