borderline

 

i’m the borderline hoarder bored gargoyles come quick to haunt w/ their crouching hindquarters

in the attic dust, i’m not afraid to say i found an alien musk that sent me undressing my ancestors

one by one into ovens of rust—here’s your bundled lump sum: crunch the numbers down &

ground them into backhands of rabid distrust. on the path back to straight & near-loved, i wake

up in a day-glo chokehold while the nightclub goes up in smoke-rings out the top. what a

triumphal human test-drive: to spy your former selves dismembered by the karmic wheel of

arson—whether biblical damnation be a fable or a forecast, i’m counting myself able to reform

my heathen ways by dry-heaving my way into america’s heart-seams: borderline states of a

borderline emergency, borderline requiring triple bypass surgery—and the borderline real & the

borderline dream share a j on the street where they’re borderline free from all the seething

vows of vengeance the sea sucks through its teeth, like a family man stubbing his terminal daze

on disease: the hunched statues all see it, but they’re not sure which potion to drink to piss clean
