Toby Fitch #4 'Memememememememememe' — in response to Magdalena Ball #3 The Government's Lottery

Memememememememememe

you’re a ghost driving 
a meat-coated skeleton made from stardust
riding a rock hurtling through space 

          fear nothing

i’m a hurt spaced-out
a driven rook made from the skull of a teen
star-riddled in the dust-coat of your ghost-mates 

          near frothing

oi Darcy / meet your derivative
skulling ten riddles your constellated face aghast
hunkering down in its ruts 

          freezing now

this dastardly place reeks 
goats scale the coastline arriving hot 
in the past we dive

          free zoning

like a rattlesnake / guts consternate
cut to the skin tone of a dribbling writer wracked
heart in a moat

          phone home ting

coagulating in the Metro gusts 
hightail it thru righteous cups the stars spill from
haunting at water-over-rocks pace

          enough things

i’m baroque / tarring the dark
a Goethe riding the coat-tail drivel of aces
my skeletons’ll mete out  

          fairy tongued

as in a cat / skilled  
in spatial awareness yet gauche on a hotrod 
en route to meat you / a dove in Ryde

          nether fling

you’re dirigible / like methane goes to show 
Kurt’s killer tone stunned us
rude Hz dead rocket face

          night feeling

i’m inchoate / a goner / your ghost 
all surface / matt & not cute / not deriving from
stardust / cotton / road / horse 

          from no thing
