Shit Stained liars speak
Offering words of wisdom
The polls are open
Specificity is the soul of narrative – John Hodgman
-
Signs clog the corner
Candidates on active show
The toilets are full
My block is full of signs for local political candidates. All vying for space admist the weeds, trash and flotsam. My dog pisses on them every time we go by. #goodboy

Hail hornbeak
Mud dweller
Wrapped in brambled kingdom
King of brackish dishwater
Iron backed elephant
Lord of the swamp
What honor and glory you bestow upon me with resolute parade
How you follow me, across pitted
Tarmac, ponderous steps in
Unison with my own
Exiled by choice on fealty quest
Gallant and proud, you rise up to meet the car that bares down upon you
Dashing Royal Colors against the common stone
Kingdom abandoned, smashed asunder
I salute
Your broken Grail
-
In tangled, well-worn threadbare mess
Heaters piled alongside harpied phone
Tumbled record players fumble to caress
Rusted acetylene tanks, open lying prone
My host a filthy leather recliner
Lying coated on the dusty slip wood floor
Packed next to mismatched broken china
Testament to my own vigor
I am not a flea market pawn
Nor white trash savior immune to scorn
My $3 sandals, books reshorn, worn
Waiting patiently to be borne
Home
