Lightning Forces Ran Amuck

Ambitiously teleporting signals

compelled by discoveries
she entered the realm of pictures
frosted speculation
ratings of empty mouths
talented composers with depth
sharing golden dashboards
peculiar indexes rinsed skin

lightning forces ran amuck
ambitiously teleporting signals
coming together without warmth
listening to labyrinths of whetted fear
dictated by group therapy
commercialized in weight

rising allowances
merging righteousness with ownership
fraying decisions about nothing
wigged by deliberate junk
sailing seamlessly

mountains of studded cells
contagious freezers hoarding soup
area-drops dominating
it was an uncomfortable pocket of time

sleep eventually came
morphine assisted the process
people sang
