zenneck stargazing
(or - little warning to the stars)

"dang, lookie up dere,

burnin' with rocks
like disun 'round em.

while disun's gettin used up like.

by golly, good thang
we got a gol dang space progrum
so's when disun's used up
we can go git anudder un
and mess wid it
like we did disun ."

"god help all dose stars
'n dem places like disun
s'long as we're breedin'
'cause we're a comin'.

hear 'at out dere?
we're a comin'."

"sure's purty tho."

 

when I wear her flesh

she arrives sweet stretched
sleek chromed arched frame

traction she grabs
chughisses total freight train

harvesting rainforests of her
I clearcut her skin for dear life

dripped on dripped in
storm turn all oblivion

god banging god
beyond our every sin

 

tea parties

boston bay
indian camoflage
colonist driven agenda
revenge and message to england

whooooooooosh - move a couple hundred years

down the line
look around at it all

undercurrents of conglomerates
wisespread pollution toxicity

nuclear waste in concrete
slowly steeps our ocean

planet lifetides
timebomb seas
