CATCHING CATCH 22 & MARATHON ESCAPE

my 
empathy & understanding
is
huge & disabling

& dissipates
any righteous rage

its rain on my embers

& THAT

makes me angry again


~


we are 
stumbling 
in the 
back-end cluster
of a
crowded mindless
hotbed marathon 

look behind us
theres space there

dont compete says dont lose

&
you
can
piss
in
private then

& call it a win
call it paradise

SOFT MAINTENANCE HARD FURY

in the optician

talking about blue light wavelengths

and its ok
the guy is ok

he got deep brown eyes
in his phd head
i must stare at
while he sharpies my lenses

but i want to shout out
fuck all the glasses
fuck it all
fuck you all
and storm into the street

wild
and
absurd

an orphan ember

flung
and
fading

~

in the dentist

its ok i spose

and
among
other
questions
that
i
leave
blank

i have to rate my smile
from 1 to 10
on
a
clipboard form

i give it a 10

but
dont
use
it
here

cos i want to shout out
fuck all the teeth
fuck it all
fuck you all
and storm into the street

wild
and
absurd

an orphan ember

flung
and
fading
