still relevant

confrontations:

stir

not

from hazy cinematic brain

function

-It

is only

the rumble of Traffic in hell

outside

the

window

confrontations:

with

your flashy

over sized

tool-

box you skillfully

repair everything

in

this

small

space

then depart

for the

night

to

attend

to other

lonely customers

confrontations:

and so it begs not

the question of

whether

i

movetoofast

or

you

t o o

s  l   o     w

but

rather

why

neither

refuses to change

their

pace

confrontations:

consider your intent-

ions

then

and now nothing

but

to

attribute

your flaws to

one

organ

on

your body

confrontations:

help 

me

build

my

walls

higher

and

i

will

push

you 

from

the

top

confrontations:

black

pooling sighted

from a

surveillance

camera

eager eager

like your

filthy

dog

lapping

the remnants

with

lusty

eyes

confrontations:

permanent

abhorrence to phone booths

in hospitals

Tuesday

my mother dialed

with shaky

(a)tone(ment)

it has been five years now

time plays

no advocate

to

ease

(y)our suffering

at the same

hands

nauseating

bleached white walls

and

god

i forgot to

call

confrontations:

and he

strapped me to an

ironing board 

with sinuous

hands

said

it

wouldn’t hurt too much-

the sugar-caked

drill

at the

yellow

sheet

i inquired 

holistics

but

blue

lips on my

ear 

cold wet mania

smirked

“girl you’re

wired

wrong”

confrontations:

elevators

move at command via

brightly lit button

up and down the

grating steel until you

can

feel it

in the pit of your

intestines

and spill your

discomfort upon a

cold floor
