Poem, Crass, Truck Balls, A Ghost


My Aunt’s Ghost
July 28, 2024

my aunt’s ghost has been castrating pickup trucks
replacing truck balls with nearly identical jingle balls
we can hear her in the attic at night, hand-forming ‘em
wrapping sheet metal and glass cat’s eye marbles
isolating the assembly in tin foil, pouring in silicone
cackling, clanking chains, traditional ghost things
before wandering country roads, hitching lifts

and snip-snip, vanishing
