NEW WAVE OF UNDERGROUND | Ghost City Press

 

I read through Kierkegaard's enormities—
I curiously roused the transcending ways—
I waged tempered opposition against civilities binding physical form.

And in these steepening epiphanies intersectional, 
I am willfully in occupancy—accompanied by these
cognitive ornaments applauded
in these scenes of people I step out of barriers for, 
like an antioxidant and Abaddon breathed in simultaneously.

A system of bleeding words—
A system of self-sustaining sedations—
A system of absurdities roosed & digging graves for the complaints—
A system of hysteria playing back and profiting artistically
while standing under unfinished basement LED rope lighting—
A system of surgically analyzing the Malaysian verse
and attempting the heart into a fixed rhythm.

It must be drumming through the chest with the sensation of

needles & presence, 
needles & presence, 
needles & presence.
