Today's poem is by Alexis Pope
Ritual Training: Lake Erie, 2003
Interested in nothing is how I explained myself
Light swamped crotch don't talk so loud
when we're infested with particulars
Bees rubbed into my forest, my snare
Eight inches to jack me
How much I hate the seed but love the berry
Try to squeeze the dress on somehow
My hair curled with your sweat
Run my hands over the pine needles
Saturate a daybed my disturbance of your clothes
When you text my name to me
Red delicious swells my gums, scratches the throat
Get caught on the saltfish
Hang glide my slutty fountain
Endangered hologram
Stream a documentary on dolphins
Eat a fat sandwich, clean my ducts
I was taught how to pour correct head
So hard to be a good person
The correct procedure for timing a pulse
