Throwing a grenade through the Stargate
Leaving behind the mindless hordes
Of dreamless poets
I power walk across the folded
Universe
Laughing to myself
About the flaming shit bag
Left in the writers guild of eternity’s
Front steps
Dove in to a wormhole made of jazz
& Slid
Back to Pistol City
Just in time
For rendezvous
With the hounds
Of the goddess
For the predawn hunt
For vision
