9/4/22

elements of unfunctioning


its like the tide that
never
comes back in

the hammer that
consistently
misses the nail

the bus that arrives
but never opens its
door

the wet match,
the bruised fruit,
the broken chair leg.

pieces of the almosts,
the unreliable,
the unfunctioning

the body without pulse,
the stagnant river,
the dull aphrodisiac.

somethings remain
unresolved, incomplete

each step on the ladder
breaks a rung

we get nowhere
or come crashing down
