best man
what does - - - he mean?
only.. one of the two towns speaks
in– – my best man childhood artifact

I sang three piano chords
I ate three piano chords
tossed them with dressing
to end my day with a smile
no, I had a best man prophetic vision
of – goddamn, I forget
now I forget why do I forget
like every other roach

on the edge speaking in biblical vernacular
hey I’m a golden gospel
hey I’m a Golden Fleece haired boy from the gospel
hey I’m the best man at my roach’s wedding

I wish I took the clocks down to mark the day mark the sound it struck crystal that’s what happiness in a hollow branch sounds like - a whispered crack to take my breath back - it traces like a crooked spine if I can understand this awake I’ll be a good goddamned man the best one at the flea circus but it’s not self deprecating don’t misunderstand just a rambled half take around to what I think about
