there was a poem here that was like a loose edge on the worst wallpaper you've ever seen. i did it a favor, wrapped these words around its smug little neck and twisted until i heard bone scrape on bone.
i remember this. nervous twisting, frayed fingertips of self adornment. finally. there is a motherfucker of a line which Bukowski shoved through the back of my skull from behind a bathroom wall, but it didn't take. 'til just now.
