in the future they'll do squalor like a fashion
put it on, take it offgood
like a found forgotten twenty
look in the eye of the trumpet man
hateful man, I heard: beat his women, a real jerk
who repudiated everything white
walking footsteps slow on concrete
jarring knee joints
the benedictory film settles on forehead
eyes forward
not a Jericho sound, no dogs grinning
but a reminder
ain't gonna change course
* * *
missiles loosed converging on a point of animus
singing the Horst Wessel Song--how it warms the heart
!
ripping, hissing reaction
orders from the top
fins praying the living air, redeye blinkless
adjusting attitudes in realtime for the other
Yes, me too !
Where do I sign ?!?
everybody's doing a brand new dance now
when the clear tip of the front sign post
is halfway up & centered in the rear
aperture...
the oriflamme falls & is retrieved by one
tumescent full & not the saurian grimace of her tribe
looking around
What do I do with this ?
of seamless fabrication, drawing fire
hemmed round with no conclusion
