A chunky stew simmering in the crockpot
Never boiling over,
Never scalding the copper
I am afraid of only one thing:
mediocrity
Middleclassmanship
And the loss of dreams to
maggots in the trashcan.
The truest thing I could say
Is that I'm only good at this
Aligning margins, Erasing ink
Two white eyes, pupilless
With lines and words running across
the middles
I could have held them in my sweaty
palms
At least the sunset still takes
My breath away
I am not in any position
To open a canned rebellion in the first place.
