a joyride
in the night vying for
victory like a bloody cigar
on the racetrack the delinquent
of your heart meets the cow
boy of your mind your body
the girlish hinge of an elbow
and your brain a point
of view closer to
where joie -de-vie feels
jagged mistrusted
and misused a nostalgic
pontification rip in
your jeans sharp jib
of the x-acto undoing
form is a form
of attack nudging
yourself with the tip
of an eraser once you’ve
seen yourself fully you
lose it’s too
late to be the
linchpin read the
car honey pull apart
the sandwich miss lunch
monitor bewitched silver
coins for eyes lack of tact
like lightning blinding
the rear view mountains
of your old high school parking lot
coming loose in the backseat
foam stuffing pink horrible
and porous zip down
my heel my frills in your
sweat pocket tangled in
the teeth of your
keys manifest
what you will never
be a sharp
clearly delineated
shape against
the curtain during god’s
invention of that
horrid week end |
