Michael McGuire Stranger Than A Stranger
Shave head prisoner, who you are the I in them, feeble knowledge and
architects pride, living the ridicule of rainbow whim, under glass
particular light, infinite test tube one night stand, look hard at never
always, bloody knuckle door key in hand.
Stranger than a stranger, familiar to the touch, more dangerous than
danger, you pretend to mean so much.
Trapped in moody dreaming skull, leaky faucet babbles in-articulation,
the crime confession; gravediggers mask, polite chit chat
excommunication, magician believes; world hat trick, it’s all sundown and
sea-breeze doubt, subtlety of understanding in ghostly molecules, when
the dream is in the dreamer’s out.
Stranger than a stranger, familiar to the touch, more dangerous than
danger, you pretend to mean so much.
The weight will pull you down to weightlessness, in the gravity zero plain
you will validate your mess, and you will feast upon the image as you and
them undress, and you will wonder that much and more can seem so little
and less, love; the apocalypse of definitions, the someone behind the
something somewhere, source of gravity un-think the thinker, inevitable
motion that always ends up there, infinite teller say what you mean, light
pass context of seer undone, mystical despair the hunters hallow hunt, all
of nothing many of one.
Stranger than a stranger, familiar to the touch, more dangerous than
danger, you pretend to mean so much.
