I Lock the Door at Night

I feel a sense of strong paranoia.
It’s sitting deep in the bottom of my shoes.
I heard a sound that
rung like a furious slap
onto unsuspecting bare skin.
This sound made my anus clinch
and my lips pucker.
I could only stand
with a face damned to the South
and an anvil up the old pipe.
I might as well not bleed the dude,
too many red things
occupy this world already
and at certain times of the day
I’d hate to contribute.



And I said to the devil, "You better leave my spleen alone."
