PILL BOX POP No89

 

if you just love yourself first

it all

seems like ordinary cake

 

even

art

adventure

treasure

theirs is a party without perspective 

hold tight, my uncurious darlings

now is composed of beautiful chaos

& flying shits

 

CAFE MADRIGAL 4 - REHAB CHIC

waiting on coffee
at a window table

by the cake stand
rotates slow as me

my
comfort
layers
sag
like rehab chic

and opposite
cars come to get juiced
on the mugwump cement

cost written in the sky

2015 CLEAR OUT POPS

1.

  it
  is
familiarity / habit 

    (both cobalt blue)

and
my
daily doses - pills / love / light

    (scarlet and gas-fire orange)

  that
  keeps
  me 
  quiet 
out on this
alien ledge
  where
  artists
  wait in rags

    (stripes and checks and black-white)


2.

poetry-

pissing in gales
monsoon weeping

    or

  an
  angry
  ape
ripping thesauruses / bibles
into
Orphans Widows Wardead

  in front of the mirror with rusty corners
  in
  a
library washroom


3.

cars at 7 pm
mumble and rumble-shout
  8
  tight
  syllables
over the train track crossing 


4.

  office buildings
  glass and steel layer cakes
shine
all night
for
the 
ghosts of the laid-off

and
  fart out the sweat-stench of the working day
  in
  hot
  steam 

     billowing

into the security eyes
