i was reading
way too much
about mk ultra
using quantum
number generators
to roll the dice
rearrange
the possible
eyeballs, knives,
a paper airplane
colliding
into steel
concrete truth
when i dreamed
i was a manchurian candidate
this body was a vessel
for many spirits
this one
sat in a limo
reading over the reports
fidelio
i emerged
from tinted windows
into the setting sun
behind the red carpet
the mansion that didn’t appear
on google maps
ascending
mount olympus
i locked eyes
with the abuser
who pretended
to be
my father
we joined hands
we tangoed
step by step
to wagner
until i had
the upper hand
and slit his throat
cut out his tongue
my dance
of steel and flesh
a final gift
i gave my father
entry into valhalla
before i disappeared
shortly before waking
to join the ether
and haunt every oligarch
in the mansion
connected to wifi
