patho-frenetic 
wretch,
be-frazzled un-ravelled caricature of a 
caricature of a 
clown.

spluttered, collapsed,  
lug-nut marionnette mime in 
drag.

tumble-dry life
liquor store blankets,
kindling receipts,
tin-can-slobbering slubbed-up
snore.

hurray, you've pinned this tail,
kicked this bucket,
pegged poked prodded paraded,
now shove the fuck off.

yes yes yes, driveway-smiveway
can't you see i'm 
sleeping here?
