i was joining jesus to his cross
using galvanized 6 inch decking screws
and the cordless drill
you gave me for christmas
when the phone rang
and it was some roman
wanting his sword back
when i think of what the republicans
could be up to now
then impeaching seems harmless enough
and i'm sorry
to hear about your condition
maybe the second opinion
will be better
today
was too warm for january
it woke the squirrels
and the neighbors
gnawing with motorized teeth
made me skip a track
on my next belief
or some vitamin
or arrangement of words
that could have fixed it all for me
so i'll just go back
to nights
filled with black plastic bags
i don't know what's in them
but whatever it is
is leaking out
