thinking about hubris
&
the things leather makes
dire straits in my ears & land
dire straits in my ears & land
& i wonder if californias
gone earthquake shopping yet
for rubber japanese foundations
~
& an image flickers
like a super 8 reel
of a cut-up speed freak
scrubbing his doorstep
with vinegar from a dog bowl
& the same raggedy toothbrush
all day every methedrine day
his lover hides his despair
in the outline of sun-up surf
his hopes stashed on a chisel edge
