Getting Ready for Work

Check my nose
for overnight eruptions,
feels like moon rock, could be worse.

I avoid the mirror,
wild men live in my face,
their campfires still smolder
in my eyes.

Columbian angels
pour coffee into my veins.

I should trim my fingernails.
I leisurely dig a worm out of my brain -
with a prayer.

If you live in my world
you will pick up your digital spade,
commence to shovel with me.

Side by side we will tunnel our way
into some kind of
perfection.
