Zippo (For Darin Bulai)

http://charlespoet.podomatic.com/entry/2016-04-30T02_10_44-07_00

Light yourself on fire
Just do it
It’ll be fun

And you can
Tell your kids
About it

And you can
Act like
You have
-
All the questions

Pour the kerosene
Over what passes
For entrails today

We’re all roadkill
In one vestibule
Or another
-
We’re all dispassionate
When push comes
And the martyr
-
Refuses to absolve you
Of your synergy

I snorted infinity
Up both nostrils
I did it on a dare
-
I did it
Because I was bored
And Einstein dared me to

Light yourself on fire
It’ll be like the old days
When shit came out
-
And wouldn’t
Go back in
So tirelessly
