Trip Over Me

My dragon is elasticity of a swift flying tail gliding a gentle fanged grin as jungles transfigure into rainbow berry vines grappling loops of twists circling my orbital sitting position; there is a man floating upon a platform smiling for the dead, I love him nonetheless. Neighbors in the building inform us of philosophical threads building a horizon of bluish green sunlight outside our lobby wall window; Pookah is a fairy dear to me as wishes for a milk genie.

"Mighty do you recall those things you spoke of...."

"This moment I can recall situations for the resolution of now; please ask whatever may cross your minds. I sincerely desire you to remember this for your journey I fear you to travel; no matter what may come to be I want you all to know I am with you, even if you suffer I will too."

"They are people...."

"Yes they are very similar...."

"Do they contain the same properties as man?"

"Yes...."

"Okay then...."

"Except!"

"Except what....."

"Most will be dispersed waste material from chemical formulas carried by your DNA."

"Shit!"

"Yes but I agree there will be a few that are special....."

"What do you mean by special?"

"They will be just like you and me."

"We want to meet them."

"I hope they get away....."

"What do you mean?"

"They are made to contribute tasks for your distress."

"Then they will be distressed."

"No doubt.....no doubt....."

"In order for us to heal, we will need to heal with them.....correct?"

"Precisely twins....."

"How do we find them?"

Buttery wings circle dragonflies in ambiance throughout the room; our window is a cool midsummer enlightening. Mighty is awe of nature; tears flood his fingers into waterfalls.

"I never knew what you meant until now."

"Hunh?"

Pookah's nose, ear tips, shoulders, and toes position for landing as shades of earthen wombs commence in spirituality; she is delightful of silent om prayers on the streets of Israel.

"I didn't know....."

"Didn't know what?"

You Know Who steps inside plain clothed in white reciting The Dhammapada quicker than speech; his lips are not moving at all.

"There is no reason other than this....."

"Other than what?"

"This!!"

Diesel is demonstrating sight and sound techniques with various concave metallic objects for wave transmission. We follow a magnetic spark bouncing off every source of visual inspiration inside our unified mental dwelling. A crystal ball forms in the center of outer space filling with electric veins pulsating as we talk.

"Guys I think we know what is going to happen if we can remember what the fuck we just did!"

"Damn my brothers and sisters......we will be recycled karma if we can make it across......"

"Yes we need to cross the river of loss....."

"That must be why all this happened huh guys?"

"Mouse I will be mad at you later but for right now I am going to shut the fuck up."

"Yeah we might as well enjoy this while we are still whatever we are....."

Quasi is a speed demon uglier than hell; I flip a concrete rail and land on my knees. Blood is a strange object laying on pavement as I dream of the sun eating me with a napkin over it's chest. I came to bring a message but the excitement injured my self esteem.

"I can't believe you just did that!"

"Believe it....."

"How did you know I was here?"

"I found out from the cook at the shelter."

"What do you think?"

"Did you have to get a place on the side of a freeway?"

"It's shut down; you the only one crazy enough to cross all that construction on a damn bike!"

"I had to do it."

"You came to check up on me....."

"Yeah I did....."

"What else.....?"

"Somebody said there was a lady at your apartment."

"She left....."

"I wanted to see her."

"So you busted your ass?"

"Yeah..."

"Damn you would do anything to see her huh?"

"Yeah..."

"Even lose your legs?"

"Is it that bad?"

"You got to get stitches."

"What's that?"

"When the doctor sews you up sort of like a doll that gets torn....."

"I'm a torn doll?"

"You got a lot of scars....."

"Yeah I know; they're all on the outside. I named them."

"What if they were on the inside?"

"Only special people would see them."

"What makes them special?"

"They were never born and they will never die."

"How did that happen?"

"Same why I did."

"Some of them might be cross though; you better watch out!"

"Do I really got to go to the hospital?"

"Let's see it...."

"Where did it go?"

"I don't know; you're one gifted motherfucker that's for sure. You got some nasty scars though."

"What if they take it away from me?"

"What?"

"Whatever it is that makes me heal."

"You wouldn't scar....."

"Really....?"

"I don't think they can take that away from you even if they tried; maybe slow it down, doesn't bother me, that's just how you are."

"Should I give it away?"

"It'll mess with your head."

"That's what they are going to do to us."

"That's what that girl said."

"Who....?"

"The one that just left. The one you busted your legs!"

"I would do it again."

"Why?"

"To smell her cologne."

Zoomy ramped a rooftop to another across a brick street in Mad Town; the drop makes me sick looking down. I vomit into a dumpster below. People do not understand why he is doing this but I do.

"I don't know what's going to happen to us but if I fall down there just make sure to use Peanut Butter for a marker."

"I'm going to jump this shit too man."

Pookah is screaming from a fire escape I trapped her inside to get away. Mouse is yelling logical arguments inside a laundry room behind an industrial machine we moved to keep him from stopping what we got to do. You Know is strapping a pair of roller blades while Diesel slicks the gears on a motorcycle. We are all in this together; that is how it will be regardless.

"I'm tired of being single."

"I don't think we ever were single."

"I never felt either; I just wanted one...."

"Yeah I know what you're saying; let's do this shit."

Somebody is watching; I hope they videotaped our leap. We made it over but might of been a dream. Each of us stare at a stack of spaced concrete blocks crumbling from the grind of machines; each of us contemplate the women of our dreams.

"Well she said the same thing was going to happen to her like you're telling me."

"What else did she say?"

"She doesn't know how much longer she got until they take her away; she don't like the feeling and thinks about giving up just to get it over with."

"That's what we were thinking."

"Somebody's after her....."

"Can you show me where they are at?"

"You going to beat the shit out of them?"

"Should I?"

"For sure.....I'm going there myself before you do."

"What if they do something to you?"

"You worried?"

"Well if they do then we are all fucked."

"I know."

"What did she say their name was?"

"Something about fish eggs."

"Yeah....."

"She said that's how it started."

Mighty is polishing a motorized scooter he rides for pizza hustling; I painted wings on his helmet hanging off the left side of his head.

"It's so shiny I can see myself!"

"What do you see?"

"Your friend."

"That's what I see too."

"Your'e going to be mad at me one of these....."

"One of what?"

"Whatever these could be I'm not sure. It's the same sun and moon; must be the same thing."

"Yeah....."

"I just saw something in the gloss....."

"What was that?"

"Looked like one of those snow dogs."

You Know is ice skating super velocity on an abandoned creek outside the cemetery.

Hey Girl Die Die soldered those dull sushi knives from the cafe onto a set of paratrooper boots I picked up at the thrift store. Moo Moo said there is a bed of water by her house frozen solid. I found a shortcut around the construction; I am going to be there. Check me if you need me or if you find out anything.

"Those are some bad cutters....."

"Fuck yeah....."

"I found out other people got the same problem we do."

"Yeah I thought so....."

"She's thinking about giving herself up just to get over."

"That's what Abel said to do."

"Who's Abel?"

"Somebody Pookah found out about; he stays at Cocoa B."

"How does he know about that?"

"She left him a note on some wishing tree....."

"Wishing tree?"

"That's where people leave him notes to answer. He writes replies back in the same spot."

"?"

"She said they call him a prophet....."

"?"

"I bet he looks like a bible picture."

"A guy with a beard and a toga?"

"Yeah you know what I'm saying."

"I wonder who wrote that thing....."

"Probably you!"

"Why do you say that?"

"All this crazy shit got something to do with you and Zoom!"

"How do you figure?"

"Shit is crazy; reminds me of something you guys would do."

"I don't remember......"

"Yeah well you should."

"What else did she say about Abel?"

"He knows some lady from Penn State starting a business."

"What kind of business?"

"Something having to do with dollars....."

"Greenbacks....."

"That's what they call it there."

"What about her?"

"Said it was important; she wanted you to know about it."

"I wonder what she's like."

"He said she did some time....."

"What do you mean?"

"Never mind, anyways I'm not ready to give up yet, I got some things I need to do before we forget everything and a bunch of people walk around looking like us."

"Yeah.....we should leave hints......"

"M&M said he made a music video."

"What was it about?"

"He couldn't remember but he said it made somebody jealous."

"Oh....."

"We got to do shit like that."

"Yeah....."

"We already did."

"How did you remember that?"

"I don't know."

"Well remember some more so we can do it again."

"What if that doesn't help us?"

"Then we might be fucked."

"We're fucked anyways...."
