Snaking Around the Centipede
(Jeppesen)

Chase the child
past angina. There's
a sullen warmth
his hue-brown jacket.

Stung afro on the
ceiling. Can't alleviate
the reactivated fire.

A bird honks through
a twilit neandethal

star, mourning, it seems…

100 False
(Wascovich)

Pride in the wind
behind your pod
with skin flute
in hand
Lubed
Your lady fronts the bill
while you are pro-this
or pro-that
Outbursts are super
and manic
and fucked-up
but the content is mediocre
popping off with purse lips
Foaming
with filler
Big mouth playground bully
toe-to-toe
with your therapist
