part 4

all is pixelated

when looking long

dots within dots

colours infinite of song

~~~~~~~

peripherals dancing

corner terrain cavorts

blinked eyes

remoisturise

save freefall

pointilist sports

~~~~~~~

assume the veil

of mechanical alarm clocks

breakfast cell fire

neuronal kicks

coffee knocks

~~~~~~~

uniforms

suits

shirt dresses

shiny shoes

hairspray

lipstick

moisturiser

24 hour news

~~~~~~~

wits about girl

in ready brek trance

wears three quarter white socks

ready to dance

~~~~~~~

counting means for ends

wages, cars and holidays

9 to 5

one size fits all

reward and favour tokens

from palace to town hall

~~~~~~~

interruptions full of life

wheels are finally off

my school is named

for holy ghost

virginal bind weeds white

her cups and stamens are apertures

where we finally see the light

~~~~~~~

saint francis waits

assembly halls

hands filled with birds

feet grazed by deer

from clocks he looks away

towards hills golden near

~~~~~~~

school me

‘til i know myself

burn division sums

read books

all crystalline consciousness

libraries guarded nuns

~~~~~~~

liberate paint brush easels

throw away arithmetic shower

swerve additions

dodge multiplications

bypass root powers

~~~~~~~

for i am constellations

wrapped insignia and rules

wallpapers

sofas

paint card samples

keep all doors

from wolves

~~~~~~~

we watch porridge

with canned laughter

prefer crookeds over screws

we pay taxes

vote to register

turn away from yesterday’s news

~~~~~~~

for it is chip wrap

what the neighbours say

looking to the future

forever and a day

yet philosophy keeps me

awake at night

adds colours vivid

to black and white

~~~~~~~

so when van gogh’s sunflowers

grow then die

near suburban garden lawns

their seeds are corner eye terrain

their petals pixels worn
