The morning came out
shitty when you left
bubbles on the skylight
me
hammering at glass
ocean-bottom living
like an animal- 
cracker going 
limp in the java


Robot arms finger
broad cushioned hinterlands
furnished treetops


There we beheld unfathomed symmetry


As the porch lamp fizzled
shadows drew
lurid cherubim
above the concrete:


Souped-up hotrods perambulate
maniacally,
combing the darkness


Streets expire
to a dull
hypnotic paean
tincturing my calcareous electuary
with rueful declensions


Exuberance gathered obliquely
plated the chimera with hemlock


Rumpled words there
doggedly burrow
through the sententious
discoloured vellum;
marking their
clandestine flight.
