SEE HOW EASY
Just like Adam, biting. Holding that
apple open for the end of time, singing
like some stupid opera star endlessly
wailing about something obscure.
I can feel the sway of everything
moving, but I know this isn't my
world.
-
The dogs above my head keep barking,
and the idle-owner's playthings stare
me down. He's got three women in
the garage-bay waiting. Some people.
it seems, just go one.
-
Rip me at the seams and reupholster
my mind. Stuff a pillow case where
my brain should be. I have no wants
or envy anymore. Thinking of it
now, I can pass for anything I
wish: fifteen marmalades; or
fish chowder in a dish.
-
The man comes over to ask me again
where I get these images from : I laugh
at his haggard face and say "Repeat after
me, today. I will steal no words from
another man's mouth, nor supply new
words where none are due out." See
how easy all of that was.
