Pulsar


curly sea green eyes lap the face
melted fish-bone eyelash tresses
coral pink elfin ears embrace
mural tousled hair the loomed air electric..


the hamster wheel dots float below
mercury blobs zoom zig-zag flow
everyone dreams a snooze-and-go
papier-mache fist-fight-legs dapple snow..


rivendell rapunzel boots of daffodil
shopping channels flicker concreted life dismay
cardboard pizzas chew saturdays
washing machine sundays thrum dentist drills..


the coffee tastes hackneyed the ice cubes melt all tender
dew on a blade of grass like butter
do archetypes ever get stuck in lifts
are we ridden on an archon spaceship..


i have seen more ufos than i can count on one hand
yet never come into contact with a genuine non-stick frying pan
entry-point noodles taser such technology
non-stick noodles must be raised a priority..


powder blue clouds a firmament of cotton glass
a memory a cash cow a second a distant past
the tenderest smile a lighthouse a pulsar flash
the ocean waves lifted on your open hand..
