Grandma's drawers hold such secrets Neatly folded splashing colors silken satin spells, briefs of black lace string, & scents and brushes from around the world. How are you? I am fine... I am murder: Crow with a cataract, staring & hopped up on death, in the middle of your street. I can wait forever for a treat. From off of the telephone wires I will break my nuts and yours. On this hot overcrowded asphalt stink of August. When you wipe your brow. I am underneath that dirty yellow, soaking you up regardless of your aromatic profound stupidity. When I am not on black wing On red spray, or burnt guts. I wait in houses for them to return from a lovely night out on the town. Dancing, drinking. While they make love to eachother. I am a pair of eyes in the closet. Wearing their slinkiest outfit. Wet warm cloth filling my cracks. Soon, I will emerge, and introduce to not theirs, but your exhausted blissful cigarette fooled faces that I am the Word that pulls the blade clean on your fears. I am the next best thing to fucking. I am the loveliest lover ever, and you are all on my list. I am pure wicked murder with a purr and dry kiss hint of the future. Just without you there.

Yes! How can p/k say your poetry is going nowhere? Honestly, I may not understand most of what you are writing, but you have no boxes. no boundaries. no rules. this is what makes you work. once people get past the wrought iron gates, you're an amusement park with the best rides. always worth the price of admittance.

Maybe, he gets frisky when he dons his plastic chrome capguns and straw hat?
