We Interrupt This Program
And so I wrote, aimless in my search
Rummaged in the attic of equuuations
Disciplined trails of prepositions
Unsolicited expositions of windy woes
The quatrain roams in the midday sun
Manhattan
There is honking with that train
Son
The bustle, cold slap, fuck you muttered,
Garlic breath, shit stick shoes remarked
A book under the armpit of Sun Life
Building a future rampart orgy death mask
The piano plays muffled, bar girls sit legs apart
I have a name, give another, rattle a number
Speak of mama, her shawl, her hair pale as pride
They think easy mark, drifting dripping beer can
I think naked breasts, uneven, one nipple hairy
What a drag, dark bush, skid marks, blood shot
Eyes that sparkle in a Sunday Park, daddy, daddy,
Skates, snot, mittens, red dots, woolen hat, dog.
We interrupt this program
To bring you this breaking news
This program broken news interrupt
We apologize, corrupt, cropped
Correspondents standing by
Our correspondent, heels high
The field mouse, the guilt house
The gutter, stand by: Queue camera I.
