surcease
             

            The cornice is the scream,
            trees are maniacal in it.
            Ladies live there. Even exits
            exist for the entrepreneurs.
            Lap of luxury, zeros later
            latex smiles and the wherewithal
            to perish like a pimp --
            delightful Nagasaki.
            Or stuck my finger in the
            whole empire, interesting
            serial subtexts later.
            Weekends.  Gone are all
            your days, leer back at
            you like quicksand, fried
            apples.  Let Poland be
            poland -- everywhere there is
            fun, fact of absence
            or an encore immediacy.
            Here on a train, akin
            to the moment after
            liberalism, every child
            merges with an image.
