I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM
Having melted into castiron pot
Similar seedy cores veneered facades
Forbidden fruit chewy caramel dipped
Stuck in false truth cavities
Vanilla chocolate strawberry Neapolitan brick
Almost as good as Spumoni
Flavor of the Day scoops
Dealer's choice banana split lengthwise
Hot fudge scalded runny nosegay
Bubbly brown sugar saucy syrup
Scorched flesh burnt to crisp
Whipped cream aloe Maraschino cherry
Better to assimilate than never
Butterscotch ripple marbleized diversity meltdown
Round hole square peg misfit
Dislodged blending into comfortable niche
Pressure cooker flipping airtight lid
Letting off pent-up repressed steam
Melting point of no return
Inner being seeking outer refuge
Reality put on back burner
Match struck gas jet lit
Feeling slow simmer intense heat
Boiling over spilling tenderized guts
Planetization envisions universe sin fronteras
Borderless welt interconnected cosmic mundo
Drawn shades map pulsating heartbeat
Same colored lifeblood integrated anima
GIZA PYRAMIDS

No, It Is
Current safe boundaries were once
Uncharted frontiers intrepid fearless voyager
Exploring remote vistas unknown spectrums
Daredevil venturing alone without maps
Drawing curtains back on ageless
Life and lives he never
Bothered caring enough about to
Touch or be touched by
Far removed world less distant
After having moved there been
Moved by constantly moving rarely
Standing still getting caught up
Unaware he was ever lost
Though admittedly never saying so
Navigating history not yet recorded
Searching for buried secret trust
Digging up bygone fragments of
Eugenic legacy reduced to rubble
What never really was has
Been exiled to mere oblivion
In limbo between rebirth (-) death
Reprising beginnings with surprise endings
Unforgiving past exultant revelatory future
Passage to next life booked
