Some people remind you
of hurricanes
cold surfaces swirling,
crushing
the glare you get from an overhead
light
off bathroom walls.
Drinking Duchamp Whiskey
0 grams of protein
250 milligrams of sodium
34 grams of sugar
The grouts of your favorite poetry book
bound in a trapper keeper
know
how you will be forgotten.
It's first words
are "The day thee art"
and you fill in:
-'someone who won't freak out
about what I do.'
-'the oils from your nose
smeared across those
bacterial tiles.'
But remember what the poet meant:
The Stagnant Bourgeois
e v a p o r a t i n g
out of existence because
Darwinism
has a germ any scope can see--Greed.
Some people
the fittest and weakest
are in one big pot--getting crushed
no matter what
