Dotted lights
Mirrored on the parked silver car.
I rolled a cigarette and poked my lungs to force meditation.
The trip from mouth to south
And the back and forth that came about
Reminisced
Of a suspension bridge
And temptation
To plunge into obscurity
But also
The mad obsession
To keep the translation
as accurate,
To keep the diplomacy deftly
And definitely.

The ice, like a window, had been shattered
And there was doubt;
People walked in and out
To get food and gas
And there it was
A little blast from the past
Of twin lips
Stuck
Intertwined
But too scared to pass.

By the third heartbreak
He had already become an architect
And his preference was cement,
Layers of it
But my refusal to succumb to such monuments
Imposed by this order
(Disorder I’d say)
And their infinite shade,
My decision to instead wander in sun
Fearless of burn
Or follow the moon
Despite the trepidations
And the furor she may cause
When posing nude in her entirety,
Taught me
That no walls, however impeccable their finish, their polish
No portals, no rooftops
No bases, however eloquent their basis,
Could resist a leak
Of the endless sweaty sky
Of the scattered, sweating stars
That from birth, and eons before
Started it all after all.

Red riding, winding in a toy neogothic castle
The wand hit goooood
I saw real life rat nest witches
Drenched in black back to back
A sweet glitter fairy and
A clan of hot tan prince charmings
And the social-climbing louse
With the ugly blouse and silver slippers
Pushing me to make room for a selfie
Hashtag fashion
Snapchat flashing
The DJ was the tropical sun god
Shipibus-Phoebus
Surrounded by headless ebony torsos with perky titties
Plastic Amazon ivies
And voodoo hands reaching out
From the carved wood chimney;
Hansel bone fingers
Poked the pink polka dot lights.
The pink chickenpox lights*.
And outside:
Ghost stands of anticuchos,
Skewers of grilled cow hearts
A chewy traditional treat.

People as fences in a row
It’s no blow
Just as chains are used to lock
They can very well unlock
Just as big walls erect to protect
They also connect
Don’t sink.

The links of the chain
HTML, http: (https: to protect)
The he, the she in the teepee
Refugee
Call me insane, but China
China’s wandering wall,
A wonder they claim
Of the world
Of the word
Of the official word dot doc
but I don’t see a wall to keep out no more
I see a wall to stroll in and out and in-between

And thus, just like fine china
FRAGILE they stamped him
Fragile the weak link who thinks a fence will stop him,
Lock him.
Foolish to think that you of same matter as your neighbor in front
Ain’t as strong
You are wrong
People as fences will only keep you out if you stay in that doubt.

Click click the link, click dot com
Doth come
The time when you grow tall
As a tower
And all that power, oh that power!
You will not just feel, but know
That people as fences ain’t a blow
People as fences are way below.

I rolled in the same sheets
Of ocean deserts and love-making bids
And hoped maybe this time
I won’t soak flowers in chlorine
