destructive paradox slips on banana peel
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47R267Y

“destructive paradox slips on a banana peel is another triumph in the prolific Martin canon—a resounding trumpet of nonsense bordering on good sense and forcing you to draw your own conclusions. You will be transported to Martin’s own idiosyncratic world of almost realised ideas that leap out of the shadows and pound you into submission; you will be delighted, you will be terrified, you will laugh out loud and you will cower in the corner—Martin’s words have this power and more. Read on! Read on! See what lessons Martin has to teach you!”
—Lachlan J McDougall, LJMcD Communications

“Joshua Martin’s paradox is loaded with image after striking image, the bizarre co-existing with the quotidian; the manufactured with the organic; the benign with the downright unsettling. Surreal and playful, vivid and vital with recurring base notes of the performance, serial disguise and orchestrated misdirection to which twenty-first century existence is routinely subjected.”
—A J Moore, author of m(p)atriarchive (Beir Bua Press)

“Joshua Martin is an expert cartographer of our collective smartphone psyche. In destructive paradox…, he not only maps these beleaguered mindscapes saturated by “collagen portraits” and “dissociative wincing” but alchemizes what he finds there into a surreal wonderland of daring, lexically deft poems.”
—Kenneth M. Cale, author of Greater Vegas Bleeds Into The Dreams of My Cryogenic Slumber

Downdraft Cauldron

You remember your tunnel
as harmless aurora borealis
purged of positive swimming
and rarefied between patches
surrounding radio discharge
sprouting lumpy vortex in
spans legendarily applicable
and swelling untouched paper
inside tornado. Head matches

bottle of throat turbulence
dreading whirlpool party
favorable to overhead pinwheel
less the eye that weave hurricanes
can loaf in entryway weblike
sheets of aerial portable slice. At
velocity graves nipples radiate
the outward lightning rod seal
avoided though seldom stuck.

Electrical droplets pervert chafing
armpit guitar zanier than an
alarmist speaking without lips.
Ascending pilots mature at slower
rates than dissipating radar bones
purposefully an umbrella. What
a large forecast abridges without
a prediction leaving free balloons
against the last stage of anvil tops.
