“Shakespeare Grizzled Bear” by Coop Lee
suburban so proxy.
sex so cat and rooster.
love so now //
the gold flaked rims of her plastic.
the white breath.
distance near //
she heard me sing.
i heard her naked by the door.
so we humped kinda like right there //
orange chapter:
jimmy; she blew that kid.
robby; she blew him too.
clyde; she grabbed his cock at the movies.
but i got the everything, the only one to go so deep //
in life i do i do, as my body breaks; i did as my body breaks.
i hold, and now hold: back.
i feel my heart //
light strung to the roofline.
explosions in the distance.
god speaks for just a moment //
particle winter faces.
upon being, upon more groceries.
what we do in this life echoes //
I’m not going to even pretend that I know what this poem is about, but I read it four times and I like it. So there.
better than a sharp stick in the eye—–keep on creating.
