Pam's Choice
By Jasmine Dine
Resistant to assistance
he chose not to learn bird
his blurred brain shaved viscose
in gradual deformation-
the sort that preferred,
cotton white bells
hanging humbled as heads
suffocated in splatters,
widespread oxygenated chimes
alight with red toxic blossom
flatter us with disorderly dead nihilistic rhymes-
nothing matters, but the awesome
nectar temptation and then radio station signs
synchronized the beats of your wings
with mine, love
humming in spite of us
-cawing freedom like foxgloves
four hundred and fifty beats a time, or around that, sort of
singing in spite of entertaining world vectors
ravenous rage monosyllabic electors
a semi-erratic sensation
intrinsic meaning forsaken
well you must be mistaken,
a mentalist anaphylactic- beating hard against
average aristocratic; sees to trample establishment
from Piscean utero
well, like, mosquito Cicero
versus government, invents indecision
in an assault on us in defense of damn dissociation
who sits vexed and resigns him in a blend of alienation
the community an allergic reaction for inhabitants
to vent on the sick symptomatic societal values
where an ambrosiac vocation adjacent in ineffable nirvana
is erotica to sonorous supernova;
bright, irate and savage like Titus Adronicus
acquaints us right to the carriage of; (yes, they're superfluous)
Allah, Buddha, Aphrodite, and Jehovah-
recovers his confession from righteous passover- says;
i love you, i love you
it's over, it's over
