The AC/DC Dark -for “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”

by Genelle Chaconas

acdc
In my fully charged battery life youth, my bedroom blazes nightlight electric, my nursery rhyme records spin twilight warped, the gorilla’s cymbals clash a flat brass tune, the ACDC dark is spastic matchbox ultra bright. Outside, the sky is a hot sour super jawbreaker, outside, the wind cries nova soft.
