Episode description
(volume up)
‘no title’
left hand receives.
the universe’s temperament
presses with its giving hand
against my throat.
why did i come here to drink?
assessment of my days
like a piano hits the wrong notes.
four stools down the maestro
taps a blue pen. unforgivingly.
jesus bathes under mosquito corpses.
the last draft of my story
requires a final edit.
with a whoosh the front door opens,
so quiet as it closes.
