HALF WAY BETWEEN

Jackson & Julian,
half way between.
Drop'd rain splits
cop car lights
like the atom,
Blue & Red
prism purple &
pink thru falling
water.

Let the rain
fall through them:

colors
homes
words
the touches
of lovers,

split them all
like my split
city. Torn between
a promised present
& schizophrenic future,
just one bite
of Marinetti's apple.
Time & space
died yesterday here,
​San Jose

OPERATION WANDERING SOUL

Now they make their music:
Operation Wandering Soul

The howl of ghosts through
empty streets & new construction,
Aswang fado sung to the business-
men micro-dosing lysergic,
creative search terms typed.
The weather today is in 
the low 400,000s.
Cheap words, affordable luxury,
& angry birds,
come hear the music we make.
Come hear the noise of ground
broken & displaced
Come hear 
The daughters of Mara howl
through the portal to
Guiyu:
