The Reuben

Look (Poem 20 of 30, April 2014)

look, there are problems
long lustrous problems
problems that are not on speaking terms
driving broken down toyotas to jobs at wal mart problems
sickening themselves on cheap liquor and karaoke
the problems have children, running around the toy section at sears throwing monkey shit at each other and at you and some old people problems
the expanded waist line pants dance a pre Cambrian contata spritzing White Diamonds on hairless cats problems
waking up alone blood stains on the pillow little pin pricks on your neck you ask for your steak raw, you eat it at the alternative bookstore, the clever underground fetishists take pictures, some one floats accusations of misogyny problems
every 1600 feet is a military out post, the entire global industrial complex lifeblood is on the other side of these well armed sociopathic rent a cops where your blind date told you to meet her problems
