Bad Habits



Your speaker phone is unsatisfied,


M A G N I F Y I N G


tight throat accusations.



It is a Spanish Inquisition of exotic profanity.



I understand nothing

but a broken 

m a r r i a g e


and that the office

is no place 
for this public execution.

Limp



Interrupted sky.

Failed fingers
catches no
               c            lo         u                 d,
climaxestoosoon.

City body, blinking eyes.
Street creases.
You look tired. You look tired. You look tired.

Humming bell jar.

A pendulum
Swings
          to arrive
Swings
          to depart

A bridge is a
bandage.
Crown of horns
Bleedingcars
                   Bleedingcars
                                       Bleedingcars

I was STRUCK by promise
and now 
I walk 


with a    limp.
