 At the stroke of blackberry,

along electronic highway –

   for a moment in this mouth.

A sign in neon,

   of killer app,

  a signal that all three were relieved about.

      A tendency to destruct

           in all this driving about,

               dumb but with receiver on.

To my blackberry, I always report back.

of colours and squiggles

   the mighty dollar

      blows deadly like

El Nuno:

      riding in patrol

a paper beast with secret signal,

      a smell draws the dogs on.

and now, pup,

paying ourselves for what goes up and up

to eclipse the eclipse,

to let it rip.

and everything moving –

   saddle and booted,

      you rough-riding vigilante.

I’m told out west

   you can be completely innocent.

what is this peak you speak of?

of what nobody is sure and dare not speak of.

sail then, sail across the sea and marry me

   just as a mountain,

      an enormous arm wrestle.

so we bless god for this, our genesis,

                      in splendour silent.

                 where there is more to print

                                    literally;

we print more in green ink;

      gladly, gladly

            we pioneer

   with heads of heads, of news

      where blinded and broke –

            busted,

                  with bills to pay with more bills

            along a stony path of thrills

      littered with i owe you’s.

a printing machine

   literally;

            with which to cover our naked pulse,

to recall each leaf,

      its beauty helped us cross ourselves,

            saint something

                  unknown, completely naked –



                      green it was.

paying ourselves for what goes up and up

   to eclipse the eclipse,

      to let it rip.

and everything moving –

   saddled and booted,

      you rough-riding, green-backed individual

      out along highways

I’m told out here

   the verdict is always innocent.

      so what is this peak,

            revolver ?

sure, speak, stranger.

   the good doctor,

the doctor dollar would say

      would say to me,

run away and marry me,

      loaded and smoked.



   and bless god by and for genesis,

      as what we owe

            is a summary of information.

                  

               with this thing, it’s all or nothing

                     no half and half will do

                              i guess i owe, i owe to you

                   a snafu or something;

                  a pup to stroke like it was all newed.
