Down Time

I think I want to sink into the oblivion for a while
Taste the turn off of nothing-thought
The wanting has got me nauseous, lingering, spit-it-out
Cringing at the idea of contemplation  

Crawl back into a drive-through lane
Feed me the oils of vertigo
Far away, far bizarre from tonight-today
Hell-fuck bullets flying gorge a bite to say 

Eat the empty, the night is a noose
The waste-away is scavenging the neighborhoods for flotsam
Alcohol-candy and lung-sparklers, light up the darkness
To bring in the hounds to devour the sacrament  

Unction in the nothing
Placate the desire to be a face, a body, limbs and excuses
Chronic byproduct of planning events into the recompense
Of want turn the valve closed and drown in the brunt  

Of the deluge as the levee bursts and the caskets slide down the street
Like surfboard stockbrokers collecting industry fear-mongers
I want to drift into the surrender of the rolled-over road-kill
Opossums and armadillo pestilence, greetings from absence  

Soil nocturnal speed-lump for trying to be noticed and sunk
Into the blood crypt with the bodies of Armageddon-paycheck vigilantes
Doing something noble like telling an adolescent about the frivolousness
Before he becomes infected with the wanting  

Sympathy in the symphony of melancholy gentlemen of barber chairs
Cut off the fashion and leave the hirsute cavemen naked as bankers
Parade them in their liar’s cloaks denying who they are
How far away from fire burning the world while money sleeps like a window-thief 

Pickpocket foxes and the vomit has gotten my bone marrow death cream
Bloody with the try and I say no more
Let me off the coaster and into the canyon for a taste of the craggy cactus
Eat the spikes and pebbles, manic for the nothingness
