Poems
Sep 2018
attitude
don’t numb that brain silly boy
put it to good use
cleave in half
the line parsing
chest from
chin hair
you’re a man when
you say you are
save the streaks of palm-filth
dug-under nails broken
buried under dirtweight
what do you know of slippage
—something
****** as inch-thick glass
run through a filter
tossed aloft
into
the ceiling
fan
I’m left for nothing of my efforts
it's dirt under the fingernail
you can taste it
it's dirt
taste it
dirt taste short attitude front survive life ride streaky
