Untitled 2

marked down
a red sticker with a white border
take it out of the cupboard when in need of it
let it lie in disuse if you've nothing for it to do
there is no crime in this
because it is flawed
marred on the assembly line and slapped with the sticker
just as soon as someone noticed
it is desperate for a home
you'd be doing it a favor
take it, please
we can't stand to look at it anymore

Untitled

Who am I?
 I am a what.
 I am a nurse lover, a roll of scotch tape over a gash in the gut
 I take sickness and eat it
 Belch in thanks and declare myself well-fed.

 The rot inside me smells of greenery
 They glimpse my fungus and kneel in praise of nature
 "Oh, you're real. You're like me. I never knew an ugly girl."
 But the insects nibble me dry.
