One day, I’ll die.
I’ll read a poem that won’t rely
on sex and drunken pomp...
it’ll kill me
damn the luck a poem thrills me.

I have the strands of greying time,
I have the luck of rhyme-
fallen is its flavor.
Baptized before the neighbors,
I throw bottles of budding bard
so they pick them from their yards
or kick them back to mine.

Once i wake up wet and sour
still i need to empty self
but for the fact you covered me
in plastic sheets. The piss
slips down my knee
and you sit there on my lap
reading poetry
but really wanting rigor mortis-
the true epiphany.

"and you sit there on my lap
