“lockra” published in Humble Pie vol. 14, May 2017. / • • • now with restored formatting. the publication fudged with the intent, made it all left aligned. I don’t really love this poem anymore anyways but regardless: voilà
marketplace menus of dry ice star-caked into the vertices of solitude. there’s a morphine market scheme waiting on the Benzedrine hyper beams and synergy.
my physiology makes up a hologram galaga.gif mess of melted neon signs. venues of clean slate linoleum square space that once read: ‘open’.
the presence of choose will empty out blue’s false echoes, objectified rainbows. storms writen in first person parenthood leaving so soon down the sewer drain.
we were building a beautiful place just to watch the weeds eat away at the algorithims. spinal upside, chain-link windows, cross the church of eschatology, hymnals.
the days feel good from the power lines, GMOs in the cashier’s thumbs, everything is going according to plan – auxiliary pioneers, grocery store outlets, supermarket spin cycled dreams of indoor themes, working days, cremated crops, beneficial industries, nostalgic burns.
we felt nothing left before we had the place remodeled. to assume memorial value of substance over texture, cinnamon stem cells, an open carry aptitude: these are all means to an end.
‘Morphine Market Scheme’ and one other poem by Jevohn Newsome are published in HAVERTHORN V1.2, now available to purchase at a mere £4.50
