MISSING, NEED REPLACED:

 

Pentagram in Braille, rough patch, the name of Joseph Mary hidden in the face of a Reptile King hissing triangle prisms into Lexington’s bright night sky while we drink on my roof top because (hiss hiss) if the world ends it will be while Mercury is still retrograding but can you pass the gatorade I’m still a sick little kid can’t drink stuff straight maybe the demons will rise from the gravel parking lot graves we dug today for fun / did you hear about the gorilla? fuck the Gorillaz No the gorilla that got shot. I hate the Gorillaz. El Mañana. Or did you mean “El Mañana.” / when tomorrow Gemini rises maybe I’ll fly to the sun like Geryon but Lexington’s only volcanoes are in middle school science fairs for participation ribbons and I remember mamaw patting me on the back even though I made my Uncle finish my middle school science fair project, The Effects of Magnetization On Iron Shavings. magnets like the ones on the poles of this planet that send the mole men up to the surface when Mercury is purple gatorade or spinning out of orbit towards The Blackness Of The Whale Of It All, Ya’ll / purple gatorade I let spill off the side of the roof towards the cars and graveyards and im cackling like a looney toon animal while you pull me back onto the flat part at the top of the slope telling me not to die because if I die you don’t want to go back to dating dudes named Josh with shits-for-brains and I don’t think a three letter difference means a lot / hey where did the retrograde go. on the cars. / my head cocked back on the roof towards the hospital and my hands groping for pentagrams on shingles while you sleep during this Very Important Astrological Event. upside down, the Chandler hospital room window where my great mamaw bled to death looks like it is floating above The Moon & Mercury.
