we swim in a sea of dark matter

reality is an illusion, but it's a very perisitent illusion
said einstein, a quotable moment in a life of quotes
did the man understand the extent of his time travelling
anymore than sheakespeare?

  jack told us long ago,
you will never know
 if what you write will outlive you.
proceed as if it won't.  i try
to remember good advice
even when it seems wrong like the way
steve told me, after hearing my mid life crisis poetry
you should go home and take up gardening.
it's more rewarding and how lo these many years later
i have taken it up and he died on a mountain road
when he lost control of his harley, another biker
pursuing perfect curves. i have sunflowers
which far from perfect or even united state's citizens
attract not only swallowtail and monarch but
the elusive spangled frittilary. and i circle above cat poems
teasing a jump and swipe
  use three of five verboten cliches
denounce acts of seriousness  seriously
ensuring a quiet night, going, gone.

demise, demoselle, demonstrate, o wayward
sons of the raped, the bricks and mortar of history's
sandcastles, delight, denounce, debate, detract o ripe
daughter mayflies of the mississippi. a grain of rice,
a bolt of cloth a dollar in the bank and you whine,
shine the light, you whine, muddy water, howling wolf
rolling stone, seventy years into last century.`you whine.
happy sad, bittersweet, neonostalgaic horns, strings, chorales
swollen tower  of midges shining in a shard of sun, whining
wheels roll through.

thought for a short:
blogger sends coded messages
through automatic writing, unawares.
music encodes. no matter which pandora
station plays, some of the same songs
come up. these are the hypnosis pieces.

why? the blogger never finds out.
the messages are used in other dimensions.


fuck it's been done. with the descolada virus
and before that, philip k dick. i'm sure those stories
are all over the place. it's a paranoid marketplace
and we loves our conspiracies, even those
taking place in different cosmos.

so like this dark matter thing?
freakier than black holes.
maybe it comes from them,
 leaking dark  stars into the equation
that light swims around
