SLEEP
IT’S BECAUSE OF LIFE THAT I CANNOT SLEEP
There are 14 leaves left on my tree +a mad white
squirrel gesticulating at me (did he just flip me the
bird?) Rogers no-showed after 3 hrs. on the phone
with: John Infar +Brett This left me shouting
obscenities at Lexi in Kuala Lumpur who was sorry
I felt this way But no more appointments today I see
it was your husband’s birthday this week Awesome!
But there are more important things afoot this November 5th
2014 Poor Barak will be a lameduck until 2016 & in Ottawa
a 15 yr. old girl was sentenced to 6 1/2 yrs. for running a well
oiled human trafficking machine
On this day in 1954 Godzilla was born Back then he was known
as Gojira 1/2 gorilla 1/2 whale A hybrid beast born of our
destructive capacities meant to be Nature’s revenge for The Bomb
Later spotted atop the Empire State building messing with Hedy Lamarr
It’s always been true that few things make one’s heart race like a good
revenge fantasy: Gorija comes upon the Rogers truck He lifts it over
his head +begins to eat it for lunch Then he makes his way to L.A.
where he has recently earned a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame
O Gorija take me with you! In about 2 days time there will stand my barren
tree + the albino squirrel will shit all over me Divine retribution for invincible
optimism & a precious wildness that simmers in the jaded botch that is me
__
There’s no shortage of tormented things. Far from mirrors I feed
dreams of fame+travel, extraordinary men offering me necklaces,
words that can be eaten they’re so sweet, so warm, so corporeal.
