 Startled sirens  


 salt biscuit  

You're wrapped in irons

Sweat and fevers 
Stained bedclothes and torrential rain outside
12 gauge over/under on the floor
Your psyche in the cabinet
Car pulls up 
Wipers flapping away
DoorDash
Let's eat!

 Statted 

Skatted
Slated
Slatted
  Ponder another
Star light morn
N porn
View
Demise 
of the stars -
Echoing in
hablandoing 
Grand Canyon
Dead Horse Canyon
Waimea Canyon
Water eats the dirt
La lengua
The rocks 
the coastal highway
Where you built your house
Of stars of KFRC
OF WBCN
BOSTON
J. Geils 
Etc

 I played my cards

Shoot the Moon!
last hand 
fraught 
it's just a game!
time to reset?
don't want a loss in my statistics (very important)
lowering my percentage 
When the cards fall
and they will
you'll line them up
and you'll knock them down 
The Queen of Hearts
The Ace of Spades
The Two of Clubs
to
Thirteen + Thirteen

 I called

the broken writer
bemoaning his drink and ice
his fingers slipping
His keys lost in the garbage can
the cat sleeping on his coat 
He hammered the typemachine
with echoing grunts and coughs
The floor covered in dollar bills
a childs high pierced shrieks outside
"Hello?"

 I lapsed

into phoniness
God bless phoniness
It props the unwanted
It caresses the unreasonable
It spits on schoolbooks 
covered in a brown paper
and marked up 
with your name 
and classroom
Mrs Sorenson
6th Grade 

 I never tried

I smoked 
and ate chicken and waffles
I never gave a darn
So what
If you give a darn 
Don't worry
It'll all come around
On a blue gingham dress girl 
Round the mountain

 Read the sorrow

In the faces
The dead kids
The dead women
Genocide with our money
Our legacy continues 
Kill and take
You are not one of God's Chosen
and God is a huge asshole

 It's out there

The stolen land
The sanctimonious brethren
Time to give it back
We raped a nation with guns and cannons
We took what we wanted
and enslaved people 
Tear it up 
Dry up
Now the karma has come due
Boo hoo

 Fountains of dread

Walk the line
Read your lines
Play the part
Of Calliope
The island of the library
Banished but you still live
And your powers continue
Like a picture book
With no words
