Muddy Constellations
its just the way you're sewn together
the way DNA twists and bends
a bow legged soul
going around every mud puddle
encountered..
then bragging about
having been there-done that
while having done nothing
and been nowhere
wrapped tight inside
a
varicosed veneer cornucopia
etched
"untested
comfort".
i like to splash in mud puddles
that you've avoided
taste the grit of life
pass a wet Mexican gold blunt
round and round the devil's circle
eat Percocet pie
slap a muddy paw
against the flanks of
pristine
until the night blacks out
then hack down a
slippery staircase
knead a muddy morning constellation
glaze it with cheap second hand tattoos and beer piss
bake it all in an oven on pinball tilt
then laugh the laugh of crows and jackals
