Coming up.

a night after WORK

aligned behind

this glorious brown

violence-

Sears Communicator

Lucky Strikes

2 for one at the Shell station

the friendly Middle Eastern clerk

who once had the beard but changed it to a police mustache

personally, I preferred the beard

but I am not fucking him

I don’t think anyone is

and no one is fucking me currently

or recently

but he let me slide on some change

and I came back and put the milk

in the fridge and set the coffee pot up

with water and a fresh

filter full of grains

so tomorrow all I have to do is

wake up and hit the

switch

and on the wood floor of this place

you would be able to see clean clothes

and scattered short stories

some poems

and my dog chewing through one of

her pig ears

all in perfect synchro

with the Dazzling Killmen over the CD player

these keys moving, roaring, slightly

off beat with the

whole picture.
