Life Immense

Texas is flat… very flat
I can see forever

From far enough away
Fountains look frozen

From high enough
Waves do too

From directly above
Leafless trees look like buttholes

Wasting time
On Instagram
Read a story
Leonard Cohen
Learned six chords
From a no-name man
Who committed suicide
Without explanation
Leaving a boy
With six chords
And a mystery
Fertile decay
For new roots
A new thing altogether
Thank god
For that guy
Now where’s my guitar?

-T. Weeks

Walking down the stairs
Past the plant
Crawling down the wall
It needs water
They all do
They won’t say anything
But I know they need it
It’s been a couple weeks
Pretty soon they’ll have that look
That anemic droopy look
Well…
I guess now’s the time
Waters all around
High five
Fist pump
I’m on a roll
Gettin’ shit done today

-T. Weeks

Heads and heels
Pairs of shoes
By the door
Next to the Nikes
I never wear
A new spot
All their own
Come and go
See the shoes
By the door
What else is new
What new places

-T. Weeks

Vandal theory
Banksy is Willy Wonka
Strike that
Reverse it
Spectacle
In the streets
Consumers
In a mirror
Mike, Violet, and Verruca
Everlasting
On display
Oh and Charlie
But he’s fiction
Doop adi doo

-T. Weeks

From my window
In the dawn glow
Rose a ghost
Spirit of Las Vegas
Cinderblock chic
McDonald’s golden hood
Panda Express poncho
Liquor store stockings
Supersized
RED YELLOW YOU deserve
Sprawled
On the sidewalk
Waking
From an amphetamine dream
Hungry still

Found a cedar
Curious and funny
Dances
Laughs
To beat of the wind
What do I do
About a dancing cedar
Tap a foot
Find the song

-T. Weeks

Factories don’t make loud cars
They make canvas
Stock coups with power windows
Raw material for a master’s hand
To tint glass to obsidian
To tattoo across hatchback shoulders
The manliest of anime racing decals
To bite at the darkness
With purple-fanged headlights
To create a multi-medium magnum opus
A visual and auditory experience
A beast that roars
Who will know of its greatness
If they don’t hear its greatness
“My name is Ozymandias!!!”
Blat blats the nazely exhaust
“Look on my works ye mighty and despair”
Banshy trumpet tearing the night
Politely signaling to changes lanes
Civic reborn
A mutant
A hero

-T. Weeks

A cup
Is a cup
Until it’s tilted
Then it’s an idea

A Finger
Is a finger
Until it’s raised
Then it’s a number

A taco
Is a taco
Until it’s eaten
Then it’s dinner

-T. Weeks
