Spider Trap

"SPIDER TRAP"

reaching the ten 
poem goal by eight 
PM is heavy.
with nine under 
the fingers,
the Pacifico waits 
for the train.
I light my candle 
in daylight 
and never deposit 
the coin for the 
additional three 
minutes. 
the bums dance 
without reason
so you can eat 
the apple. 
poetry is 
the medicine
that makes me 
well.
flowers cry 
in the wind
of my reality
and
love 
has never won yet.
