Electrons move through fasciae
at the speed of light in one direction.
Acupuncture has to do with electrons.
Shadow governments are bipartisan.
Steven Greer’s books seem rare.
Editing poetry in my fascia.
In dreams we forget life.
In life we forget Judy Mikovits.
In December or January
chewing grows face bones.
Brains build CB2 receptors
when concussed or toxified.
Trails named Secret, Kimchee,
Escape, Spooks, and Kukui.
Squeezing instead of scratching.
Ron and Prescott gifted us fruit.
Chronic fatigue syndrome is viral.
I contain glass shards, retroviruses,
recombinant human albumin, fetal
bovine serum, ractopamine, shadow
biospheres, biological dark matter,
time loops, hypertime, counterspace,
lunar sinuous rilles, crater chains,
Schizophrenia: A Review of
the Syndrome
, perpetual isolation,
and prolonged narcosis.
