Caffeinated Railroad Tracks

Shamans lay lateral girders—ties, tar, sand, stick 

mark time pass as tracks clack, clack, an errant ping! Clack, clack, clack 

Sledgehammer. 

Threaded, iron throat threatened His distinguished plains

Waves of fruited plans

Gravity’s greed decrees real zeal for myutterandcompletefuckingjuicespigshitspillage measured in Grams: 

2.

Crunching under a blood-dusting crush

Employees, bleeding knees on the street

Juicy crab-shelled scabs 

Flat discus of beefjerky brown  

Take a sewing needle

Lift it like a manhole

Peel back, the leakage.

Dizzy lights seize me. Seize me. Seize me. Seize.

Till The Drop went boom, “See! Saw! See! Saw! See! Saw!” was all you heard.
