Even in the right socket
Only when
shit 's snake bit
does
another 40 watt bulb
blow,
after 2 months
of pseudo
use.

Tiny tick attack
Brought a batch
of blood sucking parasites
home w/ me, after
body hunting for my daddy, &
had to use lice shampoo
to shell shock the lot
off my body
even tho
lice is unknown to me
parasites
are all the same.

A polite gesture
check your map & anger
at the door,
there is even a conveniently
allotted space
off
to the side
for that very purpose,
in order to show respect
for what you do not
yet
understand.
A well designed impact
Beyond the manifold
of poetry in posture, I know
my bite is worse than written word
I tear the flesh from the sternum,
burst thru the ribs & rip out
the heart
in order to force feed it back into you
whether or not you survive
but there is a silver lining for those
w/ the guts to stand up
& speak, since verbal communication
is where real strength
begins

Is it really so shocking?
The canary died
in a coal mine fatality
(the fate of such a bird),
& the robber left
no sign nor evidence behind
(as is not the case of Santa Claus).
Remember to let go
Latched on
to short
purse strings, &
dangling in
a painful
daydream, in which
everything is convoluted
___
&
___
that is apt to be truth.

The sparkplug method
You don't
even need
a slingshot
glass shatters
on impact
&
we liked it___
&
we said___
it
was
good
It 'll have to shoot me, first
Bursting
into song, as
the pain rolls on,
cuz I intend to keep
my cowboy boots on.

Orphan chewing gum
You say you don't
use me, since you don't
need me & so there's none
of me to share,
BUT
somehow
I still get stuck
to the top
of the washing machine.

Changing decoration
I've
taken to
storing what
money
I earn
in my old morphine bottles
since
the irony
seems
to
suit

Truth & bile
Lately
I've just felt
like yelling from
the base of my gut,
just because
I can
besides
if I sing in between,
maybe they will
assume
I am crazy
The Alabama alarm clock
Engulfed in
a round of prattle after
work in Memphis all weekend
we hadn't realized
our approach of the state line,
until my sudden jump
of adrenaline & breathing,
egging on the inquiry:
'is this Iuke
or is this Cherokee, cuz
these still be Mississippi roads'
then we saw those Alabama
hills & trees, w/
a dip
in the energy of
prattle
&
otherwise

The bottom line
So
you thought
the truth would hurt,
then one day
it knocked right on your door
& said: you're going to hell,
& hand-in-hand
I'm gonna
take you there.
When the job is done
Helping another
along
the flight path
to a better living,
does not mean
I ever
want them
to fly back to me
just
to say
how lost they
were.
Not interested in looking in from the outside
Ya get sick
of cleaning up
civilian shit,
as it is a lie to call
civilized.
