(2013)
oh, and how it gets you these bastard assumptions, one or two commonalities
why is nothing i can do now. where it went. what that echo means, if anything
first fruits hardly a handful, the garden
finally, without knowing it was coming, he got to die. it was great. like a birthday party clown, he was equally the center
the conquering child turns 50, gets the gag out its mouth, says here i am. let’s play now
if ever someone is my dearest ear who hears my truth as theirs
if i stub my fucking toe it’s their fault so say i, and who could argue? you almost
like bell bottoms or disco but we need it to think i’m dead
a breeze. already know what’s what. shut up. kiss her. shut up...
life and even one good thing– anything, a course in wonders becomes? no school, thanks not for me. no lesson one so likes declaring to find itself legs. no
people, mostly all barely beyond apes, cannot be trusted. they are incapable of caring
yes, i’m saying sunshine & rainbows will flow from your heart & other lovely places like living liquid
i keep smiling forgetting to remember to stop myself.
so, i’m in this spiritual war. maybe you aren’t, but i am. many great losses
god is unwelcome in suburbia, the cells are too comfortable there, & love rests best under stars.
