The Mezunian

Die Positivität ist das Opium des Volkes, aber der Spott ist das Opium der Verrückten

Only in the Night (SOMBRAS DULCES SE APODERA DE MI MENTE)

Accompanying music Only in the night do I feel full, where the darkness cuts the light stark clear. Sparked awake by th’sugar treats: jangling, cooing, thumping melodies. * * * Accompanying music But then the moon must always fall, revealing all the messiness. Warped from the ghost with th’world on strings to choke on millions […]

Surrealism & Super Mario Bros.

Neither dost “thou.” ¿& all those tardy sunset conflagrations? are nothing but your wild imagination. No, no, no… I’ll tell you what it’s all ’bout, I'll tell you what it's all […]

I Tried to Take a Photo o’ the Cloudy Crescent-Moon Sky

A purple too minty to snatch, so always it’s fading to black; & all your strong crescent-shaped curves are melted to coffee-desk burns. & the firs disperse… I tried every setting, but none would work: neither higher exposure, nor color enhancements. ¿So what resource will for once offer closure? “Photo-taking poser…” & look, I did […]
