my violence does have its limits
i strike the keys that strike me

however the shade is not wasted on us
as the quotient of your visions
within the undone process of freighting the weight
you've been entrusted

Strangers of the trance mystic hot box to god

some verbed engine
prayer of apology
standing on the threshold between here and where
those who have studied the floor know
our pain is not so far removed from reason
reasons from reasoning
ad nauseam infinitum sancti...
on certain hearts and end is symmetric
but not
mine

not our song


"The Civic Religion of Habitual Tobacco Smoking (for Joanna Palmer)" by Thaddeus Conti
