Finally Made the Paper
Will they write
my life in a sonnet next to where I’m
stamped in black?
Why you Mr. Gargoyle,
You, with your gong and
long fingernails, tell me why
every day is a dog year
and why the atrophy comes
so soon. Itch my skin
like a scratch-off ticket
for immortality
when we talk about
Brain-death,
black eyes,
Some skate around it but I
bang on the ice until my
head falls in and the pond,
swallows me whole
