Evacuate the rap of flip, zip, I’m-so-hip one-liners.
Empty telephone wires
that never connect.
Rattle, zero prattle
Slappy, dappy madness—
Cell phones instead of ears
Replace being awake.
Let me have a break and back
Off, Jack. Eat the clichés
That say stop and desist.
Give it up. Enough.
Let me breathe
You deep into my brain.
See you laughing at 9 am on a Sunday.
Watch you pull apart a cinnamon bun.
Licking sticky fingers
Dipping fried bananas into huckleberry jam
as you tell me a long story
of motorcycle rides through Lolo pass.
