Dry-Erase Seizure

expositions, preminitions
dry-erasers falling from the sky.

but I've got a chalkboard for a 
raincoat and a half dozen reasons
to change my expression.

synthetic saliva in some neon colored 
sharpie highlighters.

misplaced emphasis in shades of
 bright yellow..

 verbs and pronouns ask all the questions, 
 to vulgar to be put into print..


once an epileptic discourse unraveled and convulsed 
beautifully off of my tongue.

sitting in the corner shaking violently 
at the wrist. slumping at a computer 
writing poetry with a pocket full of 
felt tipped markers.

watching the clock turn slowly
at night shift in a breakroom.

stealing away to heaven in a fit 
under the hum of some ballis
lights.
