you're the flower in the swamp
flag unfurling at the top
you did everything that you could
they don't treat you like they should
so you bemoan your gold eggs ran dry
but the words never rhymed; you spit and you lie
mouth writing checks your brains couldn't sign
it's the difference between the lens and the eye
bellyflop into a swivel chair
leap with both feet but you'll leap into the street with crutches
your clothes never seem to fit right
pictures in your dad's suits but the ties are too tight
buried in leaves and burned at the stake
but you're holding the match; you borrowed the rake
how much of your blame should you have to take?
you flooded the car; your foot's on the brake
ships don't come in
when they don't sail
you're deflating your tires in the parking lot so you can't drive home
eyes roll back slow
time rolls back slow
when did you lose the plot?
when did you sell the farm?
did you forget?

Eat dirt
Get smart
Not the future
Not your choice
Speaking softly
Saves your voice
In the book
In the art
In the film
Now you're so smart
Bite down
Onto
Your own
Teeth and
Bite down
Onto
Your own
Tongue and
Watch as
Your guts
Bleed out
Your mouth
But watch as
Your thoughts
Turn into
Things you can't touch
Now you're
Smoking
Now you're
Shaking
Now you're
Floating
Now you're
Nothing
Eat dirt
Get smart

Off by One

trying to untwist the
seatbelt buckle; I
know it's backwards, the
red light flashing on and
often fidgeting,
your body facing
backwards, the red light
flashing on and off
wilted vegetables
sit in their plastic
bag in the fridge, the
red light flashing on and
off by one, we were
off by one, we were
off by one, we weren't
sure what time it was
too hot for this shirt
but I
know I might
need it later on
should I take the time
to think if I
should take the time
to think if I'm
using my time right?
shovel the aspirin
piles into the big
mouth that opens and
swallows all the air and
burns down all of the
sweatpants and all the
fire ants and all the
rainbow colored crayons
canyons are closing
mannequins are posing
dads outside hosing
down their Chevrolets were
off by one, they were
off by one, they were
off by one, now we cover up the shame
hanging upside down
with your smile, so
your mouth faces wrong
ironing your day
fifteen minute
break
I found
your letter
of resignation
under a bridge
why didn't you turn it in?
I found
your uniform
under a bridge
why didn't you turn it in?
