sing sing death house
This house is Korean
labeled upside down
garbled junk for useless hands
and my trigger finger is hapless
but again, Korean
in some former regime
they shipped us this shit
bubble-wrapped and dead
off boats made of matchsticks
sparking lighters from...
you get
where I'm going with this
model Americans
living in foreign soup cans
smelling like Texas beans
because we too like to live
dangerously.
I guess we would remember
all the plastic memories
cooped up in Japanese jail
splayed out, splintered
wearing dust jackets
not fooling anybody
and you
my Kamikaze coffin
you are nothing
but a smug imitation
calling yourself God
