the mind or something like it…

the mind is vast w/o edges perhaps perpendicular… there’s a chimney in its floor three maybe four doors none with knobs and a giant Monopoly board as its ceiling… poetry plays in the pipes… in the distance an aroma of serendipity lingers albeit abstract… paintings of people no one knows pollute the palace all of them with their eyes closed smiling with illnesses that have no name… once, there were thoughts being born here but no more… now, there’s only filth. silt and soot. at the foot of the bed lie the dead never to rise again. here, war rages without end… no beginning but birth. the girth of which is unfathomable. foreign tongues guns without gravity… sanity severed from sincerity. no room to pause. causation is a casualty of the cranium. random words cross the screen… screams capture chaos. and in the end there’s only death—
