Puddles at the End and Beginning - 20151231

Staring at the rain puddle type of day, New Year’s Eve
Slack jawed gape-hole of what was this that drove through here
The brilliant tongue daring the capital T truth of the matter
As David Wallace might offer, the manifesto of the everlasting gobstopper

To trammel net tacticians herding schools of consensus and nonsense
Comingling and making out long enough to stimulate arousal
In the augmentation of expectation and polarity jostling
Like a burlesque dancer’s tangled legs and an accountant's

Testing the boundaries of art and logic, science and dreams
To pose hypotheses and laughter that what feels good and is good
Might converge, words in the family-sized serving platter
Passed around the table might suffice for now, in the moment

The dangling bewilderment and distraction of discussing the parade
Of intermittent consistent depression or addiction or masturbation patterns
Or the need to be at work on time or not that tad bit level of antiauthoritarianism   
Creaming over the warm pile of mons pubis and phallic head

That grand bit behind the scenes of why anyone is interested in hearing
What anyone else has to say or pushed that millimeter towards novelty
Over that line of monotony carbon-copied serving tray utensils
Hand to mouth motions wrote and pelted with the boom-boom of midnight firecrackers

Sending star-streams like purple dragon spit willow trees bleeding out the night sky
Star wars enlivened and chatting enthralled and emboldened to be a human being
In a moment with another human being rather than sequestered in that god awful pit
Of depression or ache-gravy pasted in that lack of will to even want to be around anyone

The tone-deafness to the celebrations where alcohol becomes priority the brouhaha
Touchscreen of being somewhere to numb the sensation away in besotted drink-binge
The paradoxical headroom of New Year’s Eve recollecting as much and as little
Of the solar revolution that was for the one approaching on some secular arbitrary photo-op pit-stop

That instead of taking the damn pocket-phone snap-selfie the self came to be
Using four hands and two mouths to say I love you peering all eyes into a puddle floating there between
Gleaming and brilliant striking the tone-gong of the universe
