paste! Yes, I am messy and prone to occasional outbursts.
So many pancakes in this brain;
where is my shell of amazing porcupine aspects?
Using the line as a ticklish flux.
Using the tackle box to stuff the chopped parts into.
There is a necessary breach in the flow of air when it crosses into a tree;
a tree with ham and shrapnel all throughout it.
If this were a famous tree
I’d have nothing extra to say about it.
It’s absolutely charming to state the obvious,
but when the placenta breaks
the gobs of life lose their charm—-something to do with preservation.
I know what you’re thinking—-the double scoop of mint chocolate
is lodging itself into your forebrain and you’ve
developed a picture of the nervous system
with icicles and maps of Ukraine.
Do not go there, they tell you, you tell them to eat their pants.
Because when 49 shards of spackle
fall from the ceiling, you can’t handle sitting
in that chair that you call your own.
Reminders: sticking the post-it note
of headlines not-too-overwhelming all over
the face of your dead lover. Is it or is it not
like chafing your butt skin on a streetside boulder?
I can’t catch my breath. You sketch tomatoes on the wall,
fittingly, with a scab from my forehead.
I have fallen off that wall;
I was hanging there for days in an attempt to imprison my feet.
Nothing is for sale to you. Eat my bludgeoned pigeon that I stole from the criminal.
Where is the earth? It’s not a marathon, you don’t have to pace yourself.
And wow, You is she; somehow I replaced a character from a novel
with you, or is it the other way around?
All I must know, right now,
is to know the shape of an insensitive urge to floss all part of particles, to get rid
of the branding or the welt or even the freckle
that says, "hey you, have my oven, make something decent out of your baking life".
