INSOMNIA ANGER CAVEAT

if
you

sleep easy & 

fast & 

long &
like a baby & 

like a log &
wake refreshed &

full of beans &
your yawns 

dont melt 

your face

in a weeping sinus flood

of tears & 

snot & 

dioxides & 

regret

dont let my
jealous hatred
give you
bad dreams

i am only relieved to know

it can just happen at all

SNOT FREE & SINGULAR

 

hollywood tears
are heavier than ours

snot free
&
singular

seemingly felled by gravity

instead of human grief

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
