POEM: "Friday 13th"




Friday 13th


There's more fossil fuel in reserve
now than can ever be inhaled

There's more hatred in supply
than anyone could ever need


Wake up roll out of bed put down
feet on the carpet of a flayed man

Play a little bit of Clifford Brown shave
shit shower and shampoo it’s just jazz

Happy Friday I tell them on the Thursday
just in case you don’t show up tomorrow

Sweet Tooth tells the story of how his youth
went to work and just blew up dead just blues

I remind the students of all the other work
remains to be done and better done well.
