Fuck the Psychosexual Peculiarities of the Big Bang

Bobby Parrott

My synthetic sky feels so prickly to this subjective anesthesia of nervous circuitry. Thinning into a transmission is not my idea of luxury, though the exclusions of more-than-human humble me past bumbling. Like how there are more foreign microbes in my gut than stars in our galaxy, composing and decomposing me at an unconscious metabolic rate. Somehow I cope with my face, flip a switch downside-out and upside-in until time contradicts the irrational irascibility of sister frequencies like invisible hands pulling me under an exoplanet’s choppy surface. Slippery frictions of astonishment never cease to unsettle me, my vacuum-packed heart the absence of self-in-body, numbers of wonder written in bold on the face of insanity’s mirror image truth. So here I am, dead again, which changes nothing, since the sonic opposite of my name is organic silence. Sun dolloped compressions of polychromatic incandescence have me showing up with my psychoanalyst in tow. I mean, space is deep, even if it is only a mental residue of the Big Bang.


Bobby Parrott is radioactive, but for how long? This queer and vegan writer's epiphany concerns the intentions of trees, and now his poems enliven dreamy portals such as Tilted House, Whale Road Review, The Hopper, The Sprawl, Phantom Kangaroo, Neologism, and elsewhere. He lives in the unceded ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne, Arapahoe and Ute peoples now known as Colorado with his partner Lucien, their top house plant Zebrina, and his flippant hyper-quantum robotic assistant Nordstrom.
