Poem, Injury, Cleverness, Not So Clever, Food


Fire Oil
May 30, 2023

if cussing were profundity
then by the dozen daily, hourly
I’d speak a fount of wisdom

alas, instead, this fire oil
freshly simmered, peppers swimming
I’ve poured right down my trousers

and were it clever to declaim
then by my name and by my screaming
truly I would, of excess pain

be verified as vast of mind
be verified indeed as born of seeds
or at least of lung capacity
