life’ll kill ya
at about 3 am we hurtled thru TO streets in an
ambulance bro’s girlfriend having an event young
paramedic slid needle into vein without skipping
a beat
bro+i bouncing
girlfriend trancing
+writhing
once at mount sinai girlfriend projectile vomitting
bro+i still pre-ptsd but barely in corridor a cop
with a gun guarding a woman redhair +slurring
i’m 48 yrs. old +i look just like my mother
looking good! said my brother
woman now flailing at his head
i’m 62 +i look just like my mother there’s no guard
outside my room yet violent rambo fantasies
flickering kicking doors down at a shady florida
hospice bilking another brother too sick for his
last stand
sister intercedes
pulls pin on grenade
now hurtling down interstate 95 old bro riding bitch
and very much alive 73 tomorrow his hair blowing in
the breeze
when we get to canada
old bro will be free
a new man with a future and everything
