It is televised, what isn't.
The making of. So then,
thought is important, justified,
pure in its relevance regarding
dissection of televised nonsense,
ideologies, perpetuated by monetary
opinions, neo-happenstance rated
by death, ratings, tone of voice positing
reactionary viewings. Allowed is allocated
shaping of prophesied emotions. This is home,
home of landscaped misinformation —
transformed into truth. Tragedy within
bifocal visions: distance, beauty consents to
fathoming illusional behavior,
while simultaneous magnified eyes
believe the entirety of medicated
psyches.

Scenes and Takes # 35, 1
What is the end? but day,
a signifier
positioned in darkened meadows
approaching a past of colorful
beginnings. In this
language
of meadows, dusk blurs
into darkness, knuckles in the distance
resemble hardened, asymmetrical
mountains. Drawing Roman Numerals
in chalked highlights,
squawking
while demonstrating XX II
blackbirds etch existence across
an unveiled indigo,
sky resembles the whisper of
bathing humming birds. The diffused,
the unclothed, the battered appears.
The end gathers its spectrum
rising in hands of inviolate
tomorrows.
