Worst comes to worst,
don't go crazy
on a Friday.
Don't lose it on the train tracks,
you will get reamed.
If you decide to lose your mind
at the bus-stop
don't forget that there are some irrevocable
hurts
in this world.
Maybe you will go
to a seafood spot,
at Southport
and stare at the gulls
and scream
from inside the sound studio
of your car.
The kind of sound studio
that could deaden
sound
itself.
Maybe you will hammer it out
in your garage
and destroy your entire face
with a buzz-saw,
because insanity is your husband's love.
There is a bridge
where cars stream
and make
river-noises,
jumping from pearly concrete
to volcanic asphalt,
you might feel how it feels to
go from heaven to hell,
maybe you're always at that place,
but if anything
don't
do
it
on
a
Friday.
Mondays are better for self-hatred
and
suicide.
