Syncopated Summer — Christopher Barnes

singing like curtains in the wind
bind, bound, found, released       rescued
oh JAZZ!  dropped-
off-
a-
cliff-
blues
lightened by carcinogenic neon cocktails
and 1          9          3          0eeeeeeeeees
pastel chiffoned apes
bounced, bounced,                  flounced
bounced,
so real…..surreal drugland clubs
where they jazz up the Airplane
with a rocket
with a rocket the acid band
is about to land
PAINT EVERYTHING!
THE WHITE SHIRTS SHOULD BE BLACK
the kissables (and the missables)
need blue teeth
the ugly need                                 flower-facing
the beauties need                        spots…
it’s a grind, it’s a grind
it’s a giraffe
