chela-chela

chela-chela 9 layers are compressed
90 layers floating
chela-chela we go abegging in this sieve
and pine-weed-glisten-moon-water-emptiness

save the x
when we like heroes went down into the wasp hole
to find a sack of poison honey
to find an amoebic yeti hovering
with its glistening fluorescent fungi antennae blinking
with its mechanical mandala navel computing a prayer
with its yantra storage constellation of cubical liquid memories

chela-chela don't you love me?
protong vineland alphabet weasle mouse nematoad
when the nostril of earth is a parasol a paragnostic over all
9 layers are compressed
maybe 30 more
90 layers floating
untethered like eyeball astronauts from skullcity delta
your capillaries are san/s/crit lullasuccubyes

chela-chela
the pipe is whispering, the moon is an old sebsi
with a radio attached
chela-chela
siva is wearing a dirty loincloth & looks like a turquoise coolie
and sits sucking rice on a crumbling ghat where motion is slipping
and pine-weed-glisten-moon-water-emptiness

save the y
when we like maroons put up our sails and made sunshine and coffee beans
lanterns away
fires sudden as cannon
nothing working its colors out
to find a silver pencil
to find a candelabra theory of languages
to light our mixed up table
to find our brer rabbit is a mayan scribe floating
away on a purple cloud
surrounded with cranes, pentagrams, and banshees of quipu

chela-chela
how lovely this husk of locust
which our grumbling ancestors are deforming
this weird lotus which is always droning
9000 layers are compressed
90 trillion are floating

chela-chela
its z-ping...
