back away from the girl with the pen

the pen can get u arrested
sent to the gulag of bathurst manor
archipelago of the suburbanfathers
where money was worshipped like
the god we never had the god who
abandoned us on the tracks
so mammon filled the void +sometimes
on coldmornings shame creeps in when
i get into my 10 yr. old car named for my soul
and try to hold my head up
as i drive by caddy’s parked at the plaza and
the harridangirls whispering behind fleshyfingers
she has one pair of shoes shehasonepairofshoes shehas

Winter 2020 ..for Lee..
