Bad Chinese
Gristle hung from teeth
Chewing meat from desiccated remains
Stomach below heart
above cock
Listen to the river billow like a smokestack
Look at your lover
Scan the eyes for recognition
Don't try so hard to be "The Man"
Just let the liquid saturate the flesh
Watch the stains chase the flies
Notice the lines at the grocery store
No one smiles
No
One
Smiles
