Poem: "A Position of Defeat 25"



25.

the sun will not stay long enough to broker
ceasefire in terrific zones of death
the day is shot through with decaying breath
the coffee cold the croissant mediocre

i will catch some infection or another
from the untreated slash in someones head
a youtube video of an oyster bed
round razors laved to a gleam by fresh water

a vimeo of a knitted boyfriend strikes
at lonelyhearts and artist wannabes
imagination falls to fantasies
and action is reduced to hitting like

i have set up a facebook author page
invited my five thousand facebook friends
link to it like share follow recommend
or hit my virtual target with your rage
