Domino Hustlers

Backgammon heartbreaker

A little vial of water trapped

About your neck

Domino hustler and

A chain of thieves

predicting which

wage will force the stake                 (crowd’s can please so easily)

Uprooted

indifferent

allocating sensitivity

into folders of insecurity

Shadow boxing with the Ali of hype

quick and shifty evasion grows

culpable…mighty, mighty mistaken

but agreeably culpable none the less         (scholars think they know)

In-Jest.  Ingesting generally, a generic, general

gesticulating generally.  Gestures of a gentile

generalist, gently genuflecting Jen e se qua

gee wizard…Get Shorty. Gelatinous mass

of attack, gentries of sanctimony, sellers of kind

solicitation unlike anything you’ll ever find           (Reawakened now)

In and out of pubs, scrubbing bubbles next to a quartet of jacked-up

amphetamine smoking ducks, of the rubber persuasion, spitting bathwater, as high as the eyeglasses can see.  Free…generational guesswork…popping the quark and nine.           (False Adieu)
