could have told
you all along
said even I could have told
you all along he’d shut his eyes
& the light stayed on rock broke
scissors & he sent hot strings
thru blasted bands said new-found
& old-town ghosts told him : be hard
be hard his first arrest charge:
suggestive contortion said
his body so-placed lude
echo to sidelong thoughts said
he couldn’t just watch listen
said his brain was a basket
with a wet snake inside songs
takeover sight sound peels
from an orange corks popped in
b flat said : first person stops
talking deals with me be hard
to the clouded spirits be
hard be clouded spirits said it twice
snow falls too slow said it slow
