Voted #1 Two Thousand Years in a Row

Spiritual check engine light on
Brings you to the House of Cross Purposes
Sessioning the whole 
In God we bank and trust
Mouth agape like a sand trap
Like watching clothes tumbling dry.

As the Latin(o/a/x) accountant and associate pastor
With the Latin(o/a/x) twang 
A tonsure of razor wire and
An ice hockey goalie’s shore fishing in a tree pose 
Totally fanboys your chubby savior/babe
“stylishly provocative” “hella tragic”.

The jumbotron comes to life
Christ resurrects in full miracle glow
The spiritual ass kicking machine
In the dope white gear
Wild with humility
And wants to start first with

Qualified buyers with deep human urges
He says go to it meek, all yours 
The least of them await you 
And let’s hear it for the parable of the low flow toilet 
Although please don’t tell my Dad
It’s still a mystery to me!

The Ides of Merch

In a world zapped happy
By subgenres of highly complex systems 
There’s something extremely
Like whiteflies on a hibiscus leaf about
Fresh drops
Late scratches 
A pileup of funny cars at the motor speedway
Precisely like airstrikes
A collapse of ancient temples.

In a network of networks 
Space is limited
Defensible space
What I know I don’t know 
Suffuses the universe 
A debris field
Bottomless, toasted and
What I don’t know I know
Is now streaming.

A crazy copse of pinball bumpers
Concusses me pneumatically
Wasps at long snapper school
Rattle my head
Octopus up in arms
Jitterbugs my teeth
A rooster barks
Steel plates ahead 
Beware the ides of merch.

Eurydice

Circa the day
She’s in the alpha gamer’s saddle
Based off planet and out of galaxy (OP/OOG)
Point a to point b to point no point
She’s big data, magic beans 
Dressed as all the super cute pronouns 
She’s the view from the top of the food chain
On her psychic scooter
Begetter of the bespoke
Howler monkey of the almond tree
Bringing authentic passions for fitness and fashion to life
The electricity is in her name
I love how she toggles 
The raw in the steak tartare
Between differential mattering
And notions of diffraction
With regard to pivotal life experiences
The starker the idiom 
The sweeter the motor skills 
Markay oh cho.

Guidance

Ministrokes of good fortune
Moments everyone is talking about
Arranged in a salon-like hang
Proscenium, thrust, or in the round
Fate is the raspberry horseman
On a carousel of pale steeds
But crazy stuff falls through the cracks
You know what I’m saying.

I launched into my third brew
Roasted goats become tacos
Over simmering mesquite
My extendable pharyngeal jaw
Opened like a time lapsed blossoming
Of the gaping maw of an entrance to a 
Drive through car wash
Brushes flapping like slaphappy dervishes.

And I’m like
Safely out of range
Spray cast upon slurry seal 
Surfaces may be slippery 
I would be remiss
Reduce your risk
Unlock the magic
Download the app.

Starkitecture

When it comes to who you want to blaze with
I told you dude, I’m deep dish
Establishing care in the flight path of privilege
I’m a sporty driving experience
Manet, Monet, and Renoir 
Pre-rolled into one
Sustainability in action
Micro-agential and techno-affective
A hydrating, volumizing flaneur in a fool’s paradise 
A literary puissance
Hand crafted, grass fed
Cisco Kid of light speed logistics
Sound baths and breathwork 
Crisco Kid on mini mart mushrooms
Teeth spaced like a rake
At my local break I go hard
I've never had a warmer, better fitting wetsuit.

Cold Moon Coming, The Amazing Kreskin Dead, part 2

While Earth spins on its other axis 
A three-to-five-year bid, rotisserie style
Amid the schtick of honor and decency
Agendas and scopes
A trope-a-dope of
Tales from the crypto
Abstract besidedness
Situated in the context of
Quantitative assemblages and qualitative continua
Up quarks and down quarks 
Datasets in performance shorts 
The proverbial confetti of rupture, rapture
Pet cemeteries and auto spas 
Concurring creeds
Handstands and drum circles
Long-term demand drivers
Showing cause
You’re like basically 
What’s the flavor of the month?
What’s the zeitgeist?
Does Thebes ring a bell?
But Autoplay stays stuck on taciturn.
