the surprise of my lifetime
frantically beats.

I'm in some sort of blisteringly fever
I'm in trouble
dare you say
that all the monkeys on your brain
have fallen so softly
onto the pads of your skull
little beds of containment and holiness
strung out together like stars locking fingers
because i'm not free
lonely taxidermy in my spare time

silky alligators
don't eat all the men
some have been forgiven
some have let it go already


let philosophy explode
rather than buildings because buildings
will fall arbitrarily when
does the end of it all seem
just a blue eye blink away?
