Nausea & Wigs

 

the complex dice, thus, a rival inside

as hating itself; redwood crosses, bones

in guts, the marrow for the deadman;

the meter meant much, the touch was

 

iambic, the force was in fire, an

exchange for water, brought together

to boil. doing like 70 mph, swerve the

lanes, frightened to breathe, like pain

beguiling winter the blotted memory—

preempting the discomfort; the endless

 

sheets, symbolic dice, forks and fires; as

suggested somewhere, nausea and wigs.
