Table It
I won't attack them unless
they attack me in this year
of the relative term.
This is the allegory
for an ungrowing claw. Finch
at Starbucks given a red cup.
Not the one with my name
on it but the bled out turkey.
The brine that makes salt
hard enough to survive a heart.
Our collective beating heart.
The drum of a broken bone
call to compassion which rings
a dull joke in this year of
the relative fascism.
The conversation is not
a conversation and that is one
indicator. This is a guide
on how to grow swords
using the fertilizer of your throat.
This is a guide on how to dig
a moat inside your own
aptitude for too many
blindbird principles.
This is a suggestion not
to fight over wishbones.
