WATCH OUT! – V

 

Who Do
I think
I am therefore
impatient time out running
Homo sapiens fingers
crossed like sieves crossing
bridges burning bridges don’t look
back off back up
against the wall eat
the rich feast like
cannibals on
children elders creatures
sucking dry
our blue-green round
mother’s bones
irreverently looking
forward irrelevantly living
borrowed time not on
my side and now and now
chickens
roosted pipers paid
going coming round right
back atchahaha
and now and now
things
are really
bad and
watch
out.
