Duct Tape

Wrapping me up.
Cocoon of sticky bars.
Silver. Matte.

Covering my mouth.
Binding my hands.
Gooey. Cold.

My eyes free.
My ears free.
Bound. Unbound.

Ripping it off
Hurts.
Breaking self free
Stings.
But it is good.
And shall be.

But you.
Somehow you.
Keep sticking.
Keep holding.
Keep wrapping me up.

Put down the roll.
Asshole.

Hype

Hype

The hype won’t make
Them find you.

The hype won’t make
Them love you.

The hype can’t make
Them value.

The game won’t raze
The solitude.

The game won’t faze
The multitude.

The game can’t blaze
The lassitude.

The hype won’t make
Them find you.

The hype won’t make
Them love you.

The hype can’t raise
Your value.

Words that Make Me Stop Reading

Suppose

suppose it was you
on the other side.

suppose it was your wife
and small child
that your friend was trying to steal
from under your nose,
lickity-split,
just like that.

suppose you were
the victim,
not
perpetrating the crime.

i suppose you’d think
much differently on that
if
you
supposed
so.
