Faces are Re-Faced


I used a stopper—poured the Clorox—and scrubbed frantically.

I grabbed a cigarette struck a match and inhaled deeply.

I fiddled with metal or steel or sameness as it becomes blurry. I checked the thermostat it ran a bit high—I continued sweating.

It was years our midnights it was pain our paper but it was shame our departure; to mean so little as one forfeits labels where a man sits scrabbling silverware; where life was vice-grips so gutsy our anthem while it never meant silence; so many locks so many safes where reality meant preservation; mental modems or spirit routers to sit or palm dust-balls: years become light-bulbs where hours become meditation if but to fall for an image afraid of its emanation.

By pens or pencils so dearly erased while personalities are unraveled.

I met her by ransom. This new life—those unfair portraits. I saw chlorine eyes, deeper self-awareness—which means screwdriving insecurities; not as debilitating but rather cultural where each person in fighting their caricatures. Life becomes its kit, those first aid memoirs, where many are arguing over Tupperware.

I would become stoic so filled with stereotypes while fighting stigmata.

I noticed something, it was mentioned in me, like those times an inner sentence pops up; such spiral notebooks such erudition to meet many plain showing out; inadequacies arise insecurities sprinkle while one maintains a bulldog countenance; this sign they see this vest we wear while true comfort is loose and easy or even open. I fax you pieces, but running out of toner, while disposition is so predicated.
