SOMEONE WITH MY NAME SPEAKS ILL
someone with my name walks with disease
they say she's raided the photo albums
each cat has his own window
each dream has her own house
someone with my name speaks ill
of the girl in the photo. each window
looks back like a cat. brain unfolds
its luggage. thoughts unravel.
the girl in the photo acquires sunglasses
each dream is a brain unto itself
MAGNETIC SQUADS
the girl in the photo wanders lonely
as often these kind of girls do.
skating on the sky, hanging on
a faithful star: count on this.
the girl in the photo finds the firing squad
soulful. it quiets the light of magnetic resonance
imaging. so much for truth in advertising.
biohazardous waste sleeps closer than you think.
the girl in the photo asks brain to step forward.
no warnings posted.
