forget the memories

the shot is impossible to film there is no rescue after all we lost some time the light is on

m

[megiddo]

let’s take a moment

do you have one do you want one baby don’t go it's always the same nothing will change I’d like that very much give me two one for the door one for the mail slot all the way through

m

[megiddo]

there is where

where I was I fell in with you there is where I fell in with you there and there I was

m

[megiddo]

then what will be left

no matter the poets poetry remains there in the middle like a crowd they took our pay for war there is no reason for war anymore but they’ve got to have the most wars is proving the point

goodbye clocks

I see it in their eyes we’re not even ghosts gone

m

[megiddo]

no dials on that clock

give us a bite bit at the end not even any more

m

[megiddo]

this is the world of things

I am in the field by the hill not far from the stream every breeze the grass tickles

m

[megiddo]

poem love

sometimes it’s the those one times I saw it happen feel me

m

[megiddo]

stay

sometimes it bewilders me walking away hearing my name it pauses in me every time it is all I’ve ever dreamt

m

[megiddo]

out there beyond I make it disappear

my eyes are full and I only make art on the moon on the earth in space between sometimes its the stories nested in stories this is the future and past roaring through the present

m

[megiddo]

I was done in by the future a long long time ago

age of a lifetime age of gold one more all seeing eye all things tiny sing and dance and sing

m

[megiddo]

a world no longer glimpses you

along a tree lined lane wander I wander into a tiny museum she was reading my books I will be ripped open and found lost in mannequins are you my stasi I like her looks a glimpse of a world that no longer exists they rearrange the letters of my alphabet destroy the moon destroy all monsters drop a rock on it drop the needle and the rhythm goes boom

overheard on bloor near clinton

we rode bikes like we wanted to die then they put bike lanes in and now bikes are as jammed as cars and I know in their hearts every bike rider hopes a car will park in the bike lane so they will call city hall and complain

grandma, Cornelia,

morning! morning! morning! slow cake fifty year word an end of the world kind of day we destroy this whole world love we were here carry around like life shines on

m

[megiddo]

like life shines on

try to break trash out of art my head on the ceiling my heart feeling I had a bed I had a bed

m

[megiddo]

carry around

a snake crossed my path today the beginning of silence we were out there walking in the dark the room folds into me six landscapes by the railroad tracks signed and dated

m

[megiddo]

we were here

we’re all running giddily happily simply making me dizzy that’s what the earth does at night in my dream at night spinning endlessly simply endless sleepy
