My Handlers Advise Me to Keep Mum
Born at an early age
Only I come back to haunt me
Last winter she read Freud on the insanity
defense
In the morning we were children
Some of us prefer to fall.
You feel love in novels
Is more real than life
Still he wishes he’d attended
Debord’s premiere of Howls for Sade.
Why do moths always seek
artificial light?
Never give up on the lyric.
upgraded from the black list
Smersh killed Lexie
For her poems in code.
I admire defiance.
Night in the poet ignites
An occult battle on the heights.
I don’t wanna know the Secret.

To 3 more lives.
to a gray area
Papa Babalao tooks
Me down. Shimmy
Shake. She hot blooded.
Shoot him ‘for he run.

Still tell all in Hell an un-ill

Didn’t know what a bidet was
For and I’m still unsure; can-

Nothing to read but my palm.

13 touched my hair.
2
I don’t close and use a star
As a black hand of one kind or another.
3
Which fortunately had drunk
And cut their killer first inside.
