The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for January 2000
Christmas Influenza
incontrovertible proof
that reality and
hard data are
connected by some
logic structure
fevered dreams
driven by illusory
web browsers
crawling
those connections
spiders gone
haywire
till true codeine
kicks in and
[though how the exact
relationship between the
mind show - the spatial
image engine and who
we are, is unclear]
the poem results
2.
every muscle fiber
in my chest
electric
[cris-crossed
with slow-motion
pulsing each
cough in three-d]
releasing
protein markers
into
my blood
and pain
unbuffered
no where to flow
first
expanded
by the analgesic
then vaporized
in sleep
