Setting A Mood: Track Two on Your Standard Jazz Album |
by Joshua Burns
The objective has no correlative. Daylight savings time moves back in this city the tenant every night.
Some cleaning woman intoxicated on more than just cleaning fluids sifts garbage and it's a wreck, it’s impossible.
Fishnets open up their holes. The jukebox powders its nose in smoke. Tin can peels itself back in unbelievable poses…
Candy-corn-a-thon, all-you-must-eat. Spinning wheel doctors roam the street, doing something Nosferatu. Big Jewish noses,-
Sweet tooth monopoly, rock-n-roll on a mop. The escalator runs carelessly to delete steps. It's all an experiment. Our control's sundered
so why not surrender it? Each word I do no good. The goose is cooked, hairdressers do not wear bulletproof vests. Organized crime in a poem
sounds like Brecht. They've got themselves buried while standing. Wet newspaper, many times printed over. Metallica says, “Kill ’em all”. |
