Imagination: Video
Imagination: Text
I am down a rabbit holeMost definitely I am
I want that PINK cowboy suit
Them duds like fine to me
Look
I thought about this one word
On what was a blank page
Screen
Wall
scream
Am I this
All of this
All of this one word
Silence
The cursor blinking
To show me where I am lost next
Here
Here
Here
Carved beach sand
BURR ON ETCHED METAL PLATE
I hold a salty branch
Watching what happens next
SWIM IN AN ACID BATH
I REMEMBER CASPER
PRINTING lithographs of brick walls
I am out of time now
I am not your mistress
Roses for a head pigeons on my stocking arms
I imagine a pipe
You see the pipe when I say I imagine a pipe
I imagine a tobacco pipe
You see a pipe
I imagine a pipe for smoking tobacco
I imagine
I burn my fingers lighting the pipe
Do you imagine my brief pain?
See the blank page
See the one word on the page
Both are in my imagination
Like the robot who stole your job
Fucking ATM
I knew one day
We would buy a device that does not move
But we still move
We watch what moves
See the movement on the device
The world fits into your pocket
The device moves with us
Everything is moving
Glendale, California
A corporation made a word
For what people will do
Anyway
Illustrators
Engineers
Architects
Lighting designers
Writers
Painters
Graphic designers
They work officially for an umbrella company
Imagination is work
designing
building everything
theme parks
resorts
attractions
cruise ships
An and
of oars
Wide range of salaries
Potential for ideas
This is not a poem
It is words in random order
Radon gas cancer
