a breathtaking view to nowhere

"a breathtaking view to nowhere"

the self-conserving right
of individual plight
breaks on sandy beaches
cold and dark as night
together with mushrooms
and hotel lobbies - rooms
altogether suffering for
lack of refrigerator light
so throw-rugs teach
morals we never reach
the dark side of candles
and contracts breach
the horrible acne truth
of fossils with single tooth
disparities and coffin-like
failures in sweet vermouth
back to angel-hair lies
bent on world appraisal ties
before the worms bother
to hear open-wound cries
on sand-village phone calls
and whispy coming out balls
seeing through night gowns
to break over waterfalls
and do what we all must
for California or bust
sink deep in the soul loot
to falter in heart trust
