Kitchen light turning on slowly

In winter the lights take ages coming on

Going to bed, layers take ages coming off

Ages since I’ve been outside 

Do finally, looking Lugosi 

Wouldn’t have looked my way back in the day 

Now she’s acting like she knows me

Has a big back and plenty practice 

Dreams of being an actress 

But really she’s a waitress in the Bad Ass Cafe

Why not just say it that way, state it plainly 

Not every casement can be stained glass

You know that way?

She’s taking my shit because she’s taking my shit

Lines, bifters, hits, dips, dipped strips 

I’ve got everything, and rings 

With which I summon Djinn 

They look like bin bags 

With black, smoky dragon wings 

Sort of a Balrog Banshee twin type thing 

An image that lingers once seen 

Real-seeming, realer than dreams feel

She keeps taking big drags 

She’ll be aging quick, rapid hag 

She’s telling me I’m a dragon in the Asian calendar 

She’s telling me how she identifies, what way she swings and sways 

Mention pronouns get sent away 

Teacher Remus Lupin 

How I wake up screaming

Pillow marked by tooth

Done a lot of pollutants

Roster: body abusing, unto a mutant 

Rooster, imagining ;Nam as a first person shooter

Thought I met Jesus as a light beam 

Thousand thesis, vast exegesis

Eating turkey, next day sambos with shavings

Accusing Turki Al-Sheikh of slavery

I’m more powerful than Steven Seagal’s aikido throws 

I’m feeling that nose kilo dripping down the throat

Afraid I’ll flip it going down the road, streets mean

As a golden ratio, action without unseemly need

My whip squeaky clean 

Flashier wheels than Ezekiel.
