remember kids
What is the sea, and what are its waves ? It flows, bile in my mouth - all hands on deck !
My mind’s in high tide and my tired heart caves
Inside my salt-spiked bones, my old ribbed shipwreck. Is it true that the world will be doomed when it boils ? My blood bubbles and roars and gushes through gorges
As sea serpents gorge themselves, my soul tight in their coils
The water hisses and fusses like a sword maker forges
And cools the red iron in the dark doubtful depths. My own surface, blurred, clouds and sparkles and spits. My face, my stomach churns, which tilts my ship and steps
My eyes, sleek sea glass cry again, and my tattered tooth grits
The chapped sun-dried shore of my pouty, shut lips. In my hollow clammy chest I feel things clank and crash
And my threatening thoughts are such perilous trips
They’re unmapped ; I get out with a bang and get out with a splash. Though now my tumbled brain’s encrusted in a pearl
As I’ve held it close and I’ve soothed it harshly. The sailors - my neurons - mind the ballots they hurl
So my mind washes up jewel-like fish, lively
And metallic. Then the wind of my cries’ settling
I tame my high horse and Kelpies stop the race Like my pulse. Sweetened, the sirens sing
And lulled, my psyche, the blade, dulls, turns to grace. I can rest, still sailing, though sea-sick
And tell the storm’s tale to my old friend the moon
Who crowns my velvet skies with the starlight’s pinprick
And whispers through my masts “Goodbye and sea you soon”

ah yes, the two types of monster drinkers :
I know what I offer my body as its fuel is its very poison. To have but a shard of my organism's potential at the tips of my fingers, so close I could reach it, I am willing to let a thousand dying suns pour themselves in my veins.

『可哀相に』(2022)
Witnessing the use of AI illustrations in my class literature presentations has had, besides plunging me ever deeper into despair, the fascinating effect of having me taking in increasingly Timothée Chalamesque versions of Dorian Gray
