I just need a little
taking scraps off the middle
weeded and widdled
and dusted and fiddled
I'm dyslexic and dumbfounded
solving the riddle
clearly
found racing,
shaking her arms way in front
the finish line waved,
and she braced for the line
he smiled, nearly dying inside
he'd been up all night
bringing god to detox
shots from the soapbox,
run for the hill,
the top of the loanshark
shiny, grim printed fins;

"It'll kill you at best,"
Dear me; Deteriorating kidneys;
"morbid, story teller, liar."
You forgot one,
"Narcissist"
I jerk off in the sink,
to stare in the mirror

She won the race,
first, smooth, girl's feet work
mine are like two left hands
that don't work--
not much; their worth
about two bumps
or 10 ccs,
dying diseased
praying please god, relieve this

swaying in the breeze
my feet from the ground
the same distance
from the trees,
the rope gently tugs,
oh venom and blood
from the orchard of angels,
"Nest"-ing two twigs
one of shit one of plum
they grow together that way,
I'm the botanist, I'm the archer
I'm the stranger night strangler
and I'm even suffocating
trying to live

I dug a hole in my back yard,
and laid down in it
a green rose grew,
oh, a pillow
a black bird blew shit
grave day for nesting
silly little bed post.
