“Dream is the personalized myth, myth the depersonalized dream: both myth and dream are symbolic in the same general way of the dynamics of the psyche.”
– Joseph Campbell
This is how the world ends:
quantum overlap bleeding
black holes & liquid lights –
comets & supernovas sing
isotopic interference fringe:
“Carcass of cosmic gestalt!”
This is how the world ends:
in apocalyptic night clubs –
bluebottled March hares pulling
fast ones on the mercenaries:
“Yellow wax & blackened veins!” –
“Colonel is a mottled corpse!”
This is how the world ends:
space-time maggots homing in
on planets Soul & Carrion –
flesh-eating orchids
spit spider venom:
“Milk the arachnids of kindness!”
This is how the worlds end:
riding the subway:
a line w/out stops –
& going round in circles
& circles circle circles –
“Subway never stop! Never stop”
