Unmoving creatures

Is famous to bosom 

As poet is to illiterate 

Opposite and therefore unimportant? 

Tethered and territorial 

Unwavering appendages 

Unmoving creatures

Are we these bright dead things? 

You can find us among these bright dead things.

You can find me under the shade of a weeping willow contemplating the radical nature of life 

And floating through a checkerboard wormhole 

You can find me in surrealist wonderland 

Reading these melting clocks and floating apples

You can find me where the wild things are 

I am militant 

I am militantly insane 

I am responsible in preserving the insanity and not letting it slip into deadbeat normalcy 

Even when I can feel myself 

Inching closer

To that not so distant beige and fluorescent world 

Made in the USA 

Oh say can you see 

Me 

Surrendering myself to the wrath of the media 

The land of the 

Control 

Alt 

Delete 

The mind 

Copy paste 

Duplicate 

Patriotic clones

And the home of the free

From the burden of having a vibrant imagination 

God bless America

God bless poets

We are these unmoving creatures
