Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

I Hate Beginnings

I hate beginnings, plenipotentiary prattle, use-
less sedimentary-sounds. A preface and first chap-
ter betwixt the suc-
culent kiss, the marvelous mystery unfolding.

wash your hands, bobbleheaded-yes.
that was the third part. typhoid
mary, not important to this quiz,
yet she opened the door and peaked
through. i slammed
it
shut, rolled my eyes.

how yummy pages
that jump into the deep end
and we drown in ecstasy’s eaglet
nest. eggs cracking  cuckoos
collaborating.

long, drawn………..out
beginnings not
                   for
                   me

the setup goes on and on and
oh kind of like this steam

letting off

done
