The Shooting Gallery

       


                                                    The Shooting Gallery

“Still life” portrait, you've focused these cameras angles off your shooting gallery. As these nurses taped up that pale blue door so you could function as a physician to yourself, & The type sheets blank... Curious & clean, but are these notebooks numbered? For they seem taken away in a green eye of flirtations, redialing for relapse!& Your just so unable to label what we have. Betrothed as you are to the past, as our present moment seems but a mere pinprick, & those watermarks brushed past your cheeks in perfect strokes. Centered in a place as unstable as your folks, & these traveling cities sleep in cycles, where winters were warm.Resident to a flightless bird,& you were a dock of dopamine, nevermore now but a dream. For erasing is at first a gamble before it becomes an art, as these smudged stories of paper figures are collections of its proof, & those sewer rats were shy in barrels of sunlight, that territory where their wavelengths were out of tune, but oh how they were taken in by those moments of a simple pleasure. That sense of acceptance I have yet to unearth inside,for he'd always been a man of words rather then a man of the world. As those stories of his forefathers were the only sentences that seemed to strike a chord, dope sick & bored,& They've eaten away our ambitions. Leaving only one motive. Perhaps only mystics or the magi could relate, & obsessive patterns ink the blank stare of those walls containing this shooting gallery, oh how I wonder if this place will ever be closed?
