PLUGGED POEM #5


Leaving later than planned to a job that
A place like this provided
For just such a person,
Whose mind scatters with the blue blotches of night
When the sun shatters the shade between now and before
A job where everything that happens in jobs
Figuratively
Happens literally
Asses kissed,
Cocks humiliated,
Mouths ashed in,
Women treated as infants,
Men treated as if the spooge they secretly believe is preciously virile,
Is really lower than dog vomit.
