Spring
 
 
it’s March
and where is that
assholespring—
 
there’s
no
point in
sex-me shoes
before dawn prayer
anti-sagging goos
brains lacy underwear
kindness cash
screw multiple phone calls
don’t bother with an RSVP
Lysol fake ID
dontwasteyourtimeon
negotiation
what use is
an altercation
how can you justify
punctuation
peddle baby talk
nothing will make
that
stubbornbastardspring
push up
through hard rock
no ifsandsbuts
no pleadingearning
just turning
 
there aren’t enough
Springsweetmotherofgods in me
to praise
 ---don’t you EVER do that to me again---
such turning
