Schizophrenic crosstown traffic
walls littered with
well dressed insects
religious figures and
chinaman
LSD
forest
ocean
hell.
birds forever grounded
atop two-dimensional
recycled trees.
carcinogenic incense
visibility low.
A coin jar
A tear jar
An empty jar
An empty man
combine the first
two
with the
third
so the fourth
can better understand
itself.
saxophone ghost
glockenspiel preacher
percussion vanguard
spiritual impotence
a dying king
a motherless prince
a penniless peasant
an ownerless dog
and me.
