Nomanisisland - Subtle

So much for beating your

Indoor chest

Stood predator

Star

Never picked only placed before doors

Do you not now know what you poet

Holding your breath

Arms akimbo

Stood base thinking in flames of yourself

At the manned gates to fair

Switzerland’s brink

(Or)

Would you fancy say

Going solo forever instead

Setting sail for good on a

Standard stranded man crafted raft

Equipped with nothing

Save few-hundred euros

And the hypocrite

Equipped with nothing

Save few-hundred euros

And the hypocrite inside you

(Man overboard!)

Lost where life is all but — (Perfect!)

Taking the longest cut across wide open ocean possible

Razor free and limeless on

A never again bent to kiss land tour

(Bent to kiss land)

And if things go well

You might

Harvest plankton from the rotted raft’s rope

For your supper

And for your fluids take

Twice from yourself:

A handful of urine

Sip to grind

Spit

In shark free waters

You could paddle with your hands and feet for fun

Tipping her over if a rescue plane coasts overhead

And at night feel for the moon making moves

Forcing form on your unmastered

And visible quarter mile of ocean

And by day on your back watching birds

Appear then dissolve in mid-migrate

Falling from a distant nowhere to an out of sight

Still looping in a starring role they’d played

In what’s our early evolution

(And there you are)

Sprawled out below them

Fast forgetting tenth grade physics

Floating on a few killed trees tied close together

High up above you

In a Hollywood-set style

Heaven beyond two floors of sky

And another five of innermost outerspace

Hang awake

Darwin’s bones

Wheeled on a hook

To the edge of a cumulous cloud

Peering down

Just eating you up

And loving your

Your nature to death

And there you’ll be

Lain prostrate

Chipping salt

From your lips

Sprawled out

In the way

Of the sun

Poor poor

Stranded

And big

Gigantic

Poor poor

Stranded

And big

Gigantic

Poor poor

Stranded

And big

Gigantic

Poor poor

Stranded

And big

Gigantic

Poor poor

Stranded

And big
