GUN CRAZY (Part Twenty-Three)


From the radio's soothing green glow

comes a Trans/mission

a dream from my sister
copied down in code*

untraceable
untranslatable

(get out your decoder rings)

maybe it said:

Flowing from a thousand wounds
In a thousand different languages
Can you decode the secret blood?
Has the DNA wrapped around your own?

an ancient code in a chemical hand

the work it does is silent
what we do is secret

What I found a little creepy after reading this are these lines I wrote about a week ago:

they gave me the code
it was right here
it was in my hand
then I lost it somewhere
between the fifth and seventh

I think I stole one of your decoder rings.

can i ask why you have an asterisk next to code?
