![]() Flags of CardboardA Poem by Stefon NapierTuesday. A
march of shoelaces with iodine in my pocket. Feet against
hard foe. The values seep into cracks of asphalt opened up to receive them. Called it a
stomp. Rubbery issues heat and twist like facades of a blissful demon in joyous
romp. Coarse air mixed with friction like a
constriction of a heart racked by endless diction torn from the pages of 5
minute fiction. The fiction!
The festering pages like dying threads where people wave flags of cardboard
that creak in wind. An unwanted
din, but who was asking? When they melt in foamy puddles and form little brown
truffles, nobody asks what they once were. To the
people sitting on the sofa behind the people holding camera’s it’s all a fancy
Yiddish like somebody learned to speak font while studying Chinese. Speaking of
knees. King got us
off of these. Me and my black ones besmirched among the fleas. The part of
history that likes to tease. Stuffing my soles with ages of gouda cheese. I was born
controversial and so I’ve got many friends that hate me. Think I’m a bad piece
of fate and crazy. Feet tied
with shoelaces and sitting at this corner dabbing wounds with iodine. Swift
moves running sore fingers along wet red grooves and wondering in this dark
when God will take me. © 2013 Stefon Napier |
