Never Land
BY SHELLY BRYANT I JULY 31, 2008

Devices pneumatic or mneumonic
blending together in a cacophonic
symphonic extravaganza
a schizonormatic imagined reality

Decisive split between
the letter and the spirit
symptomatic of a hermetic bond

Hemming in all that would brim over
or cutting them off, making the break
altogether, cleanly antiseptic
even if psychotic

Fanciful world of the clinically pure
void of adulthood, rife with
automatic subjection to autocratic suggestion

Written in ink, pixie dust won't fly anymore
bound to the page in systematic controls
Delphic psychics should have foretold
but—eyes dotted, teas crossed—failed to

Unseen even as drunk down—formulaic
responses to problematic enforcement
