"Triple Helix from the Hip"

Triple helix
stanzas 
strung together

like pearls 
wisdom worn 
and swallowed

like a pill
sweet and 
bitter

they evolve
those others
from their bad dreams

like poetry 

cradling their 
purity in sentences
that speak their godliness

as if they 
have done no wrong
shooting nonchalantly 

from the hip
killing their nemesis
silently with dark strokes

like bullets 
from guns, cowboys
toting innocence

they evolve 
golden 
and terrible

hissing as they hymn
like sleek green 
reptilians

they take cheap shots
of triple helix like rum
they breathe it in

and expel it 
like steam, lit 
on fire 
 
from 
their sewers
of nowhere 

some kind 
of contesting
baptism, immersed in 

garbage

if only they could
extinguish the lesser chord
that which exists within them

but they are 
oblivious to the 
nature of their true self

they’re pure
without fault 
condensed and sweetened

disingenuous
glowing unicorns 
with very loose horns

blown, as if they’ve never 
done no wrong
listing remedies 

from solitary minds 
that sink their fangs 
and glistening smiles

into the gormless 
congregation
like rattlesnakes

strange medicine men
they portend 
survival

against all odds
even 
death

the unacknowledged
who don’t remember
where they sit 

at any table

yet,
they'll write their
way in 

they are necessary
the true lost, 
they are a new evolution 

dripping adulation
in baptismal fonts
of dopamine

marking their
poetic vanity
on humanity

like they 
crushed a 
slam dunk 

on sanity
