up with the rabbits
down with the foxes
that’s my m.o.
if you can untangle
the urban hymn aspect of it
never to clever to forget about
leaving a trail of crumbs
for the literally challenged
I am not so gifted,
or cosmetically short changed
that I need to go around handing out bitter pills
to the day glow crowd
I just like writing manuals
in braille

I craft several ceramic charlatans
from the usual female mold
engrave the most devastating features
that I can rummage from my barstool memoirs,
from the plagiarism notebook
that we all engage when the inkpot is fuct
anything original is a myth
if we don’t consciously take
the subconscious is always on the lookout
for an easy grift
at three in the morning I’m out in the alley
waving a pistola at that evenings mistake
hurling one truism on top of another
she tries to run me down
just like a Johnny Cash song
but I toss a discarded chair through her rearview
she screeches away like a banshee
back into the jungle, from whence she came
I go back to the hole at the bottom
of the stairs
and pour a tall one
sit down at this word trap
and get down to the brass tax
