Day Dreaming of a Car Crash

I admire how the earth's eyes only look at you.

Looks at me sometimes, with one hand covered,

and the other busies itself with something better to do.


I don't know if I can sit up straight in a pew.

Tears of self pity.

A crucifix kicked underneath the seat.


I wish I had an Alice door to compress and push my body through.

A key was there.

Sitting on the giant's size hutch,

inside the floral dish.


I keep missing  every exit, every turn, in real time.

I want to prolong the disapproving looks and head shakes

a minute longer.


To think...

at one point, I was above maintained facial hair

and a shared love for vinyl stickers.


What barren cessland I turned out to be.

I have to second the love for that last line...fuck. I wait with what little cash I have in hand for your book of poetry, prose and other ramblings. A gem amongst the drivel of the world.
