everything is on automatic

no soul to spring a body erect
no blood blushing trouble
coming any minute now

and if you have soul
they’ll soon suck you
dry of  your daydreams.

The first dream I had tonight

falling asleep
so long

your hands can’t reach
groping darkness for miles

a dream where
a snake leaves teeth marks
miniature bumps
immediately blooming
with black holes for roots

so shocked by permeating fever
I was falling backwards
into a brown scorpion puddle
I heard my self yelp when stung.

everything is on automatic

no soul to spring a body erect
no blood blushing trouble
coming any minute now

and if you have soul
they’ll soon suck you
dry of  your daydreams.
