A Repeated Phrase

drops of inspiration
sweet, ethereal condensation
on the cool glass rim of eternity

taste the cliché

I'm a muse, a monk, a supernova
the holy trinity
a praying mantis mating
then staring into oblivion
between the jaws of his lover

creation is everything in all positions
a repeated phrase
the building blocks of Babel
blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah

and preservation, like fingerprints
we domesticate the dinosaur
making supper for machinery
trying to eliminate laugh lines
around our eyes

you can kiss me
if I taste like destruction
it's because I just swallowed
the whole world

let's make believe
a blindfolded nation playing Jenga
can still act surprised
when the tower collapses again
