Fractal Planet


this flowering globe
the global footprint
goes east, goes west
gets all access
head like a hole
billion-eyed soul
subject of the gaze
such a strange daze
it’s just a phase
because she can
she flips her hair
a test-pattern stare
to shatter the ice
drinks paradise
blurs camcorder lens
drop by drop
perfume drops
into cherry lake’s
powerlean shakes
where summer floats
its grand slam snow cones
blip through the menu
mess with the gene pool
get a wake-up call
that urge-overkill
soundbite snaps its cage
a pitbull’s ‘roid rage
earlobe’s ball and chain
cross-train the brain
spoonfed lovin’ cups
ratchet it up
flick the mouse
for buyer’s remorse
a twenty-four pack
heavy-gauge trouble
to burst your bubble
split from your double


split from your double
to burst your bubble
heavy-gauge trouble
a twenty-four pack
for buyer’s remorse
flick the mouse
ratchet it up
spoonfed lovin’ cups
cross-train the brain
earlobe’s ball and chain
a pitbull’s ‘roid rage
soundbite snaps its cage
that urge overkill
a wake-up call
mess with the gene pool
blip through the menu
its grand slam snow cones
where summer floats
powerlean shakes
into cherry lake’s
perfume drops
drop by drop
blurs camcorder lens
drinks paradise
to shatter the ice
a test-pattern stare
she flips her hair
because she can
it’s just a phase
such a strange daze
subject of the gaze
billion-eyed soul
head like a hole
gets all access
goes east, goes west
the global footprint
this flowering globe
