The Critical Documentation


by Dale Michael Houstman

 


California is an enthusiastic ceiling
the climate a distilled absorption of mattresses
and here was something else: a visual buzz.
I know flattery is a contingent expenditure
the cocktail dress lost in the freezing waters
and then another video performance
if I was interested
and it was for charity.
Celebrity is an austere catalyst
impact crater in morning makeup
over-hyped in sports analogies
and moreover
insects are insiders.
As far as medical instruments go
some are hated ominous exercise mat sex
weird rampant dating to prospect
a beach in an underground silo
and refrigerator action. Yeah.
It’s something to look famous
in restraint and
channeled
benches in the bathrooms
gynecologically speaking
in a whisper wired
to a wallet
waiting.
