torn out, magnolia tree

mental block rim front -
plush grey dust bunnies
at my eyelids
jump in unison
to block your
question before me -
plans fall fast
as yesterday spirals
out my ears
in iridescent webs
before the imprint
can settle behind my eyes -
what day it is
fades fast from memory
as thought lines,
venn diagrams,
drip down and out
to twist upon the matted tissue
in my lap -
webfoot ed
falsify ed memories
form streams of
needless excuses
on shredded kleenex

as walls break way
with the annihilation
of an age.

while you were in the bathroom...

spherical / metamorphosis
cocooning in ourselves
exponential / expansion
revolving out upon itself
iridescent / web
trapping us between -

you and me

and this tangent
on the American Dream.
