11:58 p.m. the sound and the meaning 2002-04-11
Reaped i have too much crap to do for skool.

and so i slack...

here's a crappy poem i wrote about driving back from DC after the IMF protests a couple years back:

rolling down highway I95

sleep is death, the more to suffer while alive

the tempo cuts the bruised hollow darkness

a quicksilver dagger slittting the neck of this potholed-pockmarked-asphalt-artery

above a pregnant moon wallows in quiet solitude

and i brood...

jealous of the truckers resting in their immobile semis,

orange reflector lights glowing like bulbous mutant fireflies between the pines

even the revolution sleeps through this witching hour

lane markers become white electric eels: writhing/fucking/taunting

they twist and turn and multiply

deceiving cranky sleep-sore eyes

and in the opiate drone of the roads rumbling lullaby i hear the seductive siren�s cry-

in the grizzly ends of my slumbering affiliations,

i find homicidal consolation

so... I S*W*E*R*V*E

feeling satisfaction in the acidic tinge of andrenline (sin?)

sometimes a good fright is more effective than vivrin

and for a brief heavenly moment i�m awake once again

but even savannah is forever away, and the road is nothing but a black racer snake

caught in the highbeams a dog munches road cake

drinking down brown liquid murk

expanding bladder counts the minutes

divide the distance into miles per hour

singing along to the woeful dead Greats

�i�m livin� on water, reds and cocaine�

truck stop crack makes me go insane

...like i said, crappy
