In Front of These Books

"The lunatic, the lover, and the poet..." - Shakespeare

in front of these books
i feel quite wrong,
so very much in need
of help

in front of these books
woe is me,
slight
and undone,
i wonder (vulgar)
i wander
far off

in front of these books
phantom's thunder
savage schizophrenia,
paranoia -
horns in my eyes


in front of these books
full of disease and defect
my proverb of genital scanner pics
are sick,
even sicker than you think


in front of these books
how tacky every one of me
sits in
alcohol, roulette wheel,
fishing pond,
omelettes, and pet goats


in front of these books
in some dowdy
highway landscaped
in plastic 64 ounce drink cups
i'm hoot-owling
goodnights to all potential fucks


in front of these books
i am so wrong
