  • This Obtrusive Dimension

    An ice-cold sugar cookie sun glosses over the lonely bones

    Of a world derived from godly madness and space dust

    A sepia depression dawn shimmer of light

    The people of the world are shapeless and seemingly gone

    Lost within the confines of selfishly habitual minds

    The curvature of humanity has snapped like a summer-weathered animal spine

    The wasp workers clear snow from parking lots to make way for all the religious-like gatherings

    Where the people of the world fall to wounded knees and worship products and prices

    Reach up with quaking bones to fondle molded mannequins void of heart and blood

    Curdled music dangles from the fluorescent heavens like silver ribbons

    The Karen and Brad monsters snarl and curse the uniformed sad angels

    As they move robotically, tethered to the social mechanics of immoral survival

    Lost deep within the electric neon guts of blocky cathedrals nested upon historic rubble

    Uninspired architecture that devours the once green and golden landscapes of the world

    In long chaotic visages beneath purple and eggnog-colored skies

    Loneliness rattles along the alabaster boulevards like an abused and abandoned shopping cart

    Exploratory burglary everywhere in the burnt brickwork

    Vicious viaducts are concrete cradles for the unfortunate dreamers

    This obtrusive dimension merely a labyrinth for a lab man

    This planet does not suit the skin of everyone after all

    These cold, autonomous days; spirits exalted, spirits snuffed

    Like embers and emperors in Iceland upside down.
