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:
