Open Asylum
Sunday, December 7, 2008 at 04:34 PM "Fearnaught repels in snowmite reveries,"
a flaky, can-shaking, cardamom-armpitted woman
spices speechfood at the intersection of "Nettled Nun,
Quinoa Quim." Her rectum is
a wrack, wet paper pulped into underskirts.
But you came here to praise the crazy - not
taste them - and it is insoluble
that someone won't "give a frightened fuck for my husband,"
some nameless, wild turkey
on a bar-paned floor above another floor. But
you came here to raise the deranged - not rehearse
them. Are they the necessary mediums of what
we will not whimper or shout out loud
to unseen anyones on a street corner,
where some cold, saltwashed landhag holds
her final, curbstone redoubt, undoubtedly with purpose?
Though someone is able only to surmise.
It may be whole cloth, coin in can.
