Going for the over/under
When I love a thing
I really love with gusto-–
G’bye, guy.
I pour out of a ladle:
the full, rich measure of my large devotion
kills me, ladyfinger.
My dewlap waggles
and tickles your downy hairs.
I entertain you with desperation―-
enter you with a destination in mind.
An hunger for an exit wound.
To fill up the helm with gasoline.
Who resides within our residence
―a home out of all determination―
destroyer of melt, anchor of flame,
expose of sultry ridicule.
You guessed the ultimate frivolity:
jeremiad and querulous for the occasion.
Friends don’t let laughs die without enemies.
A song in a paper bag next to a bottle―-reaching
out with quash to catch rain in your mouth,
you lent out the luck you could no longer afford.
A boiler takes kerosene to the ultimate.
G’bye, guy―
I really love with gusto
when I love a thing.
Sparse and Redeye blink washes
of ambulance
giving off disdain to interns
riddled with guilt,
the guilt of defeated nations,
who furtively chew their cheeks and spit blood.
I’ve already moved on to histrionics―paginate my immense soul.
Too much of these good things leave us asking for more.
But I’ve revealed too much already, I’m afraid.
