i am bred with such contempt
and not biologically

but as far as i recall i’ve tripped on hate, maim, destroy, kill:
silly short words whose simplicity fail to grasp
an aching desire to disassemble with violence

words voicing “you’re wrong,” and i turn around and break my wrist
trying to break myself without being broken
because my god, that’s easier than horse-whip apathy

screaming blood-soaked words backed by blood-soaked lungs spitting gravel
tearing throat, red and white, blisters boil and broken, Xs and Qs.

much like i walked through the nursery today
rows of irises pushed up and out of topsoil.

i called, they responded; so i walked
pressed in a place where “free love” and “the blues” met
this finite matrix–plotting a point where i stood
i strolled along, “her favorite,” one called “carelessness” broken under my foot

do I have your attention yet.

so i ached to press my back in the soil
grow and blossom and bloom and for one second serve as some fucking sort of example
before i wilt and die

nobody will read a bad poet, not for one second.
either i will get better
or i won’t
and i will die with blood in my soil

another twisted remnant dissolved to minerals

Poor taste. Lots of fun.
