INGMAR BERGMAN’S TRON (ANOTHER MUTATION)

in the woods sobbing
the woods’ sobbing
tron posing on a lawn tractor:
it being revealed to him
how it wasn’t very funny:

he’d wanted to catapult his whole body over
the counter at the tailor’s
his identity had felt a lifetime away:
mingling with deep-space odors
like coming back from the PC shop
and bearing that suspicious sour
tinge  

rural areas
rural areas’ modern parts
‘i’ve read about this:
a miracle gift less expensive
than the box
a chupacabra stocking-stuffer:
i have good reason to be despondent
it’s not for sale –

when you start thinking
along these lines the
funny thing that happens to your reality’s
sphere of influence:
you can see why santa’s introspection
consists of very fine espresso circuits
the jedi poke’s symptom of chronic fatigue syndrome’

toddling on a lightcycle
i’m going to wreck your lightcycle:
with this news it’s hard to keep the vertigo out
the tsunami doesn’t care about the hotdog stand:
‘i picture my lightcycle’s modern parts’ sugary flagellations –
the destruction of my world
is the afterimage of a winter ulcer
burnt into the mind
my mind which is coal ash peed on’
