II.
Stab your flea market typewriter
last night’s bodega elegy
dust on the ribbon already
duct tape our future pages
leap frog over
this text me knowledge girl,
caught in a time warp
of Warholian repeats
every soup can your bored face
III.
Roll me over
@ what o’clock
stack of black books
like a
stendahl novel.
sex tray all
the war camp sleep outs
she palms a toaster in
her soft hand
red dragon nails
dig into palms
the blood drips for eons
