O YOU STREET MAMMAL YOU



o you street mammal you

of rigorous toy
and
of rigorous tit

you hitch velcro fastened pig skin
in wasted genius paws

you hang 
a nylon strip neckwise
and pointing
d
o
w
n
to the shame mistake

and go out that way

an ordinary murder
l homme flavoured fodder

into
the 
byzantine turnstiles

~

you meat tower you
uncured on
calf leather shoes

o you mammal you
streetside in another animals
repurposed hooves
to scuff along broadway
in the tease breeze of payday

you display such epic lack
flush with your guff 
and 

g  o  n  e 

with stuff

~

o you night mammal you
fermenting gallons
in
your
muffined gas bag

o you mammal
you flannel
you dishcloth
you tea towel and pocket watch

kept on the dresser
for the soldier who never
came
   k
  c
 a
b
from the mud o mud o mud
of the trench o clock everydays
that a red flower will do

~

come out

you city monkey 
you cutlery beast

it must be so thoroughly dark in there

you       t  h  r 
hide    n          o
your   u              w
                       n 
                       turds
in the stone underground

come real size
come for lunch
stay for the weekend
naked

naked
like when you sleep

~

like when you sleep
plastic tags on the sideboard
and
blown of mind

blown of mind
o you mindless mammal you

you collapse and heave 
in 
brushed cotton-picked cotton

broadcasting
in the radius
with the si
           i
            i
             ighs and snores

half calling unnames in the dark

of the timeout death 
of the sleeping song
