The Families Fees

"The Family Feed"
9.16.13

The Family Feed is in the yard
Some mangey dog is barking hard
The coffee pot sputters
Like some Iron Black Lung Machine...

A sound that's tied to -
insinuated sinews
of jittery coughing muscles.

That butterfly the effect,
of the springs in the bed,
that twist and turn and boggle the head.

The Family Feed is in the yard
Some Love scarred Heart is beating hard
The rib cage aches
Gentle lobotomized dopamine wean.

A pain that's tied to -
attractive attachment
of bubbling popping corpuscles.

That tap-foam the effect
of veins that once bled
that spurn and stain the jungle ahead.

The Family Feed is in the yard
Some Black polluted pipe is pumping hard
Real estate patch saturates,
Slowly soaking osmosis of the obscene.

Sensation that's tied to -
desensitized detachment,
of cackling collapsing morals.

That slip slope the effect,
of Vows that once wed
That ruined and raged and miscounseled instead...
