what are the odds?
You’re
a flip of the coin
an
immaculate misconception
an
accident that happened
to
happen
an
inessential oil slick
hanging
round a street corner
with
all the other oil slicks
when
you send a sperm
skidding
into an egg
that
made an omlette
a
hit and run crime seed
and
you wind up the victim
of
biological fate …
yes
these metaphors
are
criminally confused
which
is why there are still
cops
and ambos
milling
about back there
mopping
up your past
photographers
flashing
chalk
outlines of you naked
in
the making
nothing
to see here folks,
nothing
to see …
Doesn’t
mean you’re not lovely but
ReplyDeletehmm yeah
the odds favor
continuation
of the species
little junior
little petals
climb till they
climb no more
the gods do too
I suppose
up and down
their wet ladder
just leave me
out of it
please
at this stage the odds are 100%
