passenger, belated

in a jetplane heading east

i descended into denver

waking up with snow and peaks

everywhere my eyes could reach

back between the bag check and

the guards who must harrass me

i was grinning

all the while waiting

for the sky to come down raining

pigeons crows and clouds of brackish amnesty

castastrophes tip-toeing gingerly

right across the real horizon

we seem to keep mistaking

for a thin imagination passed out

lifeless centuries before us

spreading far and still infecting

still adapting still infesting

breeds instinctly intuition

of complete abstract perfection

an idol implementing that our wings

are clipped and feeble

stumbling to stand on two feet

it sickens me to watch it

and so i turn and keep on walking

inhaling breaths of tasteless talking

Author's Notes/Comments: 

this is a rant about westward expansion. fuck you, britian.
