Spiteful & Malicious

Heatwave in their brains

Chaim Soutine "Carcass of Beef", circa 1925: www.newyorker.com

When stuffed minds

Are startin’ to kick out that

Shit of their heads

They’re often landin’ in a slaughterhouse

For educated minds

Only wonderin’ why

It happened again?

These accusations, abuse, annoyance

Playin’ with my faith like a football foul

Against my soul

And scarin’ me till I drop dead

Under this unruly world

Lookin’ like a piece of hell

Would fall down on me like a house of cards

Wrongfully built from the start

Oh, what is this life?

Without a peace of mind

Supposed to help me with all that

Bits and pieces to be put together

Security? Only a little

*

To abusers from A. C.’s crowd

if it doesn't come bursting out of you

in spite of everything,

don't do it.

unless it comes unasked out of your

heart and your mind and your mouth

and your gut,

don't do it.
