This is stunning poem:

Today, upturned, I look for the lie,
the strawberry syrup disguising the base
that drips from the tongue of the mockingbird mime
to a crystal decanter of sky. <- its like drinking the sky

Where truffle pigs root through a midden of pearls
all stamped with a date of expiry
inspiring stampedes as the dogma decrees
with a sniff from its perch in the sun. <- this just really flows and I like how it all expands and ties so many things together

And nobody looks in their pockets,
and nobody stands on the ground; instead
they despair, with their feet in the air
and I bleed, but their glasses are empty. <-this says paragraphs all in just 4 short lines, brilliant
...(s)he has trouble acting normal when she's nervous

Poetry in motion, played out in the mind of madness
