A Walk in the Naked City

inhale exhaleI feel it gently breakinginhale exhale
my internal organs at the crest of every inhale exhale
They're not watching but I'm smiling They're not listening but I'm laughing like a river in spring flooding
I'm reaching
for the ceiling I can almost touch the pain
stretches disappears
the pillars that support my brain are falling and I'm dying crying trying to find a way out and the building falls behind me, but still
I'm breathing deep gently breaking but I'm laughing the pain

Old PhotographYou're a fat-faced kid with hair like a dirty geyser and eyes as flat as road kill, as big as your coat buttons.Old Photograph
You've got a smile like an orangutan in the teeth of a tiger, but you hide it in a brittle shell tossed in the ocean. Your baby lips part to show off your rabbit teeth.
You look like a dead fish, bloated and frozen in your last gasp, but then you cross your twiggy arms, trying to be a powerful genie, and you become a mummy freshly unwrapped and reeking of hallowed earth.

LemonadeHere I lay in my bedroom as solemn as the soldier's gloom on pillows stuffed with hand-picked feathers wondering how to make life better.Lemonade
The paper comes to me on a tray served with juice and ham and eggs. I search for whatever light there may be and determine there's only misery.
I lean back on the softest down and chug the juice perchance to drown.

DogYou pat the cat on the head for sticking around but staying out of the way.Dog
You never kick the dog when it pisses on your shoes and bites the children.
When the neighbors say, “Put that bitch down!” You give it one more chance.
You buy the dog a new leash, pay whatever it takes to get the right words whispered in its ears.
Yet when the cat runs away you let it go astray, you never worry.
You pat the cat on the head upon return, you say, “Good kitty,” and forget about it.
But

There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it.
