As/Is

Buying Masks

Three masked sapiens
on the sidewalk in queens
pieces of the puzzle parade
working the scene
it will end with a fake orgasm
Life shuffles of beyond reproach
to mutate for its own sake
I catch it in the subway
humbled with the masses
We ride the same breath
from jamaica station to norwood escape
We hide in demon space
hundreds of invisible masks
parched covenants with skeletal closets
I drag my reluctant shadow
out of the station
into the bodega fix
Life rumbles on
I catch the mundane murmur
behind their masquerade

Really excellent ideas - anonymity, repetition, etc.

Kind of "Post human" as I read on someone's poem on AsIs :-)

if you can do more then you can do less

whose baltic seeming
breathcoat wings its
walleye to the heft
of deep when teacher
sterizes beak
er after beak

try speaking with your
helmet on try on for
seismic hacking zone
the lorca here divinely
planted in this
small cuaderno

if I hear you then
my volume is alone
my worth the wait
gold imminent
stochasm

chafe what you will
the lean sides
of the craft hover
where cracks survive
and we the photographic
crew are standing by
to notify
viewers like you
