That ripple of neon, a tarnished mirror
smeared w/lipstick

a lump of lord have mercy & vapor trails feathering out

damp ocean eyes

a strange case, in black & white,
hitting the beach or what’s the use

damp shadows in the fog

              the Cosmic Burger, the Moby Taco, the
              24 hour drive-thru pharmacy & delicatessen

                              I’ve been here before, I said, but not like this

confusing rabies with rabbis

the buddhist rabbi, the chain-smoking vegan yoga instructor
& her dog,
              the murderer watering his lawn,
                                                the neighbors said he
kept mostly to himself was very quiet & smiled
when he swept the driveway

but you wore the eucalyptus nail polish anyway & the smog
& the pampas
                              w/room for paranoia & glorification
              the next in line & the one after that
a bowl of chili, a cup of coffee & my next tattoo

              The night slips away
                              the day turns to glass

THROUGH THE AIR VENT
a love affair w/opiates

damp ocean eyes
