when the cracks show
like dry earth filigree
i filler them
with lou reed & anne sexton
with sharp cheddar & con air
& i write something down
write this down
call it a poem
call it essential work
& rub the blear from my kliegs
& send this pixel clot & bolus
down the byebye wifi stream
& everyone look -
john cusaks saving the day
in his socks & sandals
