blather
say_hello_to_me
lip proton a documentary of miscasts was feeling sharp as fuzz
until the impasse came through as a lip stealer.

when it burns into a thousand screaming eyes
medics will crawl from under the baseboards
at odds but never stalling
as they’ve decided that it’s better to sterilize
everything rather than keep a few spots bolder.

it gets a little caught up in its fundamentals
which need to go find something else to blast away
and it hasn’t been decided whatitis.

it is that degradation
that comes from steadiness
it doesn’t look the other way when it has options.
in come options from all the bracing.

the black felt blanket strikes up a conversation
with the cacophonous drone of the oil derricks
austere in their midnight plunging.
when he breaks out of his clothing
there are already diamonds in the current
that belt against her body.
