magic

cut to the chase and skip the poetry
break it down to the urgency

the sky is a milkshake
it shakes dry seeds
maraca boy in seizure
seizure explodes

heavenly biscuits arrive in time
love is close behind
everything they say about the blinding white light
is right
(it blows your goddamn mind)

stolen cookies in the stolen rain
forgotten pumpkin cake destroyed by fruity waves
giant octopus rises up
fifty percent transparency, lonesome as a train

and now, the legendary deleted verse:

vaseline dollmaker, evaporated flakes
creme de lasagna on chipped plates
cordless handgrenade in a zebra print case
mothball robot marching in place

you see why it was deleted

by the way
sorry but
you are now addicted to poetry
