a collection of short poems [4]

 
job

spent my days screwing up and nailing lines
my neck bent from looking up at cement clouds
in desperate need of a lick of paint



lawnmower man

call me
zoro del aroma
backyard perfumer

my signature cologne
mandarin rind, two-stroke and
freshly slashed grass

fucking olè



the physics behind obsession

schwarzschild says she loves and adores you, oh-so much
that every electron in her body
is charged with a love that will span a universe

but then there's gravity

if you ever turn schwarzschild down
the mass of consequential repulsive reality
triggers a negative reaction of hate
and when hate is applied
with such incredible vindictive force
the protons in every atom of her body will consume her
transforming schwarzschild into a black hole
preventing you from escaping with the light in your eyes
leaving you drifting in space
without the energy to love another schwarzschild again



drive thru

she stared at me
pulling outta KFC
puckering her greasy lips

i didn't know if i should
t-bone her or blow her a kiss



want flies with that?

zombie burgers are the new black
maggot ridden
virgin flavoured
dooms day sundaes
shotgun supersize me




These poems were written for endless and various poetry comps.
