Roaming Rascals

Electric eye plugs in
radio towers transmitting
satellites recite from sheepskin
a retching crowd starts vomiting
invisible veins recycling aspects
thin air sculptures the prospects.

Rumour has it,
my cousin's boyfriend's brother
was told it has a ring to it
by a neighbour's friend's mother
but the narrative does not fit
newsflash has gone undercover.

Reputedly, an event is due
uncle's colleague's best friend has read
happens to be right on cue
slithering letters of a hissing copperhead
spread on paper crawling out of tunnels
at night, hosted on talk-show panels.

Rumours travelling faster than light
words spread like wildfire
letters sewn together in foresight
cinders cultivate a haphazard brier
in slips of the tongues stabs smite
channels pinned on a thorny wire.

Take the headlines in your stride
sprinkled with some grain of salt
granules will preserve your hide
questioning trust is losing by default
believe in the magnificence of sand castles
forget the twitch in your eyes and muscles.

Bloodshot eyes rolling in the sockets
universes swirling inside the pockets
waterproof messages in bottles
receivers dive wearing their goggles
cork's pop philosophising on mute
choker with detritus a space, facts to confute.

Teasers put to hard work as barkers
catchpenny mottos summon the crowd
dowdy intelligence is being shout out loud
alert betas looking askance at the wormhole
repetitive usherettes guide to the seats
attractive cajolery into the head beats. 

Scowling stares slowly hypnotized by malaise
termagant inner critic becoming drowsy
brains beaten joyfully into a smooth mayonaise
pupils dilate on command and irises turn mousey
slipping further away into a fictitious daydream
the scariest film ever to make you silently scream.

Meditation in the sanctum sanctorum
pains followed by fractured gains
imparted to the audience secrets of decorum
alphas bombarded by paper planes
rainbow smoke trails in the shape of paper clips
dissected butterflies feeding voracious thrips.

Letters were alphabetically in order
alphas are strewn in total disorder
nurses keep in place the programming
concentration stricken with barrage jamming
communication belaboured ineffectual
imagination and learning run conventual.

Agitprop overrides the betas with panache 
fissure in trust opened by lamda libels
bulbous osteal cups of pungent squash
down the storm drain poisoning the vitals
clench the teeth until the finish line
where you become the circle's cosine.

One hundred and seventy six steps
point six hundred and twenty five volts
means of lying epsilon corrective specs
opened holes repaired with bolts
beffudled state of intuition
undue former social scene in remission.

Rapid eye movement inside the dreamy state
condition feels like fabricated phi fate
somewhere adrift between the space of two
pushing and pulling of alphas and deltas
theta is making its fraternity debut
materialising with virtuosity psionic shelters.

A voice barely audible and heckled
nys and rhos use soundbites
testimonies are thoroughly speckled
deceptions and illusions are the highlights
irrepressible, decisive and homogenising
zetas orchestrate concerts compromising.

The gates have opened up to nightmares
roaming rascals the status quo henchmen
royal guard inching closer, their Yeomen
riding the airwaves on metallic mares
apocalyptic flood of heterogeneous news
confliction crashes unceasingly upon the citizens.

Deltas are fast asleep counting sheep
a slow dance to death on all fours
pis in their dotage forced to creep
taus' tactical management and info wars
with omicrons have nurtured tumours
eight compelling needs to intellectual neap.

At this healing process the alarm goes off
heroic etas became symbols of humiliation
transcendental beauty lost in a trade-off
retorts dribble detrimental causation
for salvation, ypsilon prayers exiting the lips
entreating the alpha and omega before the trip to styx.

Riptide steals from this dimension
deprives of time required for reflection
analytical prowess sunken, while the attention, 
which has become sufficiently shallow
constantly urged by a new invitation
generously rewarded to remain callow.

Gamma state is achieved by wailing in oblivion
spiritual understanding is granted to the simian
godspeed, a blessing outracing the speed of light
the soul mirrored as an angel, not a sprite
malevolent mys revert to morals
minds no longer trapped in propaganda corals.

Nocturnal nys widening endogenous skies
mispronounced as kappas to the third power
sigmas signalling the breathtaking sunrise
iotas gifting strength during the darkest hour
omicrons expressing adamant courage
powerful chis and psis will be common occurrence.

Interrogative natures might hear a knock
indoctrinated kicks will bust the doors down
inquisitive thresholds be marked with chalk
doubts to deracination will get bitten
taken for a walk of shame in a dunce crown
in the pillory for all to see with spit and stigma ridden.
