BLANK ANIMAL

powder

to get me up

pills

to lay me down

i am blank animal

ringing up

for pizzas to eat

big bills

rain horrible blizzards in the hall

red bills

shout and laugh/paper hyenas

barking

on the mat

it is clear January will last all year

i didn’t think

dear notebook

and

i hardly felt/supposedly i’d won

writing but little

dear notebook/always laying

in the bath bubbles

all the time

i am blank animal

tipping big as i can

so everyone

goes away

happy

so

everyone

goes

away
