Paper Tigers
"Paper Tigers"
eyes mark slow time
spotting leopard rhyme
never changing its spots
black balled

waxing lyrical strings
tied to the weary...

Plus hand-selected worms and lures…
I was...

Slowest With a Gun
The whips will crack across the back
of the steers that won’t move on.

for the day they will be gone.

As morrow never rolls to spell crux truth, high.

in a place where they’d find nothing,

Made Wrong

in the shadows of a soot-stained alley,
he was standing tall, and in his right hand,
