We Now Live in All the Tomorrows They Never Cared AboutA Poem by Brett HernanIn memory of Scott McCrossen.Surging plaster wave Thought it almost Missed me Small recording to increase intelligence You look You view how You view you Are not looking Really looking are you? Dragging in the stalls For the night past not looking The same Different walking Past he Looks hard She looks Soft the kid Doesn’t look deep fried salt sweet Alphabet hand waving garbage bag Closing order ready In skin that has never Before seen light Glance over The shoulder Tasting only all The grit of an accusation Of humanity When you come to The place where Neither thought nor feeling can ever Be hidden © 2018 Brett Hernan |
