SOGGY STICK MAN



now 

more 
than 
ever

i am full of blood and bones

drilled teeth 
  in
  a
archaeologists skull

and a mystery brain

but theres more
  of 
    course 
      there 
        is 
          more


i am what my hands touch 
i am what my hands change - aching and grinding
cantilever cranes 
wave and direct
five digit flippers
  to
  shape
  a
  life
from fucktowns hard clay

i sum up this life 

    for 
    reassurance

not here not now

but
during the flat light of afternoons
  i
  list
  and
  bullet point

activities / achievements / geographical location
  and
  the
  journey
  that
  delivered
  my
  soft flesh here

drinking coffee
  and
listening to jazz
  at
  9.43
wednesday morning
