IMATAYM
when the metaphor fails us
we just talk directly at the thing – like your
body is a temple, but it’s squishy & I love
to put my face in it. The man who
invented the knock-knock joke
shot himself & lived. He was a
rotten & charming man
*
you need no excuse today. There’s an app that
calls your boss & says
_________ won’t be coming in today
because _________ …zzzzz… zzz
& then there’s horrid screaming! & a lion
roaring! & the kitchen stove turns inside-out! & it’s
obvious why _________ might have to
lay in bed until the drawbridge relaxes
into dystrophy
*
as much as we labored, it didn’t totally work out.
It was awesome, though! I promise!
Look at us glowing
over the internet. I know you were
here
& I take comfort in knowing
you’re still curious
about my rotten charm
*
who is more grateful for the drawbridge
the cruise liner or the car? Or maybe the news anchor
who made & then ruined his career by
open & closing
& open
things he knew nothing about. I’m just as happy
watching the drawbridge
as I am driving over
or floating under it. Is that weird?
Simply watching? It’s just a
damn drawbridge
