emancipation

bureaucratic emotionality expressed in words
less cathartic than lip biting
more harmful than carbon monoxide
suffering side effects of the neocortex
become detached and fall into the comfort of chaos
the cocoon of the imagination
the womb of the original
the 3rd planet from the sun

los angeles constellations

stars hide under smog of light
only the most powerful appear
forming unfamiliar patterns...
shallow images set in smoke...
deriving new stories out of old
