Psychedelic Disco
Alison Ross
In the psychedelic disco, phantoms swoon and swirl to the beat of Nietzsche. We catch an ubermensch to the nearest cyclone and twist the night away. Allen Ginsberg howls at an unholy moon and Escher bats flutter away, becoming angels on a pinhead of dust.
Back at the psychedelic disco, the DJ spins silence. The mourners dance dance dance dance dance to the radio. There is no joy in their transmission. They drink cocktails made of burning stars and empty souls. The sun goes blind, and unleashes a kaleidoscopic scream.
We paved the sky with Lucy’s diamonds — in the psychedelic disco.

Clockwise Cat publisher and editor Alison Ross pioneered the genre of Zen-Surrealism and uses that as her guiding aesthetic. She also practices the tenets of Zen-Surrealist Socialism. Alison believes that “poetic intuition” knifes through the murk of the mundane and mutates mediocrity into a Utopia of the Dynamic. Recently, Alison was a featured poet at Surreal Poetics. In addition, she has three chapbooks — two from Fowlpox Press and one from dancing girl press — and has published reviews and editorials in various publications, including Five2One, Fear of Monkeys, and Pop Matters.
