is a used up tragedy
a child salvaging
garbage from a landfill
in Jakarta
it is not
a man with a bin
filled with cans
or an aging somebody
behind a desk
if yer able to rent
a video or buy wine
yer probably shitty
but doing all right
___
the savage
lecherous breath
is most often measured
by the plug of a narcotic
or the metaphysical act
of recreating the self
into Job
for to breath an unopened air
is a way of keeping
the dragon in check!
because boots peel
books burn and the spinning wheel
travels west
and time recreates through
memory, and is precious only
to those who have no nose!
