She
She’s married she’s square and very slutty in her
fantasies she’s breathing death instead of air words
sprung from her mouth like smiling butterflies noises
circled around zero degree earrings she’s on the road
she thinks she has
to be moving she’s on the road
not on some kind of literary well
tournament velocity is of less importance
the scenery remains the same every time
barbaricco allure
Just to keep track she’d say a lot of weird stuff:
—U look like (Richard) hell
please let me kill you
‘cause you were a coward
from the get-go…
—and she’d quote lines like • science runs through us
making us Gods what am I? I’m a murderer •
she’d go down to the Zen Dandies
and she’d laugh herself out
The future is still hours
she suffers she believes she’s filled
with hope and patience and old charity.
I won’t know if she’s really square.
I think she’s lost like miss Liberty through waves of indecision
Or like M.Monroe in an warholian repetition
Or maybe like a tipped coin in a big pocket
in the movie the elevator man says his job has its
ups and downs
You have to believe me,
Are saying
her belladonna eyes, reaching the limits of
The city of women
