Buying New Underwear

Smash my headwith the liquor bottleto fall asleep(instead of drinking it)—

the results are the same.

I’m tired of sucking upto people who abuse mebut lie about itto their righteous selves& wives:

whereasI know I’m bad(B A D = E V I L)I don’t pretend to coupleinsanity—I embrace itwith both my fucking handsfull, respecting my delusions.

Resolved to how life blows.

I need something to chew on—this breakagebegging me for a pardon.

I can’t escape the thrust of imperial lust.It is fine sand erodingall my insides. I am escapable,certain you can escape me.

I am a curtain of glass / hiding beneath a bassinet

I am a foundling hurdling / empty bread baskets

I am a razor sharp edge / against soft ripe peach

I am all husk / no meat

grounded in the blood

blood running into ground

bleeding into earth as WE SPEAK

I am hot saliva / cool cheek

smooth skin / hibernation

sleep / no work

I am hot / not moving

I am running hard / fast / in place

I am making reservations for empty plates.I am deciphering code for what is round / used(visiting Maslow’s pyramid: missed the food).

I died and woke upI died and woke upI died and woke up

Three’s a crowd / never a charmharm / everywhere

There’s no place like homethere’s no place like homethere’s no place like—
