margin to fucking margin

don't just
bleed
on the
keyboard
pick up
the whole
machine  
& drown it
in a tub
of yr blood
then
spread
yr fingers
over that
red
typewriter
making every
page
stained
margin
to
margin
as it rolls
thru

between threadbare 
nerve endings
& the skull’s wide grin 

the soul emits
gobs of spit

poetry: a definition

9/4/2015

i've always
felt the function
of poetry
was to delay
suicide
that poems
had to be
simple straight
talk
for instance,
like what
you'd say
to someone
from an
open window
while they
are on
the ledge
ten stories
up from pavement
anything else,
according to
this definition,
is equivalent
to pushing
the fucker
off
