Window shades draw strings
to see who goes first,
pulling down,
down,
down,
down,
drowning under the rabbit hole,
hiding
with the people under the stairs,
hides tanned,
skinned,
screened silky smooth
within cloth burrito wraps
dapper than the duke of
earl of Rochester
swapping dick tales,
fluids,
more dapper even,
than dare say in heresy,
my own common sense;
two cents drawing straws
to see who goes first,
slowly drown,
drown,
drown,
drown,
down within the wishing wells.
I am the best thing you've never heard of.
I hold a Bachelor's in English, History and Secondary Education, and a Master's in English: Creative Writing, though my appearance belies intelligence.
My goal in life is to write and to be read. It's a modest stretch by most imaginations.
To most I'm amazing.
It all depends on your definition of literary merit.
