That Milk
Good milk gives away nothing It sits in supreme judgment of us And I’m trying to be a better person But it is hard Have you tried it? Oren, I am attempting things Mostly hallucinating I thought your folded up coat was a cake The chair a pausing giraffe My anger a type of fossil that requires a hammer My hammer a type of tool that is made of porcelain See how I get it all wrong I called Bruce to complain and have not stopped I called dad to check on him and it got weird We were talking about the eyes and how losing one is not so bad But I was wrong, it would be horrible I thought the prism was a walrus And the table another cake And the dirty plate a spaceship with no doors It was just like the movies but totally different It was like life but totally funny It was like giving birth on a spaceship Or to a spaceship It was weird Like I’m wired wrong I hate you and your light fixtures And your parties, non-stop You non-stick pans arranged in some deranged order I don’t see it I am sorry I am still working On my mural of Louisiana I’m drawing it on a tile Free hand, so it is terrible But I gloss over the devastation Which is amazing I am rewriting all of our histories We are on a show together We are okay In my version of the story I am the big sweaty king And my husband is the blond princess resting on my chest I do not wake us There is no need We have a fire
