Above Nevada, I Guess

Above Nevada, I Guess

by sam flot

Gaining velocity

In the untrained philosophies

Under contemplation or

Resurrected beliefs and deities

Will find benefit where they are

Without linking superstition to destiny or

Remuneration to ecstasy

and

The kinetic kids approach the process

With inherent but pathetic dignity and

Scheduled turns for changing lanes and games

Into gains and lame prophets

Who predict the past

As if looking behind or above a corner

Closed to wrong angles and

Clanging around a jangling sound

Generating a changelings authenticity

Which supplies no authority

To regulate the indications of sincerity or

The quality of the veracity

With which we travel around town

Circulating among concentric squares and

Blind spots approaching with trepidation

Regarding the surrounding sensations

As replacements regard their former selves’

Internally combusting and

Regenerating like waves

In the yellow, yellow sky
