FEEDING TIME AT THE ZOO

cordless 
landline
passed-on
at 
pizza time

( be strong-
  if you call them once
  you call them every time )

let
some
other
mad
drunk
ruin themselves 
calling the world

anyway
i always
bring the drink
dont i ?
and
i
seriously
cant
be
dealing
with
a
clabby phone call
in
this
degenerate 
state

i can smell my own snot
i can !
and
my
arms
are an untrained operators
practice crane

and my boots-
well 
they
might as well be
on the back of my head

wait tho-
cant you see 
im hiding here ?
from the mutants
and the landsharks . . .

even

attempting

going

to

piss

is

too

fraught

with

risk

of

exposure

and

quick

defeat

down here

under no stars

a new kind of dead

on

the

killing floor

UNICORNS IN THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE

so
self absorbed
are
the
unicorns in the slaughter house

appearing like a vision
six
feet
above
the killing floor 

that it doesnt break their hearts

to see the city

~

and that they dont know
means i dont know
if they should know

in
case

ignorant unicorns

dream floating
on rainbow gas

is
as
close
to
free
as
we
can
get 

~

and i am medicated and filed
and my file is tagged

- generic western
- a privileged kind of poor
- artistically marginal
- class z economic unit
- possible self help fodder
- possible drug seeking behaviour

when everyone 
going to the drs
is guilty of
drug seeking behaviour

its the western way
if
the mind is a busted tool box
filled
with
busted tools

so its scrips or the street
whatever it takes
to be a unicorn 

with a golden mane
and a tail of stars
preening
above 
the
abattoir
souls
