black wombat

still in the trees leaves still
we still rip back quick trap still
but and so we still kill these trees:

D7 these old fella tuart cloud-scrapers: her transpirational feedback.
this canopy altercation. for the sake of a swift kick dollar dollar trip
and we forgot to remember we can't eat the money;
we cant eat the money
we cant eat the money
we cant eat the money...

but we eat big this

thick black titanium biscuit rich with depleted uranium swirls
this distorted rubber rainbow.
this silicon brick bark backyard cripple spit on the magpie cliffs.

these thumbcuffs grip n concrete cracks
like a 44 gallon barrelof esoteric clarity
and this multi-level subtextual spin-doctored capital crime fallacy.
this fabrication of degredation Ti02 humanity.
this tear-filled forest of bulldozer resistance.
these white-walled logos of mish-mash oscillate n desicrate
the long dead custodians of this woodland philosophy,
this dreaming language trod like bones crushed under steel-wheeled tracks
of desiel yellow/black refugee killers
from Jenin to Ludlow we kill yr spirit of the hyper-loyal semantix
of the super-sized homogenised CORPORATION:
like bin laden footballs on roids.
this community; this animal; this man; this woman; this child;
this bird; this cell; this tree; this ant; this subterranean freedom;
yr freedom; our freedom is their freedom.

this mist-dis-kiss away the bliss of a toothpaste hiss;
kiss the fist of un-representational DEMOCRACY.

I AM NOT necessarily insanity
the very model of economic demografik spray-on skin tan state hipocracy
or a vainglorious lover of every single infinite shopping centre mirror
mirror mirror mirror walls on the faces of this bleeding suffocating rock.

this blood; this bark; this cell; this body this man is not an instillation:
this black wombat this black wombat:
this black wombat this black wombat
this black wombat this black wombat:
this black wombat this black wombat
this black wombat this black wombat:
this black wombat this black wombat
this black wombat this black wombat:
this black wombat this black wombat
this black wombat this black wombat:
this black wombat this black wombat...
