Open Up and Say Ahhh
analogs disengage, evacuate
flutter away to the unseen
glitchy, imagined code joints
within the web of existence
okay, I will say it
although it has been
said enough
they fly away
come to nest
within the matrix
spiders don’t fly
they don’t need to
that cocoon
another has spun
it’s your final dissolution
no papillon metamorphosis
planned-out and neatly-packaged
she was dressed in silk
when they laid her to rest
how nice, how elegant
rich and utterly delicious
spiritual egotism
or rampant materialism
venom or decay
hemlock or scurvy
nightshade or rickets
yes, I want, I want …
no, how dare you take so much
keep your red pills
and blue ones too
I’m on a no placebo diet
they give me nightmares
and day terrors, flatulence
itches and chills
things gotten a little dark ...
then I will end on a positive note
open up and say ahhh
