Confiding in the Blind

apocalypsemambo & Dale Wisely

What I need more than anything / more than this job / more than Chekov / & other bearded 19th-century authors / is a pair of wings & a flaming sword / or a flat-screen TV that measures / 90 feet octagonally / or one of the smaller / of the 180,497 islands in the world / smaller than Cuba before Castro / I need at least a woman / who wants like me / to be killed by sex / & then killed again / who looks back over her shoulder / her eyes the lean of her body / encouraging me to hurry catch up / because we’re allowed / we’re free to take  / whatever honey we find there / & then confide in the blind / that we took it
