SUCH A SCHEDULED & DEFINITVE & MOURNFUL STOPPING

those tv show ending songs & themes

that played out over the rolling credits
held a deep & impossible sadness

& an intense hope
for a last joke
in a last scene
after the last names ascended

& it didnt really matter 

if the show was good or not

& it didnt really matter
if i understood it or not
only that i could hide there 

inside its scripted cloak

it helped hold back

anxietys electricity slurry

& dooms gloaming worry
of going to school

that fucking zoo

the next poxy day

VERSES OF THE DAY

well
if
the
verses
of
the
day

they vary on a theme

just enough
to cheat stagnation

then
its
the
terrible
chorus
that
gets us

gets us bleeding 
before we are wounded

~

its a hook
and 
pressure drone
of
eat
shit
and
fall down

riding out
flat daylights
gimp fondling
in
heroic toleration

paying bills
and
dreaming 
of batman
of jesus

and measuring
the difference
between the two
in
sleeping pills
and
double cream
