Either Or
The realization that existence is a memory
in the neural clusters of a forgotten world
is a peculiar insight about a loop in time
that tirelessly continues looping,
beginnings hooked up to ends and vice versa;
a Georgie On The Freeways story,
if ever there was one
Each morning sleeps in its night,
every night is dazzled by the morning light
Death moves out onto its revolving platform
like San Francisco's cable cars from Ghirardelli Square
at Market Street's turnaround,
and jingles away
When you leave, you arrive;
stepping inside, you're already out
but these phrases are only a certain amount of ink
laid out in a certain pattern, that carries – within you;
nowhere else – a certain meaning,
that changes in pace with you
- and nothing is either or
My grave is the surface tension of morning;
the beating 'tween chords of pure intonation
on a Bösendorfer Imperial;
zenith's steady gaze
Every part of me is turned on and off
by the cosmic flow,
faster than anything can die or live;
thus creating the illusion of being
In the shadows, silence is whining
in the loop of the moment;
beginning and end chatting on the airwaves
like the voices of Incommunicado for Alexei Navalny
