I try

after Tamas Panitz

I try to be good and then go outside
it's too trying
doesn't work for me
can't keep cringing into a posture
of appeasement

Life starts when the heart melts
There's nothing to find on the porch
The sewer's open so take a dive
Lo pueblo won't have you for dinner
Donuts have pork but don't stutter
for my sake
I'm listening to Ravel but if I don't
try very hard to follow, it's lost on me

They don't press you
I stabbed a basketball dead
The morning is lost on untucked shirts
Those without their immunizations
always seem the saddest
