stone faced, sand blasted,
cemented
and half-assed,
sleeping soundly
like Pompeii
dreamless,
uninspired,
uncorrupted,
unavailable for comment.
You see, there are bones
inside of me.
Bones embracing each other,
in tired poses
laying in the dirt,
uncovered by the studious,
curious,
fastidious, and
woefully unlucky.
Good luck cataloging your finds.
I wouldn't buy it.
meanwhile,
i am petrified
in perfect fashion
filling my space
filing my cells
and ever. so. damn. slowly.
i am whole again,
rock hard abs
and chiseled jaw
Adonis
in slate stone
with chipping lungs
stand nude for the world
in demonstration of man
"This is what I was,"
i will say,
"Proud never to change."
pigeon shit on my shoulder
and no one knows what color my eyes were
