Wasn't on purpose that I drilledA
through my finger or the nurseB
laughed She apologizedC
three times and gave me a shotD
of something that was a lusherE
apology The personF
who drove me homeG
said my smile was a smearedH
totem that followedI
his body that night as it arcedI
over a cliff in a dreamJ
He's always flyingK
in his dreams and landsL
on cruise ships or hoversM
over Atlanta with an erectionF
He put me to bed and the drugsN
wore off and I wokeO
to cannibals at my extremitiesP
I woke with a senseQ
of what nails in the palmsR
might do to a spiritI
temporarily confined to fleshS
That too was an accidentI
if you believe JudasT
merely wanted to be lovedI
To be loved by GodI
Urban the thU
had heads cut offV
that were inadequatelyW
bowed by dogma To be lovedI
by Blondie DagwoodI
gets nothing rightI
except the hallucinogenicX
architecture of sandwichesY
He would have drilledI
through a finger tooI
while making a case for booksZ
on home repair and healthA2
Drilling through my finger'sZ
not the dumbest thingK
I've done Second placeZ
was approachingK
a frozen gas cap with lighterE
in hand while thinkingK
heat melts ice and notI
explosion kills asshole FirstI
place was passingK
through a bedroom doorB2
and removing silk that did notI
belong to my wifeC2
Making a bookcase is notI
the extent of my apologyW
I've also been beaten upD2
in a bar for saying huevosZ
rancheros in a wayE2
insulting to the patrons'Z
ethnicity I've also lostI
my job because lyingK
face down on the couchF2
didn't jibe with my employer'sZ
definition of homeG
office I wanted her to comeG2
through the door on SundayE2
and see the bookcaseZ
she'd asked me to buildI
for a year and be impressedI
that it didn't leanH2
or wobble even thoughI2
I've only leaned and oftenF
wobbled Now it's halfJ2
done but certainlyW
a better gift with its mapK2
of my unfaithful bloodI
