snowdrops
all you princes
& princesses
of
my euphoria
you are night-
time’s darling
your potty mouth
makes me out --
now come over here
& tell me
all
about your day --
the system
doesn’t know you
heart
slammed
to
the pavement
isolated
incidents
that
happen every day
broke bread
in this bed of bruises
fragments
are
our
whistles
exposed
to mind
and
walking blues
ain’t you been good to me
now ain’t it a shame
when
the spirit don’t move me
a
bottle of wildlife control
the world
got mental
in front of me
crumpled figures,
crumpled form
bad alchemy in motion
turning down the power
breaking it up
taking your cup
this
horn of plenty
that fell on me --
spent wealth
and real done --
it’s the only
way to go --
bartender!
I believe
it’s
my turn –
crusted
tuxedo
I met you out
behind the bar,
it sounds funny
when I say it
that way --
lineless
time’s own
cortex-
firing
I
feel like nobody,
I forget people
know who I am –
the
floor at the door
sitting
in the rupture
safe and sound
so called whole markets
like a found elevator
fist and finger
skid road
as it is
extended
everybody eats it
oh
oh on
oh
oh off
I got a girl
she’s comatose
ever
since I gave her
some of those --
the
shit she asked me --
hard
was my future
when I taught he
how to get high
since I failed
to teach her why
buttoned down
like
the numbers
on some phone --
pillowed out
like
some ricochet-
biscuit
-- if it don’t
bounce back,
you go hungry --
no
dosing and no doxxing --
I don’t drop down
on a body
without
permission --
I don’t tell
on
anyone but me --
