hark! chimes the falling oar!

haven’t been dreaming lately so i bought a case of energy bars now i have triathlete dinners with plastic knives wash it down with nitroglycerine in miniature cans iamarocket iamarocket and the burning fuel spewing out behind me like a phoenix tail is spreading fake rainclouds in the atmosphere like dirty lies it took me some time to learn to sleep as a rocket but rockets can sleep too it just passes through my system nervous like electricity under green water have you seen the sharks that keep swimming even when they sleep that’s me iamarocket i’m dreaming i am in the jungle and the ground is moving alive is dancing black snakes like rope like hair curled up conditioned writhing canopy so thick there are only potholes of sky like stars like in your bedroom when we tried to cover every inch of your ceiling but realized we’d never have enough to reverse the darkness around us thick like sunscreen on your nose’s bridge, they make spf one hundred in asia now but slowing the sun is exactly that never ever stopping just like me iamarocket running on water i am turning seas of fish into a single fish gasping like the women on gurneys they wheel through the hospital doors from the ambulances outside your apartment that sing down the streets like everyone is dying at once make us hold on to each other tighter put your fingers on my neck there are clocks inside all of us wound up
