« No Surrender | Main | the guts behind »

nefarious he

a slick bomb licking wet storm wounds
some maniacal mechanical animal
freshly unengaged from barb wire tired
the crowd's nebulous eyes wide

the corner keeps a white tower worm
versed in potency polemic, ineptly academic
his girl's thighs ache in rhythms unfamiliar
later they lay in tired tricks and riddle

chatterbox gossips forge legend
idolatry and library stink in the air
a sudden look, an easy smile
she falls hard as river stone, smiling

I like accidents and nightmares
humility and uncorrected errors wild
humanity's thick bloody flaw
tonight his timing's just too precise

He's all things to all people
Intellectual or sexy ineffectual; on demand
last time I met a predator like that
my girl lost years and ran home blind wild

tonight it's a pop-candy diatribe
a hip sexy ride on the escalade
47 broken hearts in the glove box
invisible wreckage dribbles out behind

to the crowd he is alien phrenology
a carnal untranslated mystery
curtain cloaked syncopated entropy
wound tight as a wounded child
