I DON’T BELIEVE IN OUTER SPACE
Going to holograph you the reality of the situation
before deleting the manager. Feeling positively Swiss about it
in every direction. I want your bullet points
inside of me yesterday. Don’t pop out now
you’ve yet to elaborate yourself
Going to holograph my dick onto your palm like a moon so
you’ll have it when you need it. But your other hand will go through
it. Like when you try to hold the moon
you’re going to have to use your imagination
Going to holograph my autonomy onto this undersexed dinner table
I’m shadowed by fathermotherbrotheruncle it’s like I’m haunted,
I just want to be
Vicuña or something reinventing a lake
between your legs
I DON’T BELIEVE IN OUTER SPACE
That’s my kid. with the given name Howard
and two left hands: one that goes inside, one out of me
He takes the stand
part-wise for shits; but I’m wiser
I know a litigation when it’s begun or begiven
It’s true I’ve done badly, in things of patience
but on those pedestals of jealousy known only to papas
I’ll go up and shake his hand
I DON’T BELIEVE IN OUTER SPACE
You always got a name to give. Give up the name and the moment splits
and you split in that distant opulent lavender
mountain
that copulates with the opulence within you
The opulent property within
you shouts and tugs at the double-you for a word to wave at its exits
with the exercised arms of a flight attendant
You might recognize this periphery
the opulent lavender mountain inside you circulating
wide, running the room into a lavender
tube;
You might like to lick it
the nation of double-wide-yous
