lyrics

“Some Kids Set Me On Fire. They Poured Kerosene On Me From a Milk Container and
Lit Me With Matches”


The sky's collapsed.
White mice in blown glass
pack oranges
sucking lethal baskets of yam.
They run under the exhilaration of death
feet sizzling
through rivers of rain.
Their nails nip the cement
in a tattoo of tiny rockets.
The air's liquid with lettuce
and an avalanche of laughing eyes.
At the end of Avenue B
hovering in the roots of old hands
a stink of furious fingers
soundlessly
gagging.
