Poems
Jan 2015
The banana room.
The door is open.
Leave it open.
This door is shut. Do not open it. Leave it shut.
Not this one, but the next one. The next right turn.
Make the next right turn.
Instructions not packaged. How to care for this new incomplete stranger.
Monarch butterfly. Teardrop firefly. Three tin passerbys.
The center for new age trauma victims.
Lifting skirts.
No I used to lift skirts.
Bring me down.
Triumph.
The softness of her antlers leaves me confused and shaking.
Bone and then praise.
Supper and ritualized masculinity.
A spot on the wall, no more spit on my face.
Soon my blood vessels will burst and my jowls will sag.
The paragraph starting here. But I am here. And back again.
To say whoever finds him here.
Anything medical related.
And it is so sad.
Am I dodging the blows?
Or moving swiftly between?
She gives praise to the glasses. And the rash grows, drugging with nothing sacred.
All of this son could have been avoided.
Oh, a horn in the distance. It is too late.
Come now ye polished hoods of chrome. Parade along the city's skirt.
Erosion, under humanity's weight stands strong.
A breakbeat. Appearance of stereo but we are just in mono.
Tragedy.
