Frogs and Penelope (a title of something yet to come)
[ * ]
Deeply apologizing for double posting:

in the gnawing quiet the thermometer spits mercury,
its color our blistered skin and bleeding fantasies
strewing the streets in glass shards and oil stains.
with the remnants coating my lungs, the calming fragrance
of the cigarette you clench between your cracked lips
a circumvention around the lament
of the spiraling paper satellites
as they farewell their former harbor,
choked in begrudging blackened splinters that claw
our ankles like ghosts of wounded memories
emerged from their coffins in the charcoal relics of the riot fires
that the hoses could not sweep away
though they took our childhood,
so we turned with frozen shoulders on the vanquished folk
in hopes we might someday respire.

'People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff.
I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy...

...and I keep it in a jar on my desk.'

'Both Rowling and Meyer, they're speaking directly to young people...
The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer
can't write worth a darn. She's not very good.'
