The Tomato-coloured Couch 9:25pm
I have done battle with God
all My Life
literally & figuratively
I have been caught
& unleashed
I have leashed, caught
& commanded
dismissed
& been dismissed
but Today
I am victorious
in Today’s Dismissal
I have regained
My True Self:
that which is
in God
& that in-which
God is
The Tomato-coloured Couch 2:45pm
I AM NOT AN ARTIST
WRITING IN FEROCITY
I AM SICK OF WAITING
ON THIS CUSP OF CHAOS
I AM ONE HUMAN BEING
CAUGHT
IN THE NET OF SELECTIVE
MIND WORKS
CONVEYED AS ART/POETRY
BUT THAT IS NOT
WHO I AM
I AM PUSHING OUT
THE MADE-UP PERSONAE
OF BLACK JESUS, SILVER CHRIST, THE ANTI-CHRIST
I AM DENYING GOD
HAVING A HOLD ON ME
I was just an innocent girl
when The Shower of Lights
befell Me
I thought They were from God
Well, I have news
BIG NEWS —
THEY WERE FROM MY MIND
MY MIND CREATED THEM —
I CREATED THE NOTION OF GOD
IN MY MIND
MY MIND IS GREATER THAN GOD
God is a pee wee
The Hawk Kitchen 12:24pm
I just spewed out An Arm
of The Milky Way
across My Marble-ized Kitchen Floor
when I stood at The Fridge
& violently shook The Parmesan Jar
in the only way I knew how
to break up A Ball of Cheese
not knowing The Flip Cap was loose
The Hawk Deck 8:51am
The Sea is liquid silver
in these early morning hours
I take solace in The Surf
to The North of where I sit
soaking in a last day of summer
with birds abuzz & cats
stirring on The Deck
