lucid hallucinations

idealized planes sink ships
faster than dreams remove seat belts
i melt
when words perform
and form blends into sending trends
to the back end
of the isle
i try
to find fire in freezers
to break diamonds with tweezers
i try to seize the dairy to put under a cherry
cold, frozen
in time and chosen to rewind back to the
age of riddles
when in the middle of my story
we said sorry and put sunoco back into the soil,
it was a natural foil to forfeit expectations
that molded holes on oil fields
we all know the outcome:
seconds after the second ending
a foreign man foretold that
barcelona's oldest temple is entering
its final stage of assembly
marble palm trees and waterfalls
in the halls of antonio gaudi's home
will join emblems and attempt to replace
the present with paper mache
i say
catch
and shoot
and then drive by away
play with fireworks on your way
like you dreamt about back in the day
i say
try to outlast a battery
for a day
use caution and avoid sinking faster
in idealized dreams that seat a theater
of removed belts
i melt
when fenders get unbent
when zidane gets unsent
and france still loses on PKs.
