WOOD-CHIPS
When I am hungover I feel myself pressing
up against the surface of my body and
when I am drunk it cracks and I leak out
When I am sober I want to be not like any
other non-porous container that lets
liquids pour down but rather reflect them
back at their source with the same
intensity with which they arrived
I think that a heart attack or stroke must feel
like falling off the monkey bars onto your
back on July 11th, 1999 when it is 75ºF and
sunny, having the wind knocked out of you
wind didn’t belong there anyway
