ROPEBURN GODZILLA
i was looking for the brown bottle
she had imagined for me
even promised
leaf shadows
35 year old doughnuts
still
in the closet
i am reading this in a m o n o t o n e

all the years of pantachromic salted rhyme
reading alone
on a gray beach on an ok day

Dramatic Monologue
At a Country Club
I took a walk on Yorkshire green
And met a snobbish English lord
He asked what right I had to been
In gentlemanly tones so bored
I smiled at unctuous nose so high
And said I had na' meant t' pry
But I'd been simply walking by
And stopped to sip a little rye

Lithesome words like ‘love’, ‘loyalty’
And ‘liberty’

Not revealing
Anything but
An unctuous feeling
And when prized open
By a devouring question
The contents give one

These loathsome, lithesome, worming words.
Meaningless and absurd
But if they are our sole default,
Let us take them with a pinch of salt.
