XI.

 

 

 

 

 

 

a dog is barking down the street

it sounds like a shihtzu

(arf)

i glow and make an ember

on the dying end of my american cigarette              (arf arf)

in my head, Marvin Gaye

i'm in a mood to f**k or make amends        (arf)            (arf)

and can almost smell the wheat from my pores                                      (arf)

another drag and i smile

the night is almost silent                              (...........)

 

except a train is making its' way closer        (whoooot)

like a lover on the brink of an orgasm

the bloods rushing tidal

now

warming my belly and below

another drink to cool the loins

all the while thinking of Marvin Gaye

 

the filter now warm on the tips

of my fingers and i cringe

take another swig of wheat

and think of shaking plates                        (Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooot)

bnsf is waking the town

while i fight the urge to

rub one out and fall asleep

This reminds me so much of ee cummings. And not just the cumming part. Very original. So tasteful. "i'm in a mood to f**k or make amends," --so good.

This really pulled me in although I've not read anything quite like it before. It reminds me of a monologue from an artsy movie with very vivid imagery and unpredictable changes in tone and direction. I'd like to read more.
