PART TWO OF A FUNERAL TRILOGY



DEFAULT SETTINGS

sarcasm back then

in
the
side alleys of bikes and plywood

was
my 
vocation
trade
lifeboat
default setting
base root foundation

and it had no home
in 
the
constipated dining room air

proper shoes silent
on the hoovered carpet

before

funeral



UNCOMFORTABLE ACTORS

the vibe
could not
be weighed

it 
was 
like
a half-dozen half-written plays
mashed
together
by
the
sideboard

at once saturday afternoon
and monday morning

and
the
actors
pulled
from
comfort

to improvise cautiously

like
god
was
actually
watching




LONG BLACK CARS

tension at once
ebbed and grew

when
the
long
black
cars 
came

but
movement
always
helps
things

and journeys are cocoon
