EMPIRE
By Richard Wehrenberg Jr. - Mar 20, 2017
Stop signs have proven
to cause incorrigible and abstract frustrations
enduring for hours & transferred
unconsciously to others
Energy continues long after it
The stars are dead their light still traveling
To consider what yet has been seen
The so many resplendent expressing
I say No one can be the same
millennial I’ve been alive
for a very long time we all have
stadiums and chanting beg
to differ hurl themselves
on their knees before me
asking if I would please
reconsider [my] sentiment [sic]
I could genuflect to an undefined all for the rest of my
This is what my head feels
Salmon fucking in PVC pipes in land locked
Mummification of an ecosystem
Flooding of humans out of houses
Take this salt bath
mystic stress circuit
Can you imagine draining a lake
of your heart’s labor?
Ancient quietude of confusion of being
in a holy & irreducible but often simplified
corroboration of matter forging
forward ever so tender & sweet
Forgiveness

At the time of writing
there are 100ish
commercially available apple brands
introduced to the market
within the past 100 years
Wax/wane air brush time away
I read each of the several hundred names
of the people who helped develop
an intricate coding pattern
for a design oriented computer program
as it is loading opening up
and I feel close to them
I feel their hands
wet with time
I take them in my own
and pray for a new intimation
that feels less sordid
& separate
