THE REDNECKS KICK IN, DON’T THEY?
In Los Angeles, the ghosts move up from below and into your body without ever quite letting you know
2200 characters pay in to watch the show
This is for Ron and for John
and for all the boys
who would never let me drown
without first tossing me a pen
to write it all down
The rednecks kick in, don’t they? They don’t notice the sun bouncing off the steel of their lost Zippo as he slides out of hiding with a hardwood plop once he knows you won’t use him to torch any cops. C’mere, boy…
Not all cops are police officers.
You know you’re a redneck if… you never realized Jeff Foxworthy was speaking in tongues to seduce the sci-fi looking black ooze out from his own ears.
Let Men Be
Let Them Do Their Jobs Privately
Angrily & Invisibly
Allow our Mutual Shadow
To Become One Big Invisible Man
Men Can See
Charge your silver Zippo like a crystal in the rectangular patch of 12 o’ clock sun that blasts onto your circular, schizophrenically scribbled-on coffee table.
The world is loud with bad songs & 2200 character limits. I’m glad I only ever learned two things. There are no hexagrams to be found in Texas or on Instagram.
Cannibal poems are easy. All you have to do is stab a pen into a Texas pentagram and record the rednecks. Problem is the fools know nothing of spitting when speaking uncircumcisable names.
*spit*
They dig their own graves with unwizardly displays. Moronic manifestations of miscast triangles. To write a poem as long as it is good can only be done by a cock with no hood.

I gelled my hair
But in the end
I did not care
To take her anywhere
We sat there
We sat until sitting itself squared
All I did was gel my hair
*spit*
On the other side of this oily screen is a tenderness and a birthday that I missed. Mrs Silence herself, right now, reading this. Her face is lit by the blue hue of an iPhone as the boyfriend talks Polish in his sleep. She sees through the invisibility of Jimmy and waits for his hardwood plop. She knows each character is a hooded Honor paid to her anonymously. The whole thing is kinda like Ted Kaczynski but… cutesy.
