My Bones Will Finally Get Their Cloak

Memories are walls
desecrated by graffiti of remembrance

well intentioned people
all around  
and me
playing that „warm rabbit“ game
(take a guess who the rabbit is)

it feels like I'm one of those happy faces on Kerouac's road

I feel like an idiot

it has to feel like that when you deliver a piece of self so other can step on it
even though stepping on it was not intended
but
not knowing what to do with it
they just step on it

when mistake acquires a form of face
leave some words unspoken – they taught me
 
it is nicer to be humanly than fashionably conscious – they taught me

so i just have a message for you: eat ****,
you have devoured all of my cookies anyway so
by academic degree
babbitry of yours couldn't be washed – they failed

when iron clew entangles in your chest
oversleep 
it will go away
it always does – they failed


wrist is accustomed on postponement
and  I have forced expression
for every urbanely pickled photography

that whore karma laid down one nice slap on my cheek
well
on what is left of it 

****

... man is it's evolution



* warm rabbit was notorious practice in jail for political prisoners in Yugoslavia (Goli otok) where when a new prisoner came prison guards would forced prisoners  to line up in two rows and new prisoner had to walk through and other prisoners were  forced to beat him with any object available until prison guards said it's enough.
