Experimental Blues Poem Stanza
Her rent-a-car destroys only the flailing, a snow ordinary yet monetary––
Her rent-a-car destroys a malignant fingerprint, she commentaries,
but extinguishes a quarter of the Michelin Tires I had temporarily.

K is for Sea
K is for Sea
I developed peanut brittle
bones & soft lips
like sliced cucumbers, lobster
limbs & crab claw toes,
sea snail hair. A gull
is a dirty bird, a scrap
scavenger in gutters.
My hips are crust-
acean shells, stuffed
with succotash,
taffy & tar;
hermit crab stomach.
Screeching gulls
scrounging up sand bugs
with bills I don't have.
