Let alone vision
smell corrupted memory
got hooked up to some machine somewhere and put all the thetans in me
trust the best bass riffs you ever heard
tight rhythms that shoot to noise as a function of everything really
distance and time
porosity and brittleness
regret and longing
infinite attachment
myopic perspectives
what minerals in the river clean you off
what seeds stand out to you as heirlooms
what was passed down with the expectation of return
i miss something that never was from a time and place that doesn't exist anymore
spitting in the boiling water for Mac and cheese with my babysitter Heather
lying about it
watching son in law starring Pauley shore
in a room with caged birds who are still alive maybe
i can cavort with them and reminisce
not Heather tho
last I heard she was arrested in Maine
and like belmar arcade and the McDonald's on 14th ave
the abandoned hotel on our block
the first time in the back places, where they get rid of steam and trash
hide and seek bases and the old industrial decay of the north Jersey coast line
Cordicidin and southern comfort
don't look back in anger
my first girl friend was named sally
don't look back in anger I heard you say
